Learn how to fortify your defences
Still relying solely on traditional antivirus? It’s like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
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.
The Limits of Traditional Antivirus
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.
Why You Need Advanced Endpoint Protection
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.
Bridging the Security Gap
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.
