Faced with this threat landscape, Cylance proposes a completely disruptive technological approach. Unlike traditional antivirus solutions that rely on signatures, behavior-based prevention systems, host-based intrusion detection systems, or sandboxing solutions, Cylance applies artificial intelligence and machine learning, enabling it to define the essential attributes of each file. The result is an agent containing a mathematical model that can determine when a file is malicious, stopping it before execution.
In this way, CylancePROTECT works in pre-execution, analyzing the code's DNA to detect and prevent threats that others cannot. It is a simple and extremely lightweight agent that offers complete protection against system- and memory-based attacks, spear phishing, zero-day threats, privilege escalation, scripts, malware, and potentially unwanted programs. All this with very few false positives, significantly lower operating and management costs than other technologies, and without requiring an internet connection.
As Jose Carlos Jimeno, Channel Director at Lidera Network, states, “The addition of Cylance to our security product portfolio is very exciting for us. Cylance is redefining endpoint protection with its revolutionary AI-powered approach to threat detection. Organizations are vulnerable to the ever-emerging cyberattacks, so they need agile and effective security to counter them, and Cylance is the answer. We are confident that its technology will play a significant role in the future of security and the fight against cybercrime. With Lidera Network’s expertise and Cylance’s technology, we have a strong partnership that provides our customers with the highest levels of security across all endpoints.”.
