Workstation: A computer that is connected to a network and is used for tasks like data processing, data analysis, and other professional applications. Workstations can be individually targeted in network attacks due to their access to valuable data or network resources. Thus, security measures such as antivirus software, firewalls, and user access controls are crucial to protect the data and network resources accessible from a workstation.
