Strong Endpoint Protection with WatchGuard EPP

Posted March 29, 2022

CYBERSECURITY CHALLENGES

In the ongoing battle to defend your organization, the endpoint is a favorite target for cybercriminals. This means that it is more important than ever to protect and monitor all endpoints that handle sensitive information and connect to systems both inside and outside the corporate network.

In fact, last year over 350,000 new malicious programs were being registered every day. Hackers are targeting vulnerable endpoints, where enterprises store their most valuable assets. The reason? As is so often the case, for economic gain. Malware and ransomware have become some of the most prevalent threats, although paradoxically, the direct costs are not the main problem – rather, it is the downtime they cause. This is forcing enterprises to adopt measures to improve their security posture.

PROTECT YOUR COMPANY AGAINST MALWARE AND RANSOMWARE

The increasing exposure of companies to new types of malware and threats endangers their security posture, requiring new approaches to help reduce the impact of possible attacks.

WatchGuard EPP is an effective Cloud-native security solution that centralizes next-generation antivirus for all your Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops, laptops, and servers, in addition to the leading virtualization systems and Android devices. This complete protection covers all vectors: network (firewall), email, web, and external devices.

It includes a set of EPP technologies to prevent malware, ransomware, and the latest threats. One of these technologies checks in real-time the WatchGuard Threat Intelligence, a huge repository being fed by the latest machine-learning algorithms, to detect malicious attacks faster.

Moreover, there is no need to maintain hardware and software. Its lightweight agent has no impact on endpoint performance, simplifying security management and increasing operational efficiency.
