entry points

Where you begin

Entry points are places where something can be entered or accessed.

In computing, an entry point is where a program begins execution or where external code can hook into a system.

In business, it's how customers first encounter a product or service.

Security contexts use entry points for potential vulnerabilities: The audit identified three entry points for attackers.

The term often implies multiple access options: The park has several entry points along the trail.
