From Guessing To Knowing—How Cloud Endpoint Security Keeps You Ahead of Threats

Grayson Milbourne, Director of Global Threat Research, Webroot
You’ve heard about how today’s online threats have become too sophisticated for “traditional” threat detection.  These new malware attacks are far too frequent, benign-looking until activated, and designed to bypass traditional signatures and the guesswork of heuristics.
 
So, by the time the threat is identified and your security technology is updated, it’s too late—the damage has been done.  You are also up against transient Web-based threats that appear for only hours or days.  Blacklisting becomes obsolete the moment it is deployed. And relying on whitelisting can be too restrictive.  So what are your options?
 
Cloud-based prevention collectively leverages the intelligence seen from each individual endpoint; examines the actions of individual files, IP or URLs; assesses the risks; and then takes action.  And cloud-based intelligence means you’re not relying on the current threat protection on other endpoints. Prevention is now always up-to-date and all users are instantly protected as soon as new threats appear.  This collective prevention minimizes IT workload by eliminating the need to worry about definition updates, or whether your remote workers’ protection is up-to-date.
 
Cloud-based Webroot threat prevention technologies—that power our award-winning endpoint security products—are changing the game back in favor of the ‘good guys.’ Attend this session and find out more about what’s behind the first true innovation for endpoint protection in 20 years.

  • Enhancing MDM's to Protect User Privacy through App Reputation Jul 17 2013 5:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Today’s MDM solutions are effective at lost device and malicious app protection, ensuring passwords are used and separating and securing both personal and corporate information on the same device – but what about protecting against apps with shady privacy practices? For instance, apps whose developers monetize through imbedded advertising engines which pay based on the amount of user data collected. Or, apps which insecurely store, access and/or transmit user data. How can IT admins protect against the choices users are making when installing 3rd party apps? From a security perspective, this area needs to be addressed before corporate and personal data is compromised. As a result, a mobile application reputation service for Android and iOS platforms is required to specifically address the issues of shady apps. By analyzing dozens of key metrics, app reputation analysis greatly assists in the decision making process when it comes to a user installing a new app. By being able to immediately alert the user to the potential security risks, or poor security practices, it provides an informed opportunity for them to compare the app against other similar, yet more secure, apps.

  • Smartphones, tablets and the need for security exigency Recorded: Dec 19 2012 75 mins
    Smartphones and tablet Computers are both pervasive and ubiquitous – they are also intrinsically unsafe data communication devices, especially if their owner jailbreaks, roots or similarly unlocks them.
    But how do you secure their usage – both at home, in the field and the workplace?

    With this webinar we will tell you how to raise your personal and business security bar when using smart portable devices: where the danger hot spots lie, and how those dangers can be remediated

  • A Better Mousetrap: Leveraging the Cloud to Improve Endpoint Protection Recorded: Sep 6 2012 64 mins
    This eSeminar goes beyond concepts and looks at the performance and effectiveness of cloud-based endpoint security in the real world. Join a panel of experts as they discuss the critical aspects to consider in the evaluation and deployment of next-generation threat protection.
     
    Frost & Sullivan’s Stratecast analyst, Michael Suby, will present new research on how cloud-based endpoint security solutions overcome many of the pain points caused by the aging signature-based model. Ty Smith, IT manager of offshore engineering firm Doris, Inc., will then walk you through deploying a solution that not only improved both security and user productivity but also saved hundreds of IT hours. He will also describe the evaluation criteria his team used for replacing Doris’ traditional endpoint security product, which was difficult to manage, kept employees from their work during long scans, and left infections undetected.
