In the previous blog, we have got an idea about the viruses, the types, and the use of Antivirus to protect endpoints of our IT environment. Whereas, in this blog, we will talk about the best Antivirus solution for an organization. Before moving to the solution, we should talk about the problem of why securing our endpoints is important nowadays?

Importance of Endpoint Security

Endpoints are the primary targets of cyber attackers. The percentage of the attacks is increasing expeditiously which is why people are seeing too many data leaks.

In the recent research, it was found that attacks on the endpoints have been increased as follows:

• Mobile Ransomware has been increased by 33%.
• IoT attacks have been increased by a shocking 600%.
• 56% increment in risky Wi-fi network.
• 54% increment in mobile malware variants.
• 70+ million records leaked or stolen because of poor AWS configuration.
• 80% Increase in iOS and Android vulnerabilities

As the consequences, the subsequent destruction of successful attacks and many organizations try to strengthen their overall defense by adding multiple endpoint protection products.
