With the internet growing its user base every day, the number of advanced threats continues to rise in numbers too. In a world where businesses are driven by technology, it’s even more important to be aware of what tactics you can use to stay protected around the clock.
Embrace the power of continuous EDR monitoring. Endpoint detection and response is a cybersecurity technology that continuously monitors and responds to any advanced threats on your computer system. This critical piece of security technology is designed to investigate the threat from start to finish. You will know how the threat happened, how it got onto your computer, where has it been, what is it doing now, and how to stop it.
With the right knowledge and abilities at your fingertips, you could be well on your way to having one of the most secure businesses in the world.
Malware in the Modern World
As many as 100,000,000 ads have been served up via users of Windows 10, as reported by Forbes in this cybersecurity article on one of today’s biggest threats. They advertised things such as fake security software to technical support service scams.
Could you imagine if one (or even a handful) of your employees fell victim to these shady marketing antics? Even worse, what would happen if they bit on an app that was supposed to do one thing, but ended up leaking sensitive company data instead? The results could be detrimental.
