CYLANCE ANTIVIRUS NEVER DETECTS ANYTHING PLUS

Neil states, “you can argue that security layers like ransomware mitigation, spyware protection, and the bank transaction protection found in Bitdefender Antivirus Plus and Kaspersky are irrelevant if the antivirus successfully eliminates all malware.” Yes indeed, that’s exactly what we believe and is what our product is engineered to accomplish. It is no surprise competitors have added all the additional layers of detection and response, because signature-based antivirus has struggled to keep up with the avalanche of threats the world sees today. This worked years ago in a world where a handful of new viruses and variants emerged every month - but today, with so many new malware variants released daily, all or any of which can be deployed globally in seconds – keeping up has become an impossible challenge. Pure signature-based technology often misses never-before-seen threats until a sample is found, a signature to block it is developed, and updates have gone out to customers. They did not need to wait until their signatures were updated to be protected. What this meant to Cylance’s Enterprise customers was that when those threats were released by the bad guys, our customers were already protected. This was validated in a recent SE labs report on our Enterprise product which showed that Cylance had deployed malware conviction models that could detect today’s threats as long as almost two years before the malware was even created.

That’s the beauty of artificial intelligence-based security: it is designed to distinguish good files from malicious software - even malicious software it has never seen before. We believe that our Artificial Intelligence technology, which uses powerful algorithms similar to our enterprise product, makes many of the additional system-slowing features in other products redundant and unnecessary. Our approach to threat protection is deliberate and by design. Artificial Intelligence Provides a Better Way We designed Cylance Smart Antivirus to offer advanced protection with little system performance impact.īeing “only an antivirus” might be perceived as a shortcoming when compared to products with all the additional layers of protection, until you look under the hood at what makes us different - very different.

It’s no surprise that “it slows my system down” is a common refrain, and that traditional antivirus is seen by many as a tolerated and necessary evil.

More technologies often means these products will use more system resources of the computer which could result in users noticing a difference in how fast their Mac or PC performs. These additional technologies have been added to increase the chances of detecting threats when signatures fail, but it may come at a steep price to the user. The signature approach operates on the premise that someone needs to get infected for everyone else to be protected.Īs Neil points out, “heuristic detection, behavioral analysis, sandboxing, and many other advanced features go into most modern antivirus programs.” That’s very true. Second, the exponential growth in threats over the decades have overwhelmed antivirus products that rely on signatures. This stems from two issues: first, the legacy of retail marketing where vendors try to demonstrate “more value” than competitors on the back of their boxes to win sales in the brick-and-mortar store aisle. Traditional antivirus vendors have been in an ongoing competition to see who can add the most checkboxes to a laundry list of features since the beginning of the industry. It can be argued that Cylance Smart Antivirus is “only an antivirus” without all the fancy add-ons some consumers have come to expect, but we see this as our core strength. Neil rightfully notes that it’s difficult to compare us to traditional antivirus in testing because of our fundamentally different approach to protecting consumers, so we want to take this opportunity to offer some details behind the distinctions. Being the newest kids on the block, we’re thrilled and honored to get a good review from Neil Rubenking at PCMag shortly after the debut of Cylance Smart Antivirus for consumers.
