Pathfinder Report: Next Generation Endpoint: Hype or Hope?

In the world of endpoint security and antivirus, we’ve clearly seen this effect in play with the need to shift away from using signatures as the primary method for malware prevention. No less than 37 new endpoint security products have emerged in the past five years, each claimed to address the changing landscape. A closer look shows that most of these new products either focus on a narrow spectrum of attacks, or use techniques that can be easily evaded. A more reliable approach should include cross-product integration and several layers of resilient prevention and detection techniques. This paper addresses the trends that have emerged to deal with malware challenges on the endpoint and presents customers with the information necessary to evaluate the right approach for their organization.
