Webroot makes your life easier

Dear Tiodor,

I hope you're having a great day! I am very happy to know that you are interested in how Webroot can help you manage your IT-security, and I am of course more than happy to provide you with all the additional information that you need!

Webroot offers cloud-based security which is unique in design, making it uniquely effective in combating malware and unique in the ease of management it allows. All unknown files that enter your system are quarantained and monitored, which allows for the greatest possible malware protection and provides you with the possibility to easily rollback any changes these files make to your system, keeping you extremely safe. And because everything is managed via a web based console, you can manage your security from anywhere.

The advantages of Webroot's approach to Security:

§ Best Protection against Known and Unknown Malware -

ü Real-time behavioral protection minimizes the risk of infection.

ü First AV product to score 100% in PCMAG's malware tests (October 2011)

§ Extremely Easy and Fast to Deploy -

ü Market's smallest* endpoint agent <700KB.

ü Typically takes <6 seconds to install.

§ Doesn't Slow Endpoints Down, Improves User Productivity -

ü Initial scan takes ~2-3 minutes, subsequent scans <2minutes.

ü Independent PassMark Software testing (February 2012) scores Webroot SecureAnywhere – Endpoint

Protection 78 (97.5%) out of 80 (100%), closest competitor scores only 55 (68.7%)!

§ Always Up-to-Date and Protected -

ü No large daily update files required that steal network bandwidth.

ü No chance of off-network users needing an update.

§ More Cost-Effective than Alternatives -

ü Centralized web-based management console with fully remote management and high automation of

security and reporting; post set-up management virtually zero.

ü Lower operational costs, as no on-premise hardware and software needed.

§ Application and Process Monitoring Controls -

ü White and black listing of applications and system processes.

ü Granular visibility of users' endpoint applications helps avoid FAST software liabilities/fines.

§ Offline Protection -

ü Offline capabilities are stronger than most conventional antivirus products are capable of providing

with threat interception policies targeting the local disk, USB, and CD / DVD drives all adjustable based

on risk tolerance.

§ Intelligent Outbound Firewall Management –

ü Manage and monitor the native Windows® Firewall's outbound traffic to protect against 'phone-home'

or other connections from infected endpoints.

ü Minimizes user pop-up requests as block/allow determined by policy or Webroot Intelligence Network.

§ System Clean-up Tools-

ü System clean-up improves PC performance by clearing browser history, internet cache, form fill data,

temp folders, and other old data that slows PC performance.

§ Traditional/Virtual Server Support-

ü Supports PC endpoints and numerous server and virtual server environments

§ Identity and Privacy Shield-

ü The Identity and Privacy Shield protects user from identity theft, keyloggers and other data theft

tactics when using their browser.

§ Journaling and Rollback –

ü Journaling and rollback allows endpoints to be returned to the 'last good known state' before malicious

file(s) were introduced, removing re-imaging and re-builds normally needed after malware has

changed, replaced and removed necessary system files.

Summary – Webroot SecureAnywhere – Endpoint Protection provides organizatons with the lightest, fastest, and most effective endpoint security solution on the market. It's easy to deploy, install, and manage - as it doesn't conflict with any other endpoint software - including other security solutions. It also a highly cost-effective, as its next generation architecture removes the operational, support and on-going management costs of separate management console and definition update hardware and software that every other traditional AV solution needs.
