Ransomware Protection with Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Security used to be easier. You installed antivirus (AV) solutions, trained employees not to click on unknown links, and kept software websites updated. Those days are gone.

For years, antivirus solutions have done an excellent job of helping to keep small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) safe. However, the threat patterns are changing, and SMBs need a different type of protection to combat these increasingly sophisticated, severe attacks.

What Antivirus Solutions Can Miss?
The typical antivirus solutions rely on signatures to detect threats – think of a digital fingerprint. The latest threats do not use signatures and can slip through and enter your company’s networks and go undetected. According to a Ponemon Institute study, 82% of SMBs say they have experienced a cyberattack that their antivirus systems didn’t catch.

What are some examples of risks we are currently seeing?

• Weaponized documents may seem like harmless PDF attachments in your emails, but they execute attacks once they enter your network.
• Fileless threats that don’t require downloads, but perform from memory, making them challenging to identify.
• Zero-day threats that find an unknown computer vulnerability and exploit it before software or hardware providers can issue updates.
• And, of course, continued ransomware attacks can disable IT networks as cyber attackers demand huge ransoms to restore data and services.
