Historically, antiviruses rely on digital signatures to function. Practically, they go to scan the system files for known code fragments and, once identified, block the threat. They are extremely effective on already known viruses, but they are practically useless when dealing with undetected malware. It is for this reason that in the last few years more advanced solutions are being developed, based on machine learning algorithms which, instead of scanning individual files, evaluate the behavior of the system and applications in search of anomalies, so as to be able to identify also threats not yet documented. The problem is that this type of products are often very expensive, within the reach of only the larger realities that can invest huge amounts in the safety of the systems. An alternative is represented by Webroot SecureAnywhere , which offers advanced protection to figures comparable to those of a classic antivirus , within the reach of both SMEs and end users.
Webroot SecureAnywhere, cloud protection for everyone
Webroot SecureAnywhere is a virus-free and completely cloud-based antivirus . For the installation just download a client weighing less than 4 MB and - once installed - it guarantees protection to computers and mobile devices. Unlike some old-fashioned anti-virus software that can affect PC performance, sometimes making it very slow during system scanning, SecureAnywhere has virtually no impact on performance: threat scanning is done on the Webroot Intelligence Network cloud.
In addition to the classic malware, it is able to detect ransomware and phishing attacks, all without requiring efforts to the IT department: all the management is in fact delegated to the Webroot servers .
" The antivirus, reduced for some time to a simple commodity, has regained value in the market and has returned to being a means by which to do business " - explains Andrea Veca, CEO of Achab , the official distributor of Webroot in Italy - " Together with our partner Webroot we offer a simple and innovative solution that we believe can really enable MSPs to provide a high level of service to their customers and make an important profit .
