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.
