If you run a micro or small company, it is very likely that your office computers have installed a free antivirus or that basic version that already comes with the operating system. After all, if it's for the computer at home, why shouldn't it be for business?
The short answer is: hackers don't attack your home the same way they attack your company.
Today, threats have evolved. The data theft and the Ransomware (viruses that block company files and require a cash ransom) are designed to bypass common defenses. This is where the Bitdefender EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), the centralized security technology we include in the NetVigia plans.
Let us explain to you, without complicated technical terms, why this change is vital to the survival of your business.
|1. Traditional Antivirus Play "The Game of the Past"
A conventional antivirus works as a detective who has a list of photographs of known criminals. If a file enters the computer and is on that list (called signature database), it is blocked.
The problem: Modern attacks create new viruses every day. If a hacker modifies a single line of code, the virus gets a "new face" and the common antivirus lets it pass because it doesn't recognize it.
|2. Bitdefender EDR Analyzes Behavior
The new generation Bitdefender does not just look at the "face" of the file; it watches what the file does.
If a Word document opens and suddenly starts trying to change and lock 50 files in a second, Bitdefender immediately realizes that this behavior is malicious. It blocks the process on time, even if that virus was created five minutes ago and nobody in the world knows it yet.
|3. Network Insulation: Virus Does Not Spread
In an office network, if a computer is infected with a normal antivirus, the virus uses the internal network to infect the server and the computers next door in a few minutes.
With the EDR system managed by NetVigia, once Bitdefender detects suspicious activity on a machine, it digitally isolates this network computer. The affected employee is temporarily stopped, but the rest of the company, the server and billing continue to function in complete security.
|4. Centralized Management (We Will Watch for You)
When a free antivirus detects a problem, a window appears on the employee screen saying: "A threat detected. What do you want to do?". Often, by haste or ignorance, the user clicks on "Ignore" or "Allow".
In the NetVigia model, all Bitdefender alerts are sent in real time to our central panel. Our technical team receives the warning instantly and handles the mitigation remotely, without your employee having to make critical security decisions.
| Conclusion: Security is not a Cost, it is a Safeguard
Depending on home security to protect your customers' data and your company's invoices is too high a risk. Bitdefender, integrated into NetVigia's continuous monitoring, ensures that your company has robust and professionally guarded digital armor.
