Malware Detection & Protection Services

What is Malware Protection?

Malware protection is a collection of tools and techniques designed to prevent malicious software like viruses and ransomware entering the network and infecting assets. These tools also assist with detecting, containing and removing successful infections to minimise their overall effect on business operations.

The antimalware service from BlueFort operates at several levels throughout your infrastructure to maximise identification opportunities. Positioned at the network perimeter, servers and endpoint PCs, these tools can spot, block and remove virus, trojan and ransomware infections within seconds, to limit potential damage.

How our Malware Protection Service Works

Malware detection typically operates at the network perimeter and on each endpoint to identify and block malicious software before it can spread or begin exfiltrating data. Agents installed on servers and PCs monitor local activity for both known and unknown infections using virus signature pattern-matching and system behaviour analysis.

Inbound email scanning is also effective at identifying and blocking infected attachments before they arrive in the end user’s mailbox.

Advanced malware protection analyses network activity for suspicious behaviour that may indicate a virus infection. As well as attempting to disinfect malware automatically, these tools will alert the IT security team to raise awareness of the incursion, allowing them to plan and execute any follow-up activities as required.

BlueFort also makes use of advanced malware protection technologies like Cloud Access Security Broker (CASM) to analyse activity and traffic on premise and in the cloud for anomalous behaviours that indicate security issues.

BlueFort can also provide support and advice following a malware attack, helping you to complete remedial work. We’ll also show you how to learn from a breach, using those insights to strengthen defences and processes to minimise the risk of future malware attacks.
