FeatureAcronis has developed a unique and holistic approach to cyber protection composed of five vectors: Safety, Accessibility, Privacy, Authenticity and Security SAPAS. Data protection or cyber security alone are not enough anymore. SAPAS allows for a well-rounded comprehensive protection experience going beyond traditional backups or classical Antivirus solutions which only focus on one part of the issue.
For IT users working to modernise their cyber protection, it’s time to rethink digital defenses in order to avoid cyber threats and data loss. Abandoning traditional solutions and approaches can be a difficult thing to do but maintaining an IT infrastructure which is protected, is even more technically and financially challenging without the right protection. Outdated strategies and products are no match for today’s requirements.
An integrated cyber-protection software allows the disruption of attacks at various stages depending on the type of attack at play
Both businesses and individuals need to evolve to cyber protection in order to anticipate and defeat cyber-attacks. That is why behavioral anti-malware like the one found in our products, with Active Protection, and powered by artificial intelligence AI, has emerged as an important defense against hackers and a great support to CISOs’ fight against cyber threats. Active Protection uses both AI and machine learning to identify malware by how it behaves, it looks for suspicious activities, as opposed to only matching it against a known threat database. The way we work, connect, and communicate has changed dramatically.
Businesses must support IT solutions for employees in traditional office environments as well as those working from home. Remote work tools are a common and growing target for cybercriminals. Vulnerabilities in these tools may present an attack vector that allows cybercriminals to skim transferred data, inject code, or even access corporate systems through a backdoor.
Most of the email-borne threats come from unpatched systems and software which allow for targeted malware attacks
Companies mostly base their key decisions on data and the need to trust this data. Cyber-crime is a growing threat, but because people are becoming more cautious, cyber criminals are using smarter approaches as well. There is organised crime for physical attacks and there are now organised crimes for cyber-attacks as well.
Most of the email-borne threats come from unpatched systems and software which allow for targeted malware attacks. An integrated cyber-protection software allows the disruption of these attacks at various stages depending on the type of attack at play, by providing an in-depth defense. First, users need patch management to help ensure that the software is up to date, if the attack still happens, it will stop the malware from running using both a traditional signature-based approach and a modern AI-based detection.
Companies should focus on training their workforce with the latest tools and decision makers need to be comfortable using data processing tools
Finally, if none of the protections work and if the data is still encrypted, it can be recovered from a secure remote backup. The main challenge in cyber security is that too many things are happening at once. Technologies that will solve the problem either by integrating segregated products under common management and reporting, by providing AI-based automated incident response, or better sorting the incoming flow of security alerts and removing false positives will have a significant impact on cyber protection.
Companies should focus on training their workforce with the latest tools and decision makers need to be comfortable using data processing tools as well, in order to not rely on staff for analysis. It is not only a matter of security experts and IT professionals. Everyone in an organisation is a potential threat and should be kept informed of risks and how to avoid them.
Using behavioral anti-malware with Active Protection with artificial intelligence has emerged as an important defense against hackers and support for CISOs.
