AppGuard and Microsoft
AppGuard and Microsoft: Better Together For organisations looking to optimise their Microsoft environment to provide greater protections against today’s most sophisticated threats that bypass traditional anti-virus tools, and wish to reduce alert fatigue impacting…
Microsoft provides a broad range of security protection and detection capabilities that protect endpoints from a wide spectrum of threats. The company’s anti-virus, Microsoft Defender, included free in every version of Windows, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoints, a full-blown Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), are widely deployed. But, even the best threat identification technologies (e.g. NGAV and EDR) cannot find and stop fast-striking, well obfuscated, or new malware, leaving a dangerous time gap.
AppGuard is a critical element in the cyber stack because its malware disruption techniques stop malware from causing harm, buying NGAV and EDR technologies the time they need to identify the danger. AppGuard’s policy controls reduce the attack surface and minimize the number of actions and pathways that malware can use to achieve its goals, reducing the overall risk of compromise. Providing protection even before a threat is identifiable, AppGuard allows detection technology tools to operate more accurately and efficiently since there is less risky activity to monitor. Adding AppGuard to your cyber defense strategy allows you to optimize the power of Microsoft’s AV and EDR, while ensuring greater protection with less effort.
