In the current threat landscape, depending exclusively on basic antivirus software leaves your business vulnerable. Although traditional antivirus solutions can identify known viruses and malware, they are unable to keep pace with the complex and continually evolving attacks that businesses encounter today.

The Limitations of Basic Antivirus

Basic antivirus software is designed to handle standard threats by scanning for known malware signatures. However, modern cyber attacks are more complex and can bypass these conventional defences. Here are some common limitations:

• Limited Protection – Detects and removes known viruses but struggles with advanced threats like ransomware and zero-day attacks.
• No Real-Time Monitoring – Scans periodically but does not provide continuous protection against emerging threats.
• Reactive Approach – Relies on virus signature updates, meaning new threats may not be detected immediately.
• No Threat Response – Identifies threats but does not actively mitigate or contain attacks.
• No Proactive Patching – Does not help with software and system updates to close security gaps.
• No Endpoint Management – Lacks oversight for all devices in a business network, leaving security gaps.
• No Backup & Recovery – Does not include data backup, leaving businesses vulnerable to data loss from ransomware, hardware failure, or accidental deletion.
• User Responsibility – Relies on users to manage updates, scans, and responses to security alerts.
