\r\n <\/div>\r\n Sophos Home Premium<\/p>\r\n READ MORE<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n They\u2019re a bit of both, Gen X and Millennial all in one. The plight of the Xennial is significant because it shows that we\u2019re all living in a digital world<\/strong>, but we don\u2019t all know what we\u2019re doing in that digital world. Even millennials, who are considered to be digital natives, still need to learn the rules of the digital world they\u2019re born into, and Gen Xers have to come to terms with the new world that has sprung up around them. It is a jungle out there.<\/p>\n Every day takes all of us deeper into this digital world that we all now inhabit, but it is a digital world, much like the analog one that came before it,\u00a0filled with ever-evolving threats and risks<\/strong>. The main difference is that we\u2019re all dealing with threats from across the globe rather than just from our neighborhood. Whether it is you, your little eight-year-old son or your 88-year-old mother who is online doesn\u2019t matter<\/strong>. You\u2019re all exposed to the same malicious actors who are continually coming up with new and elaborate ways to take what is yours. Ransomware, adware, identity theft, phishing scams<\/strong>… the list goes on.<\/p>\n As the list gets longer and types of threat vary, it becomes harder and harder for the programs you enlist to protect you to keep up. It is no longer enough for antivirus programs to simply scan your computer and then check the findings against a database of known threats and malicious code<\/strong>. This type of action is still useful, but it needs to be the baseline, the bare minimum upon which stronger and more effective methods of detection can be built. Sophos<\/a> understands this perfectly and has developed some digital techniques<\/strong> and processes that allow it to offer comprehensive real-time protection of all the computers it is tasked to protect.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sophos is not new to antivirus and security<\/strong>. Traditionally concentrating on enterprise-level security and managing antivirus and malware protection across entire networks, sometimes connecting thousands of PCs, Sophos has been protecting businesses for decades<\/strong>. This experience means that when it comes to the nuts and bolts of signature-based antivirus, matching detections against databases of known threats, Sophos has extensive records filled with years\u2019 worth of detections to check<\/strong>. Signature-based antivirus is not enough anymore, however. It is like an analog solution in a digital world, but Sophos knows this.<\/p>\n The fact is that not all digital threats these days are simple viruses or malware<\/strong>. Ransomware can encrypt your data, phishing sites can look exactly like reputable sites, keyloggers can send your passwords to nefarious third parties, and even your webcams and microphones aren\u2019t safe and could be spying on you right now. The point is, detecting a malicious piece of code and then taking action might not be enough<\/strong>, and it might be too late. Sophos\u2019 answer to the modern problems of this digital age is protocol behavioral analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sophos Home Premium<\/p>\r\n READ MORE<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n Protocol behavioral analysis looks at how a file is behaving<\/strong>. Sophos then acts accordingly based on how it is behaving. If, for example, ransomware strikes Sophos will understand<\/strong> that it is trying to encrypt the user\u2019s data so that it can be held for ransom. This understanding allows Sophos to prevent the encryption and backup the targeted data<\/strong> to ensure none of it is lost to the encryption. Other times behavioral analysis will have the edge over analog signature-based antivirus is with PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). PUAs could be anything you don\u2019t want on your PC, but at the moment fashionable PUAs are crypto-miners that hijack a PCs resources and uses them to mine bitcoins for some malicious actor. Sophos\u2019 behavioral analysis can spot a file acting like a crypto-miner and then move to block it from working<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Although Sophos has been protecting businesses for years, Sophos also offers Sophos Home Premium<\/a> allowing<\/strong> personal users to bring enterprise-level protection into their home<\/strong>.
