Webroot SecureAnywhere – Endpoint Protection was launched as the flagship product in Webroot’s business portfolio in early 2012. The solution leverages cloud-based antimalware technologies to identify new threats more effectively and with fewer resource requirements* than traditional endpoint protection offerings.
Key benefits include:
- More effective protection: Rather than relying on signatures that can consume network bandwidth and leave users exposed to new threats, Webroot leverages a cloud-based intelligence network to analyze every file that tries to run on a computer. When a new threat is identified, every Webroot customer is protected within seconds.
- Superior performance: Webroot SecureAnywhere – Endpoint Protection installs in less than 6 seconds – 42 times faster than the average competitor*. It uses 12MB of memory during its initial scan, which is less than 10% of the memory needed by the average traditional security tool. Its system scan, which searches the system for rootkits and complex threats, takes less than 2 minutes on average.*
- Easier manageability: IT managers no longer need to spend time and resources performing intrusive scans and continuous signature updating, patching, and reimaging. They can also manage every aspect of their endpoint protection through a single web-based console that is accessible from anywhere.
