Several factors in recent years have increased endpoint vulnerability — from organizations’ need to make access to data more fluid, to threats targeting mobile device access and networks, to the growing work-from-home and work-on-the-go trends. Endpoints connected to a network — including remote devices, IoT devices, workstations, tablets, laptops and servers — create attack paths for security threats.

Twitter as a social media channel has obviously taken the world by storm. Everything that happens and is trending around the globe takes place or is reported on Twitter.
