Monitoring endpoint security states is crucial in today's digital landscape where endpoints connected to a network create attack paths for security threats. Endpoint security secures these endpoints from malicious attacks, and having clear visibility into their security state allows organizations to identify known threats and respond in a timely fashion. InfluxDB provides a template that can be used to monitor endpoint security states, which connects to secure endpoints and attempts to log in, collecting availability, authentication, and certificate information. This template displays the general availability for each endpoint along with the x509 certificate status and authentication state, providing valuable insights into endpoint security. By using this template, organizations can gain better control over access points and prevent vulnerabilities posed by remote devices.
