PREVENT BREACHES AND INFECTIONS
Video: How WSA Stops Zero Day Malware
As evidenced by the increasing rate of data security breaches and infections, today’s threats have overwhelmed traditional endpoint security. Not only has the volume of malware grown exponentially, but financially motivated attackers circumvent signature-based detection and heuristics that do not take into account file behaviors. Webroot leverages real-time collective intelligence, behavioral heuristics and other innovations to protect organizations against ever-evolving threats.
We take our security and the welfare and protection of our employees very seriously. Webroot enables us to fulfill our role as guardians of our firm’s Web security, and to carry it out as simply and effectively as possible.

PREVENTING DATA THEFT »Once primarily annoyances, malware threats have evolved into more malicious and highly targeted attacks often developed by sophisticated and financially motivated hackers looking to steal everything from money to intellectual property. Powerful Webroot threat shields—including an identity shield that secures online personal information and financial transactions—thwart targeted attacks and other financially motivated malware. |

CONTAINING UNKNOWN THREATS »Traditional signature-based approaches have proven woefully inadequate at preventing breaches by today’s highly adaptive malware and advanced persistent threats. Rather than relying on signatures, Webroot allows unknown files to execute initially in a safe sandbox where behavior is observed and changes are recorded. If the behavior of a file matches the behavior of malware, Webroot immediately blocks the file from executing. A rollback capability can also undo changes and return the machine to a pre-infected state. |

REDUCING OUTBOUND DATA RISKS »In the case of highly targeted malware, signatures rarely, if ever, exist. In addition to behavior-based detection and cloud-based collective threat intelligence, Webroot protects against these threats with an Intelligent outbound firewall that prohibits the delivery of questionable outbound data. |
