After installation of endpoint security, the server becomes responsible for the protection of all of its endpoints, so there is no need for endpoints (PC’s, Laptops or computer system) to acquire the security software individually. The server can itself provides the security updates and security threats (if found in any endpoint) to all of its endpoints when it get connected to the internet, so endpoints can secure it selves without wasting money and time on getting extra endpoint security system.
