“Conventional antivirus software is an outmoded way of protecting computers

against malware.”

The perception of endpoint security

“The current anti-virus method of detecting and blocking known samples is

no longer effective.”

“Antivirus software is now so ineffective at detecting new malware threats most enterprises are probably wasting their

money buying it.”
