What is Endpoint Protection?
One of the most important parts of your business security is endpoint protection, also called endpoint security. Endpoints are where cybercriminals execute code and exploit vulnerabilities. For your business, an endpoint may be a tablet, smartphone, desktop, laptop, server, or workstation. Security at this point needs to be protected against attacks, exploits, or even data leakage caused by human error.Why the Need for New Protection?
For decades, organizations have relied heavily on antivirus and antimalware as a way to secure endpoints. Today’s modern security threats are changing and evolving so rapidly that they no longer can protect endpoints with antivirus programs alone.
- Deep learning malware detection checks executable files pre-execution and is powered by machine learning.
- Exploit Prevention is able to detect and stop over 25 exploit methods used to compromise vulnerable applications.
- CryptoGuard detects and rolls back malicious file encryption activity caused by ransomware.
- Safe browsing is made possible by monitoring a web browser’s crypt, presentation, and network interfaces to detect man-in-the-browser attacks that are common in many banking trojans.
- Root cause analysis that gives a full explanation of what happened when malicious activity was detected.
- Sophos Clean provides a robust malware removal capability that will restore tampered Windows OS files and registries.
- Prevention of dumping of credentials.
- Uses active adversary mitigations by disrupting an attack that has established a presence on the host.
