Understanding cybersecurity is now essential for both individuals and businesses. However, for businesses, it is critical to success. One essential tool for mitigating threats is “next-gen” antivirus protection.
FTC Business Solutions serves clients ranging from single end users with one workstation to organizations with numerous users and servers. Regardless of size, cybersecurity is crucial because, as one FTC Business Solutions expert noted, “they don’t just target the big companies anymore.”
A critical step for any business is educating its end users that cyberattacks are a constant threat. For instance, a user might receive an email that looks legitimate and click on an attached invoice, only to become a victim of a cyberattack—along with the company. This compromises the network and its data, making it vulnerable to attackers.
These cybercriminals are highly sophisticated, constantly evolving their tactics as people become more aware. They use techniques like phishing, spoofing, and hijacking to plant malware, ransomware, and steal passwords. Awareness alone isn’t enough — employees must remain vigilant.
Strong protection is also key to defending against these threats. The FTC Business Solutions next-gen platform uses patented technology to replace traditional antivirus applications and safeguard businesses. This is achieved through a multi-vector approach that includes Static AI and Behavioral AI technologies to detect unusual activity in real time, such as fileless attacks, exploits, malicious macros, harmful scripts, cryptominers and ransomware.
This protection is delivered in milliseconds, shutting down attacks and reducing hacker dwell time to near zero. Response features include alerting, killing processes, quarantining files, undoing unwanted changes, Windows rollback for data recovery, network isolation, remote shell access and more.
In summary, the FTC Business Solutions platform offers a superior alternative to traditional antivirus software, providing a more comprehensive and intelligent approach to endpoint security. Here’s how:
1. AI-Driven Technology: Unlike traditional antivirus solutions that depend on static signatures, FTC Business Solutions uses advanced AI algorithms to detect and neutralize threats in real time, covering a wide range of attack vectors with Static AI for pre-execution and Behavioral AI for on-execution.
2. Multi-Vector Approach: The platform offers a holistic security solution that goes beyond endpoints to cover containers, cloud workloads, and IoT devices, providing a unified platform for various enterprise needs.
3. Automated Response: Designed to minimize attack dwell time, it offers automated responses like alerting, killing processes, quarantining files, and rolling back attacks to restore data.
4. MITRE ATT&CK® Framework: The platform aligns its threat detection and response with the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, offering industry-standard context and tactical guidance.
5. Threat Hunting: With features like Storyline™, the platform automates event correlation, helping analysts quickly identify the root cause of an issue.
By integrating these advanced capabilities into a single platform, FTC Business Solutions provides a robust, future-proof solution that far exceeds the capabilities of traditional antivirus software. The cost is scalable based on the number of end users, making it affordable even for small businesses with just a single workstation.
And to say cybersecurity is vital for business is an understatement. As one FTC Business Solution technician succinctly put it: “You can’t afford not to. One hit and you could go under.”
