Enterprise malware has been a whole new ballgame over the last ten years. The days of traditional viruses and malicious executable files are gone as cybercriminals try to use other techniques to break into systems. Rather, they rely on ransomware, fileless threats, living-off-the-land (LotL) attacks, zero-day attacks, malicious scripts, and stolen credentials to beat the traditional security drills. These attacks often take advantage of legitimate system tools and trusted applications and are much harder to detect using signature-based antivirus solutions.
Meanwhile, organizations have increased the number of spaces they occupy online via cloud adoption, hybrid work, and remote access. Employees are using business-critical applications from various locations and using various devices, which adds more endpoints to secure the security team. With each laptop, desktop or workstation being a potential attack vector, endpoint security is now a key part of enterprise cyber resilience.
Even if the attack is not malicious and doesn’t change its behavior, traditional AVs are not meant to detect it because it has no malicious files. Today’s business demands endpoint protection that offers real-time visibility, detects suspicious activity, and can quickly respond to prevent malware spreading through the environment. Fidelis Endpoint® is designed to solve these problems by integrating Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), behavioral analytics, continuous endpoint telemetry, automated response, and deep forensic analysis and investigation into a single platform. Fidelis Endpoint® doesn’t just rely on known malware signatures; it analyzes endpoint behavior to identify advanced threats at any stage in the attack lifecycle, enabling organizations to investigate incidents quickly and increase enterprise malware protection.
