      E Security protocols for API endpoints in mobile banking applications Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Endpoints are the most common attack entry points like phishing emails open on employee laptops, USB drops on branch computers, or vulnerabilities in ATM software. Endpoint security includes antivirus/anti-malware, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), disk encryption (BitLocker), application whitelisting, host-based firewall, DLP (Data Loss Prevention), and patch management. Banks must secure not just servers but every device connecting to the network, including the thousands of ATMs running embedded OS.
