Abstract

ABSTRACT In today’s digital space, endpoints such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones are the weakest link in the security chain of an organization network, often regarded as preys targeted by predators (cyber threats) due to weak defenses, limited monitoring and lack of centralized security enforcement. This study aims to design and implement a Secure Endpoint Communication System capable of detecting, reporting and responding to malicious activities across connected devices. The system employs a lightweight Flutter-based client application agent installed on each endpoint to collect device information, monitor app behaviors, and communicate with the central server in real time thorough secure channels. while the agent processes incoming data for threat indicators using rule-based detection and behavior analysis. Upon identifying a potential threat, the admin is notified and can issue commands such as warnings or app restrictions. The system highlights the need for lightweight, real-time endpoint monitoring in organizational cybersecurity strategies.
