Malware Protection FAQ

Why does my company need Malware Protection?
Malware Protection ensures employees aren’t ambushed online by monitoring for potential attacks. The web offers a unique challenge for company security as it provides a vital source of resources and information that employees need. At the same time it presents multiple vectors for malicious activity such as ad-based malware, cryptomining, ransomware, phishing, and more. 

Perimeter 81’s Malware Protection serves as an additional layer of defense on top of your existing endpoint protection. Multiple checks for malware means threat actors don’t have a chance to disrupt your company’s productivity.
How does Malware Protection work?
Malware Protection runs seamlessly in the background even when users are disconnected from the corporate network. The feature scans web traffic and files for malicious content. Dangerous sites or files are blocked, and the end-user will see a message notifying them of the blocked page or download.
