The strengths and weakness of today’s threat-protection

There is no silver bullet

Published March 2017

The security landscape changed dramatically with the maturation of cryptoransomware in 2014. Not only did this new type of malware bring about a more lucrative business model for attackers, it also spurred the adoption of many so-called ‘next-gen’ endpoint security techniques. While these techniques bring impressive new capabilities to the fight against malware, there is still no one ‘silver bullet’ that can stop every threat — meaning a blend of advanced techniques is required to achieve maximum protection.

This white paper takes a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of many of today’s threat-protection techniques, and outlines why organisations should employ a multi-layered, defense-in-depth approach to security.
