The cybersecurity landscape has evolved, and so have the threats. Traditional antivirus, while a foundational layer, is no longer sufficient to protect your business from sophisticated modern attacks. These days, endpoints face fileless malware, zero-day exploits, and highly evasive ransomware that can bypass older defences with ease. It’s time to upgrade your protection.

Antivirus primarily detects known threats using signature-based detection. This means it only stops what it recognises. What about new, never-before-seen threats? What about attacks that don’t involve a malicious file? This is where traditional antivirus falls short, leaving gaping holes in your defence.

Modern endpoint protection platforms (EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions offer multi-layered defence:

• Proactive Threat Hunting: EDR continually monitors endpoint activity, allowing for the detection of suspicious behaviour even from unknown threats.
• AI and Machine Learning: Utilises advanced algorithms to identify anomalies and predict malicious activity before it executes.
• Automated Response: Can automatically isolate compromised devices, kill malicious processes, and roll back changes, minimising damage.
• Centralised Visibility: Provides a single pane of glass to monitor all endpoints, simplifying management for IT teams.

Organisations in the UK are increasingly recognising this gap. A recent survey by CyberArk found that 62% of UK IT decision-makers believe their current security is not enough to defend against sophisticated attacks. Advanced endpoint protection is the answer to this evolving threat landscape.
