hen you consider the number of headlines
that appear on a regular basis about
major data breaches – despite ongoing
increases in security technology spending by
organisations – you have to come to the conclusion
that something isn’t working.
The fact is, the traditional ways of protecting IT
assets are no longer effective in today’s increasingly
complex threat environment. Many vendors tout
the idea that having a collection of disparate
technologies will provide better protection because
each technology will stop some threats. But these
products don’t scale and they provide ever weakening
protection. Even using several of these traditional
products is not sufficient for identifying and stopping
the latest malware attacks.
Part of the problem with deploying more and more
security technologies is that it costs far more money
in resources and infrastructure, including servers,
bandwidth, appliances, etc. Furthermore, many
of these products negatively impact system and
application performance, which can lead to decreased
productivity among end-users and the organisation as
a whole. Older security tools can cost organisations far
more time and money than they ever realised.

It’s time for a new approach to security that addresses
all the shortcomings of the old methods. Organisations
today can deploy security solutions that are based
on newer Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
capabilities. These advanced methods are designed
to stop the latest attacks without hurting performance
and driving up costs. This white paper describes some
of the main disadvantages of traditional endpoint
security methods and explores how organisations
of all sizes and in any industry can take advantage
of advances in security technologies to protect their
systems and data against threats in the most cost-
effective way possible.
Traditional Security Hurts Performance,
Drives Up Costs
Among the biggest drawbacks of traditional security
solutions is that they are a drain on performance as
well as a source of added costs.
With traditional security tools, companies need to
maintain huge databases of signatures of known
malware or approved applications. They also must
constantly deploy additional hardware and software,
with minimal if any integration; download new file
signatures in order to keep signatures databases
