Description:
New offering promises tighter protection against today's threats, while leaving UX unaffected.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Perimeter 81 says it has gotten even better at protecting its customers from internet-borne risks, as it adds malware protection to its growing list of services.

The new offering works as a combination of continually updated
signature-based detection, and advanced machine learning-based capabilities which are able to identify and block complex polymorphic and zero-day
attacks, the company said. It added that the feature complements its existing web filtering services well, resulting in even stronger and more robust protection for all users, regardless of business size.

The number of cyber threats businesses are facing grows every day. Between viruses, trojans, keyloggers, phishing attacks, ransomware , and other malware, not a day goes by that we dont learn of a new company falling victim to a dangerous cyberattack. The results usually include large data protection watchdog fines, loss of business, and a tarnished reputation. Easy setup

To protect against these threats, businesses deploy all kinds of security solutions, from firewalls, to VPNs, to password managers and web filters. However, the decentralized nature of these solutions makes management difficult, allowing threat actors to slip through the cracks. Thus, having fewer solutions covering more aspects of cyber-risk is always welcome.

Perimeter 81 says the malware protection feature needs no particular setup.
As soon as users sign into the agent, the new offering is activated, automatically applying an extra level of protection. Whats more, user experience is not affected, the company claims. Malware protection works both on the wider internet, and on corporate networks, it was added. Read more
