Antivirus Solutions
Antivirus protection software detects and deflects malware that can penetrate a company’s digital systems to steal, misuse or destroy data. It is able to protect a range of devices like laptops, desktops and mobile devices like tablets and smartphones as well as connected home gadgets like smart TVs and printers.
Modern antivirus applications employ multiple detection methods to block the spread of a single virus. Signature-based detection is the most common method. This involves keeping an array of distinct code fragments known as malware signatures and analyzing files to identify matches. However, if attackers modify existing malicious code enough to not be recognized by these signatures, they are considered polymorphic and requires advanced detection methods.
Heuristic-based detection is a more sophisticated method. It aims to identify malware by recognizing patterns that are specific to malicious code, like modifying and deleting large amounts of data, changing the settings of other programs or remotely connecting to computers. Security detection using algorithms can result in false positives and fatigue.
Find a virus protection program that is able to handle polymorphic malware and ransomware. It is also required to handle memory attacks, memory attacks, and other advanced threats. It should also be easy to deploy across a vast range of devices, which includes Macs and PCs, and run on different operating systems. Additionally, it shouldn’t use up too many system resources, as this could hinder the performance of a single device, or lead to computer crashes.
