End-to-end security means that sensitive data is encrypted all the way from your device side application back to the enterprise. Rather than relying on transport-level security such as SSL, end-to-end security puts the power of strong encryption in your hands, all through a simple interface. This ends the so-called “air gap” where sensitive data was previously decrypted at the gateway during translation for wireless protocols into Internet protocols.
End-to-end monitoring is the process of attempting to access a web server or other Internet device from across the Internet, just as a real end user would, to verify that the server is accessible and functioning properly at all times. This approach can be used instead of, or as a complement to, local monitoring software run by the Web Administrator.
