Endpoint protection
Endpoint security remains critical, but building an effective solution is more challenging than ever. In addition, to this day, organizations still have to deal with the conditions dictated by performance compromises. In addition, regulatory compliance requirements in the financial field pose a serious task for both our customers and Us in the forests of endpoints beyond the ‘field’ Windows workstations.
Today’s state-of-the-art endpoint protection solutions try to act against today’s typical threats with up to 10 comprehensive approaches, providing broad and in-depth protection against targeted attackts with the help of new generation technologies that use advanced machine learning, file reputation analysis and real-time behaviour monitoring. To name just a few of the more well-known:
- Network Firewall and Intrusion Prevention: Checking traffic and blocking malware before arriving on the machine
- Manage apps and devices: Rules-based application and device control
- Avoiding memory exploits: Block zero-day threats targeting vulnerabilities in popular software
- Reputation-based analysis: Determining the security of files and websites using community knowledge
- Advanced Machine Learning: Detect new and evolving threats before they act
- Emulator: Detect malware hidden inside custom packers by running in an emulated environment
- Antivirus protection: Traditional signature-based protection
- Behavioural analysis: Monitor and block files that behave suspiciously
In addition, we should not pass by such new directions that the solution of the given vendors currently represents only one new direction by visioning, also just a few examples:
- Kernel-based protection
- Availability of EDR/XDR feature sets on Linux and Mac clients
- Detection and analysis of cloud-based services
- Fast integration of the most state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methodologies
- Protection based on process-based prevention, even with the help of a plug-in module
- Technique based (and not known vulnerability based) intrusion prevention
- Anti-malware interface testing solutions
- Modern incident management interface
- Cooperation as widely as possible with other vendors and sharing patterns of threat they know
