The best way to manage today’s security threats Security used to be easier.
You installed antivirus (AV) solutions, trained employees not to click on unknown links, and kept software and websites up-to-date. AV solutions have done a great job of helping keep small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) safe for many years. However, the threat patterns are changing, and SMBs need a different type of protection to combat these increasingly sophisticated, severe attacks.
Here’s why: AV solutions rely on signatures (think of a digital fingerprint) to detect threats, but many of the latest threats can’t be caught via signature-based protection—making it easy to slip through and enter your company’s networks undetected.
Here are a few examples of the risks currently present:
📧 Weaponised documents that may seem like harmless PDF attachments in your emails but execute attacks once they enter your network.
📵 Fileless threats that don’t require downloads, but execute from memory, making them difficult to identify.
🚨 Zero-day threats that find an unknown computer vulnerability and exploit it before software or hardware providers can issue updates.
📈 Continued ransomware attacks, which can disable IT networks as cyberattackers demand huge ransoms to restore data and services.
