Endpoint Security — CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) Practice Questions
Endpoint security refers to the set of controls applied directly to individual computers and devices to protect them from threats, rather than relying solely on network-level defenses. On the A+ Core 2 exam, this includes configuring Windows Defender, managing host-based firewalls, enforcing screen locks, applying least-privilege user accounts, and ensuring systems are patched. Technicians must recognize that each endpoint is a potential attack surface and that layered controls reduce risk even when perimeter defenses are bypassed. Questions in this area often present real-world scenarios where a technician must choose the most appropriate combination of endpoint controls.
