Endpoint Management Software Resources

Risk Analysis is a new feature within the Absolute platform that provides a comprehensive assessment of the risk associated with a particular device, leveraging the reporting and analytics collected by the Absolute platform with a series of targeted recommendations provided by experienced risk professionals. This is available to customers with Absolute Resilience licenses. Designed for businesses or organizations that are looking to assess a device’s risk profile before deciding whether to conduct a full device investigation that requires a theft report. This new feature is ideal for devices that may be at risk but not necessarily stolen, e.g. when a device is lost or misplaced, may contain regulated data or display suspicious activity. The resulting report includes detailed information collected directly from the device in order to assess risk, as well as recommendations from an Absolute security expert on how to respond appropriately.

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection works very differently from traditional and even so-called “next-gen” endpoint security. Backed by the Webroot® Threat Intelligence Platform—our advanced, fully cloud-based, machine learning threat intelligence architecture—Webroot solutions definitively identify all files and processes that execute on each endpoint as good, bad, or unknown in real time. The agent was written very efficiently, almost at the machine code level, so it is capable, feature-rich, and needs minimal space on an endpoint’s hard drive. Webroot real-time detection and protection uses a fully cloud-based architecture that places the processing burden of identifying malware in the cloud, not on endpoint resources. This keeps the installed agent lightweight, and extremely efficient. Additionally, SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection uses a RAW scanning approach that, when combined with other techniques, means it performs faster than many other antivirus approaches.

Webroot SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection is designed to provide protection even when a user is offline. All previously made categorizations are remembered on each endpoint. Should a user insert a USB and load a file that infected them previously, the agent would automatically block that threat. If a never-before-seen threat infiltrated the endpoint while offline, then offline policy heuristics would protect the user. These heuristics account for the origin of a given file, such as a USB stick, or CD/DVD. If the file or process is unknown, the agent continuously monitors, journals, and limits the activities and changes the unknown file can make. Once the endpoint is back online, if any files introduced while offline are determined to be malicious, the agent automatically remediates the threat using its built-in rollback capabilities.
