Traditional AntiVirus cannot keep up with the rate that new threats are being created and released. The main reason for this is that it depends on signatures to recognise the threats. These signatures are usually updated a couple of times a day, but may not include the latest threats for several months, once it has been spotted enough times and has been analysed to create the relevant signature.
What you need is an Endpoint Protection solution that doesn’t depend on signatures, but rather examines the computer behaviour to determine the likelihood of threats. This solution should analyse your application behaviour, network activity and disk activity using Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and use this information to take appropriate action. These actions should include the ability to kill the threats, isolate your computer from the rest of the network, recover the computer and also notify a security team of the threat so they can take appropriate action.
