What is the role of an endpoint in protecting a user from a phishing attack?

One of the key capabilities of endpoint security is to prevent phishing attacks by ensuring that antivirus and anti malware software is up to date. This helps to detect and block malicious attachments or links that may be embedded in phishing emails. Antivirus and anti malware software can also scan the endpoint for any signs of compromise or infection that may have resulted from a successful phishing attack. Additionally, endpoint security can provide data loss prevention (DLP) features that can prevent sensitive data from being exfiltrated by attackers who have gained access to the endpoint through phishing. References :=
