Translated from 日本語 • View original Why do I have it on my PC but not on my server?
Hello. This is Iwakiri from the ISAO Security Project.
When I work in security, I notice that many servers don't have security products.
Why do you always put security products on your PC, but not on your server? I guess it's because people think it's "expensive" and "uncomfortable to set up".
It is true that some products are expensive, but Deep Security is a relatively inexpensive security product that can be easily deployed.
Deep Security is a hosted product provided by Trend Micro. People often ask, "What is the difference between a virus buster and a virus buster?", but Deep Security is similar to or different from a virus buster.
As many of you may know, VirusBuster is an anti-virus software (software that finds and eliminates viruses) made by Trend Micro.
Deep Security has the same features as VirusBuster, but it has many other features. Broadly classified, it has the following six functions.
- Web reputation
- Intrusion Prevention
- Fraud Countermeasures
- Change monitoring
- Security log monitoring
- Firewall
The "anti-malware program" in this is the same function as Virus Buster. (In the industry, viruses are often referred to as malware, so they are also called "anti-malware.") ）
What are the features other than anti-malware? Before that, let's briefly explain why anti-malware alone is not enough.
Only a small percentage of threats can be found in anti-malware!
It is not well known, but it is said that 5-60% of all malware (viruses) found in "anti-malware" (there are various theories).
This means that about 40% of malware lurks on computers without being detected.
Why are there so many...? The logic (pattern files) that detects malware is advancing day by day, but new malware is being created more and more, so it is difficult to find it.
Malware is not the only cyberattack!
Malware is only a small part of the overall cyberattack. Web servers that are exposed on the Internet are often attacked by other means.
Protect your server from various cyberattacks.
That's Deep Security. So, what other cyberattacks are there besides malware, and how does Deep Security protect against them? I will explain it next time.
To be continued...
If you want to set up and operate Deep Security, you can do it!
