Deep Instinct vs. Symantec Endpoint Security

Solves for the future with an AI (Artificial Intelligence) solution natively built on a proprietary deep learning cybersecurity framework specifically developed to prevent today’s complex unknown threats prior to their execution - not after.

The future of cybersecurity lies in prevention and requires a novel approach to get in front of advanced attacks before they execute. The result is your entire security stack and team will operate more effectively and efficiently – ultimately benefiting the business.

Is self-learning — which means our brain gets smarter over time (without any human intervention) to catch threats that have never been seen in the wild.

With demand for skilled security professionals at an all-time high, precious resources should not be wasted on time-consuming daily, weekly or monthly updates to maintain the level of prevention your organization needs.

Provides both speed and high efficacy. By examining the entire contents of a file Deep Instinct prevents >99% of known, unknown, zero-day, and ransomware threats in <20ms.

A dependance on the cloud delays decisions and provides bad actors with time to begin executing their attack. When it comes to preventing threats, every millisecond counts.

Because Deep Instinct makes decisions on the endpoint and not in the cloud it provides protection both online and offline.

If your systems go down, attackers could take advantage. You need to ensure your environment is fully protected 24x7x365.

Does not need to know about the threat previously to prevent it – making it extremely effective for both known and never-before-seen attacks. Deep Instinct will prevent >99% of attacks in <20ms.

Reliance on signatures i.e., “known good” and whitelisting does not protect against new malware variants. When looking at comparative tests, organizations need to be aware of what is being tested and evaluate based on previously unknown threat samples.

Intuitively understands if a file contains malicious content, including new malware and ransomware variants, and others like potentially unwanted applications (PUA), to prevent unknown threats prior to their execution on the endpoint.

Threat actors are continually inventing new ways to infiltrate your environment. For example, sandbox-aware malware bypasses legacy controls by not detonating its payload while inside. Exploits must be prevented from the outset, not detected days later after the threat actors are already inside your environment.

Understands the true DNA of attacks. Deep Instinct has trained our neural networks to identify and prevent advanced, sophisticated attacks including newer adversarial AI attacks, faster and more accurately.

Advanced attacks like PowerShell, living-off-the-land, privilege escalation, and lateral movement are costing organizations both monetary and people resources as well as damaging reputations. The ability to prevent fileless attacks is key to gaining control back from the attackers.

Single, lightweight agent and simple licensing.

Complex processes and technology increase the time your organization must invest to achieve better outcomes.

Offers the lowest false positive rate (<0.1%) in the industry — backed by a Munich Re underwritten warranty — resulting in increased operational efficiency.

Lowering false positive alerts improves your SOC team’s efficiency (even reducing FTE requirements), enabling them to focus on legitimate threats and not just noise.

Exceptional attention is paid to our customers' satisfaction. We view our customers as partners and conduct dedicated quarterly reviews ensure maximum success and product value.

How you are supported is extremely important to the success of your security program. You can’t afford to wait days or weeks for an answer to a critical problem.
