Advanced threats are all too real. They can cause monstrous damage and are notoriously difficult to defend against. However, there are ways to close the gaps in your defenses and protect your organization against dangerous advanced cyber-attacks.
To deal with 1 million new malware variants a day, you need to arm yourself with reputation analysis and behavior monitoring technologies. Why? While malware mutates, its behavior doesn’t change as easy as its static indicators. By capturing malicious behavior, we can effectively stop malware attacks. However, the biggest issue with behavior based security technology is false-positives. That’s when reputation analysis comes in. It mitigates false-positives by analyzing key file attributes and the users’ internet hygiene.
Symantec Endpoint Protection utilizes both reputation-based analysis (Symantec™ Insight) and real-time behavioral monitoring technology (SONAR™) that applies machine-learning heuristics to detect and block unknown malware without increasing false-positives.
