Today, the selection of available antivirus software is impressive. There are many options available and businesses have a wide choice but also a dilemma about which one to choose. Hackers have not been passive and nowadays they can reach your data in multiple ways, often by crafting sophisticated attacks. Malware can now spread very fast from one device to another and may come with all kinds of new viruses. If it is a zero-day-attack it can sneak in before the antivirus software has updated. Here you can read more about:
- What is malware and why is it dangerous
- Different mechanisms cyber criminals may be using to reach your data
Worried? You should be. It is your data after all.
When it comes to your business security and security of your data your antivirus software choice should definitely be made from among the best available. But what are the best ones? There is no right or wrong answer to this! Every business is different and it is important to keep in mind the specific needs of your business, the scale and type of protection needed, the budget and so on.
Remember that although antivirus is one of the most positive steps in business security it does not guarantee total, 100% protection.
We always recommend antivirus as a must for your business security next to other security measures such as firewall protection, VPN software, endpoint protection, backups and more backups etc. If you would like to learn more about security measures you should talk to us.
