endpoint
a specific place where software sends a request and gets a response
In computing, a specific address, route, or interface through which a software service or API can be accessed.
a device, such as a laptop or phone, that is connected to a network
In networking and cybersecurity, a computer, phone, server, or other device that communicates on a network and may need to be managed or protected.
the point where something ends
A point that marks the end of something, such as a line, route, interval, period, or process.
a result that researchers measure to see whether a treatment works
In a clinical study or other research, a defined event, measurement, or outcome used to judge the effect of a treatment or intervention.
the moment in a titration when the indicator shows the reaction has finished
In titration, the stage at which an indicator shows that the reaction is complete, usually by a color change.
- Base: endpoint
- Plural: endpoints
api endpoint
1specific API access point
A specific place in an API where a program sends a request.
- The API endpoint /users returns a list of registered users.
- Use a different API endpoint to update a profile.
- The old API endpoint will stop working next month.
- This API endpoint gives us user data.
- The endpoint is not working today.
api endpoint
1API request address
one specific address used to communicate with an API
- The API endpoint for creating a user accepts POST requests.
- Check the documentation for the correct API endpoint before you send the request.
- The mobile app could not connect because the API endpoint had changed.
- This API endpoint returns weather data.
- Call the API endpoint with your user ID.
endpoint detection and response
1endpoint threat monitoring
security tools that watch devices for attacks and help respond
- The bank deployed endpoint detection and response across all employee laptops.
- Endpoint detection and response helped analysts trace the malware infection.
- Many security teams use EDR tools to investigate alerts quickly.
- EDR watches computers for threats.
- The company uses endpoint detection and response.
endpoint protection
1device security protection
software or tools that protect connected devices
- All company laptops must run approved endpoint protection software.
- The endpoint protection platform blocked the infected file.
- Small businesses often buy endpoint protection as part of a security package.
- Endpoint protection blocks viruses.
- Install endpoint protection on your laptop.
endpoint security
1protecting network devices
security for devices that connect to a network
- The company improved endpoint security after several laptops were stolen.
- Endpoint security tools can block suspicious programs before they run.
- Remote work has made endpoint security more important for many businesses.
- Endpoint security protects company laptops.
- We need better endpoint security.
primary endpoint
1main study outcome
the most important result that a study measures
- The primary endpoint was survival without disease progression after one year.
- The trial failed to meet its primary endpoint.
- Researchers must define the primary endpoint before the study begins.
- The primary endpoint was lower pain.
- The study met its primary endpoint.
secondary endpoint
1additional study outcome
another result a study measures, but not the main one
- Fatigue scores were included as a secondary endpoint.
- The drug missed the primary endpoint but improved several secondary endpoints.
- Secondary endpoints can help researchers understand a treatment's broader effects.
- Sleep quality was a secondary endpoint.
- The trial had three secondary endpoints.
surrogate endpoint
1substitute outcome measure
a measurement that stands in for a more direct health result
- Blood pressure is often used as a surrogate endpoint for cardiovascular risk.
- Regulators questioned whether the surrogate endpoint truly predicted patient survival.
- The study used tumor shrinkage as a surrogate endpoint.
- The test result was a surrogate endpoint.
- A surrogate endpoint predicts a later health result.
