Difference between antivirus and Watchguard end point
Antivirus and watch guard endpoint security are two different forms of protection for your
Explanation of Categories
1.
Basic Firewall (SPI)
o
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI):
Monitors incoming and outgoing packets to ensure they match an established
connection. Basic protection against unauthorized access.
2.
Intermediate Firewall (SPI/DPI, IDS/IPS, VLAN,
Bandwidth Management, VPN)
o
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI): Examines
the data part (and possibly the header) of a packet as it passes an inspection
point.
o
Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems
(IDS/IPS): Detects and prevents potential threats.
o
Virtual LAN (VLAN): Segments network
traffic to improve security and performance.
o
Bandwidth Management: Controls the
traffic flow to ensure optimal performance.
o
Virtual Private Network (VPN): Secures
remote access to the network.
3.
Advanced Firewall (UTM, APT Blocker)
o
Unified Threat Management (UTM):
Integrates multiple security features into a single device.
o
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Blocker:
Detects and blocks sophisticated, long-term threats.
4.
Basic Endpoint Protection
o
Basic antivirus, Basic anti-malware, and
firewall protection for individual devices.
5.
Advanced Endpoint Protection.
o
Offers comprehensive protection including
advanced threat detection, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and more
sophisticated security features.
Categorizing Threats
1.
Malware: Includes viruses, worms,
trojans, and spyware. Basic firewalls offer limited protection, while advanced
solutions provide comprehensive defence.
2.
Ransomware: Encrypts data and demands
payment for decryption. Advanced firewalls and endpoint protection are crucial.
3.
Phishing: Attempts to steal sensitive
information through deceptive emails or websites. Advanced solutions can detect
and block phishing attempts.
4.
Denial-of-Service (DoS): Overloads
systems to disrupt services. Intermediate and advanced firewalls can mitigate
these attacks.
5.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs):
Long-term, targeted attacks. Advanced firewalls and endpoint protection are
essential.
6.
Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to
sensitive data. High-level protection is needed across all security layers.
7.
Insider Threats: Threats from within the
organization. Advanced monitoring and detection systems are necessary.
8.
Social Engineering: Manipulates
individuals into divulging confidential information. Comprehensive training and
advanced security measures help mitigate these threats.
9.
Zero-Day Exploits: Attacks on previously
unknown vulnerabilities. Advanced detection and response systems are crucial.
10. Spyware/Adware:
Collects information without consent. Advanced endpoint protection is
effective.
11. Man-in-the-Middle
Attacks: Intercepts communication between two parties. Intermediate and
advanced firewalls provide protection.
12. IoT-Based
Attacks: Targets Internet of Things devices(Tv’s/Printers other devices on
the network). Advanced security measures are required.
