Antivirus Can't Keep Up With New Threats

Traditional security approaches for small and medium-sized businesses — installing antivirus solutions, training staff, and updating software — are no longer sufficient against modern cyber threats.

The Problem

AV solutions rely on signatures to detect threats, but many of the latest threats do not have signatures — and consequently bypass detection systems. 82% of small and medium-sized businesses say they've been hit by a cyber threat their AV systems didn't catch.

The Solution: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

EDR tools are a cybersecurity category designed to identify and respond to security incidents on endpoints including laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices.

How EDR Works

EDR capabilities include real-time monitoring of endpoint activity, collection of data on processes and network connections, and machine learning to identify suspicious behaviour. When threats are detected, EDR systems can automatically contain them by quarantining infected devices or blocking malicious connections, and can restore devices to their pre-infection state after ransomware.

EDR tools form an essential component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. Learn about our Cybersecurity Solutions or get in touch.
