Still relying on antivirus software to protect your network and valuable business information? Today’s cybercriminals are more sophisticated than ever, which means that more than antivirus software is needed to keep your company safe. Although antivirus plays a critical role in security, it alone doesn’t protect against all the threats continually being made against your systems. There are three additional security features that can help to make your network the safest it can be. These include email security, web filtering, and firewalls. Together, all four represent an important piece in solving your network security puzzle.
Here is why each is important:
1. Antivirusis is used to scan and detect already existing malware on your computer or network and eliminate them before they are installed or launched, but it doesn’t stop or limit infections from reaching your network or devices
2. Firewall prevents any unapproved users or data from even entering your network, but it doesn't identify and remove threats
3. Email Security protects against messages with attached or embedded viruses that otherwise may have passed through your antivirus and firewall
4. Web Filtering is used to scan the web and prevent sites that have been infected with malicious code from delivering the same virus to you
