Background
Legacy antivirus catches known viruses by signature. Modern threats bypass that.
Questions to ask yourself
- What antivirus or EDR are we running, and on what?
- Is it on every device that accesses company data?
- Who reads the alerts?
- Are we paying for it twice?
- Is it set up properly, or just installed?
What you can do today
Don't pay twice; do watch the alerts
Three actions.
- 01If you have M365 Business Premium, you already have Defender for Business. Cancel duplicate antivirus.
- 02Make sure protection is on every device, including home / BYOD.
- 03Either have your IT supplier read the alerts, or set them to email a named person.
