Advanced endpoint protection takes on the latest exploits

Scale is one measure of a security challenge. The AV-Test Institute registered 100 million-plus new malicious programs during a 12-month period ending in May 2017. Another way to gauge a security problem's severity is by its price tag.

CISOs and directors who stay apprised of advanced endpoint protection developments can make informed decisions about where to invest in this market and provide input on its course of growth. Endpoint security is making strides in behavior analytics, sandboxing and machine learning, increasing its capacity to mitigate advanced malware. These developments play a significant role in defending the enterprise against evolving threats...
