With 550,000 new malware samples being discovered every day, closing the security gaps that enable these cyberthreats to access systems should be a priority for organizations. 80% of attacks exploit a vulnerability that was reported at least three years ago. Many software exploits manipulate memory in sophisticated ways, making them difficult to detect if you rely on average cybersecurity solutions. Effectively detecting exploits requires deep system knowledge and constant monitoring of all applications. Advanced, next-generation cyber protection solutions that include exploit prevention capabilities are needed.
