        abstract = {Endpoint security is evolving rapidly in response to the increasing complexity of cyber threats and the shift towards cloud-based, remote, and hybrid work environments. Traditional security models are no longer sufficient to defend against sophisticated attacks such as ransomware, supply chain breaches, and zero-day exploits. This paper explores the future of endpoint security by analyzing emerging trends, key challenges, and innovative solutions shaping the cybersecurity landscape. Key trends include the adoption of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), AI-driven threat detection, extended detection and response (XDR), and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). The challenges of endpoint security, such as managing a growing attack surface, balancing security with user experience, and ensuring compliance, are also discussed. Furthermore, the study highlights innovations like autonomous security systems, behavioral analytics, and hardware-based security measures. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for a proactive and adaptive approach to endpoint security, integrating advanced technologies and strategic frameworks to mitigate evolving threats effectively.},
