as a HUGO CONNECT client with deep instinct endpoint protection installed on your computers, you can.

traditional antivirus solutions often struggle to keep up with the sophisticated tactics of modern cyber threats. while conventional antivirus programs like sophos and defender have served us well for years, tools that rely on rules and signatures are not enough to prevent unknown, zero-day, and new malware variants. and let’s not forget ransomware attacks. as everyone should be well aware by now (united healthcare, anyone?), ransomware brings a host of challenges to an organization, from data loss and loss of customer confidence to extortion.

say hello to deep instinct endpoint protection, a key component of our managed backup service. through the power of deep learning, deep instinct prevents over 99% of known and unknown attacks before they execute. unlike traditional antivirus, deep instinct doesn’t rely solely on known signatures. instead, it analyzes patterns and behaviors, enabling it to detect and block both known and unknown threats effectively.

what is deep instinct?

deep instinct is a cybersecurity company that uses a unique, deep learning-based approach to predict and prevent cyber threats before they can cause harm. unlike traditional security solutions that react to threats after they occur, deep instinct’s model focuses on prevention.

how does it work?

deep instinct uses advanced artificial intelligence (ai) to mimic the human brain’s ability to learn, enabling it to predict and stop new and unknown threats in real-time. this ability to predict threats before they manifest is what sets deep instinct apart from other security solutions.

deep instinct prevention for endpoints

deep instinct prevention for endpoints works with your existing security tools to stop threats before they cause harm.

  • before execution (pre-execution): detects and stops over 99% of all malware, including new and unknown threats, using advanced deep learning.
  • during execution (on-execution): adds extra layers of protection to automatically block and respond to advanced threats like fileless attacks and stolen credentials.
  • after execution (post-execution): analyzes threats to understand their impact and ensures compliance with security policies. also helps with threat hunting and tracking.

this way, your business gets robust protection at every stage of an attack.

recently, i had a compelling experience with a client that highlighted the effectiveness of deep instinct. several trojans were embedded in word files on a client’s staff laptop, files that had gone undetected by both sophos and defender. deep instinct not only detected these threats but also prevented potential breaches, showcasing its advanced capabilities. this incident was a stark reminder of the limitations of traditional av solutions and the necessity of adopting more advanced security measures.
