Malware and Virus Protection
Malware and Virus Protection

Malware and Virus Protection should be your business’s top priority—right alongside revenue generation. Backing up your business data and securing your network against malicious activity, both inside and outside the office, are essential steps in maintaining business continuity and compliance.

We’ve created a detailed ransomware prevention guide to help organizations reduce the risk of cyberattacks. It also serves as a valuable resource when preparing for a Network and Security Risk Assessment, HIPAA Compliance, and other regulatory requirements.

Our team is currently re-evaluating endpoint protection across all servers and workstations to ensure rapid detection of malware and viruses. The goal is to automatically alert your team in case of infection—or even if an endpoint protection agent is maliciously removed.

Avoid relying on outdated tools like Symantec or McAfee, which have shown poor detection rates in real-world tests. We’ve seen ransomware successfully encrypt entire networks while Symantec Cloud Endpoint Protection remained inactive.

Investing in modern, proactive Malware and Virus Protection is no longer optional—it’s the foundation of a secure and resilient IT environment.

 

Here’s a list of Endpoint Protection that we are currently testing or has proven success against the latest Ransomware.

 

  • ESET Business Account
    • We have seen this detect and remove the latest Cryptolock Ransomware by running the NOD32 boot ISO.
    • The ESET online scanner is another option for scanning the restored server that was compromised/encrypted.
    • The support team is very easy to work with and is helpful.
  • Webroot Cloud Endpoint
    • We started out with this protection but it has proven to be really weak protection.
  • NetworkAntics Managed IT protection
    • We do not advertise our Managed IT protection but we have been around the block with a lot of these programs.  We are thrilled with the results provided by the protection including in our Managed IT stack.
