Given the primitiveness of the threat landscape, this usually worked. Additionally, enterprises could easily keep track of all the computers connecting to their network; most commonly, all the desktop endpoints operated from a single room, where IT professionals could keep a close eye on them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately, malware evolved. The hackers behind them learned how to circumvent typical signature-based detection by using signatureless malware. Even as signatureless antivirus and next-generation antivirus developed, hackers developed new methods of avoiding detection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are a few reasons to ditch antivirus and choose <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">endpoint protection<\/a> instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"#\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/files\/2019\/01\/endpoint-security-speedbump-cta.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to Endpoint Security Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Why You Need to Ditch Your Antivirus<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Fileless Malware Is Growing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fileless malware operates in a manner so remarkably different from typical malware it bears comment. Typical malware downloads a file onto an endpoint, from which it can perform its nefarious operations. Antivirus tracks down these files and (hopefully) removes them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, fileless malware doesn\u2019t download any file at all (hence the name). Instead, it uses a native process of the endpoint to run its nefarious code, basically infecting the computer from within its own programming. Due to how it operates, antivirus solutions can\u2019t detect fileless malware; there\u2019s no signature to trace and no file to find.. As a result, hackers\u2019 use of fileless malware continues to grow exponentially.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So what can you do? How does endpoint protection stop fileless malware in a way antivirus can\u2019t?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>EDR As the Key to a Better Cybersecurity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Due to problems like fileless malware and the overall eventual success rate of hackers (which nears 100 percent over time), detection-based cybersecurity no longer makes sense. Instead, enterprises must switch to a detection and response model which best suits the evolving threat landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nowhere is that more evident than in endpoint detection and response (EDR). EDR operates in a manner reminiscent of SIEM, but from a more endpoint-oriented standpoint. It searches out for threats that have penetrated the digital perimeter by analyzing data from firewalls, databases, and applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If EDR detects a potential security event, it can send an alert to your IT security team. These alerts give a direction for teams to investigate, a means to facilitate and speed their investigations. The faster an investigation goes, the faster the potential remediation can occur and the faster your business can resume normal operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Cybersecurity Extends Beyond Malware<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, the main reason to ditch antivirus and switch to endpoint protection isn\u2019t about malware. In fact, malware represents only one aspect of what endpoint protection can offer as a cybersecurity protection offering. Two of the major capabilities that help protect businesses include data loss protection (DLP) and application control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former prevents employees and even privileged access users from moving data without the right permissions. This can involve preventing data from moving outside the network such as to public cloud databases and inside the network via unsecured connections; together, DLP prevents data from being in the wrong place at the wrong time, thus preventing leaks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, application control<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">maintains control over the movement and permissions of applications, whether created by the business or by a third party. Without proper monitoring, applications could become hijacked by external threat actors and used to fulfill attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why do you need to ditch antivirus?
