Beyond Antivirus: The Last Stand Against Cyber Threats

In today's interconnected world, traditional antivirus software alone is no longer sufficient to protect against sophisticated cyber threats. As cybercriminals evolve their tactics, organizations must adopt comprehensive strategies that go beyond antivirus measures. This talk explores innovative approaches and technologies for endpoint security, focusing on proactive defense mechanisms, threat detection strategies, and effective incident response protocols. We will discuss the role of AI and machine learning in enhancing threat detection capabilities, the importance of user education and awareness and how we are enforcing this.
