EndPoint Detection and Response (EDR) necessary to prevent cyber threats

Traditional antivirus protection, which is usually classified as an EndPoint Protection Platform (EPP) tool, is not considered capable of dealing with many of the modern-day cyber security threats. The reasons for this include; the sophistication of modern cyber attacks which are no longer simply transmissions of malware; the multi-faceted attacks methods used today; involvement of human interactions; and the substantial growth in the number of attacks. There is also the threat to the privacy of individuals being compromised when data gets stolen, as well as the theft of intellectual property from organisations which also suffer from the potential disruption of their functionality and operations to the point of some going into bankruptcy due to the financial losses caused.

F-Secure Cloud Protection for Salesforce

F-Secure Cloud Protection for Salesforce is a cloud-based security solution designed to complement the native security capabilities of the Salesforce platforms. It provides dedicated security components that mitigate the risks posed by files and URLs uploaded by users, without hindering the use of Salesforce. The solution also provides rich reporting, advanced security analytics and full audit trails, ensuring that incident response is fast and efficient. Salesforce uses HTTPS encryption in all their communications, which means solutions using proxies, like traditional Cloud access security brokers (CASBs), would have to break the encryption midway, making the system less secure and much more prone to vulnerabilities. F-Secure Cloud Protection for Salesforce supports most of Salesforce Clouds, including but not limited to: Sales Cloud, Community Cloud and Service Cloud. It also supports the following Salesforce editions: Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited and Developer utilizes cloud-to-cloud architecture, so there is no need to deploy or maintain middleware like proxies, or to implement additional network configurations. Together with the streamlined AppExchange deployment process. The deployment takes only a few minutes, eliminating the need for expensive, time-intensive IT work.
