Why Anti-Virus Alone Isn’t Enough: Embracing a Holistic Cybersecurity Strategy

A Velox Employee working diligently to help a client become cybersecure.

Anti-virus alone isn’t enough to bolster your cybersecurity, but there are comprehensive, dynamic tools you can add to your arsenal. While anti-virus software is a crucial element in the fight against malware, it alone cannot ensure complete cybersecurity. Although anti-virus plays a significant role in detecting and removing known malicious hardware, it relies on something known as signature-based detection. Signature-based detection takes sign-in action and compares it to known patterns malicious actors follow. However, hackers are dynamic in their methods, so anti-virus alone can become an outdated method for securing your enterprise.

 

What does Anti-Virus Do, Do I Need More?

Anti-virus programs also fail at addressing things such as phishing scams, more of the most common entrance points into an organization. They also fail to attack catastrophic events such as ransomware attacks, and network intrusions. These threats require complementary security measures, such as strong firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and advanced endpoint protection.

 

How Do You Build a Comprehensive, Holistic, Cybersecurity System?

Anti-virus alone isn’t enough to bolster your cybersecurity, but there are comprehensive, dynamic tools such as endpoint security you can add to your arsenal. To build a robust defense against modern cyber threats, a multi-layered approach is essential.  Ongoing awareness and training with phishing campaigns and education is vital and can be done with one’s cybersecurity specialist. Endpoint security is also a crucial tool that when used in tandem with your cybersecurity expert and ant-virus, packs a powerful punch toward a hacker.
