How to choose the best network security software

Businesses have never relied so much on computers and cloud services especially in today’s pandemic era. Since most jobs are performed online or via electronic devices, you would want to ensure everything works flawlessly. However, having the most basic computers or laptops isn’t enough; your business performance requires a robust IT network security system to stop any potential damage that could harm the business. That means investing in the best business antivirus for servers possible.

Fret not!

V3 Network & Data Security Expert will help you to better understand how to choose the best IT network security software solutions for your enterprise.

What are the three crucial layers of protection?

Any good business server antivirus product will offer three layers of protection – file, network, and application. These combine to build a robust layer of security across all your machines.

Firstly, a decent antivirus product will use an extensive and frequently-updated database of known threats to scan and remove malicious files in real-time.

It's crucial to ensure that your security product scans files, folders, email attachments, and documents because all can contain malware. V3 Network & Data Security Expert’s V3 Endpoint Security 9.0 contains anti-malware software which support real-time scan, advanced scan, as well as scheduled scan. It can scan Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP), compressed files, USB Drives and shared folders.

Besides, most futuristic products use AI, machine learning and crowd-sourced data to find emerging threats.

Those advanced technologies will protect your systems from unknown issues that could later become a bigger deal. Speaking of which, V3 Network & Data Security Expert’s antivirus endpoint solution provides powerful detection by identifying and blocking malware through Multidimensional Analysis Platform, and it delivers proactive defence against new malware and variants through media control for removable media including CD, USB, and Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Secondly, network protection is critical because malware can easily spread across the connected systems in your company.

While a robust DNS filter can block harmful content and dodgy websites from your PCs and devices, V3 Network & Data Security Expert’s antivirus endpoint solution can monitor and block unknown protocol drives, abnormal traffic, and IP/MAC/ARP spoofing.

Thirdly, the extra level of protection ensures that your applications and operating systems are secure.

Host intrusion prevention technology is essential to prevent unwanted access, and active process protection constantly monitors your software. Having said that, V3 Network & Data Security Expert’s antivirus endpoint solution provides a behaviour-based network to prevent intrusion. It provides an active defence by checking the running processes, recently created files, and program activities, as well as managing allowed and blocked process list

Have you ever considered the additional features?

It’s essential to consider the other features that can provide your business with a broad swathe of protection.

You will need to find a server antivirus product that won't take up too many of your system's resources, and V3 Network & Data Security Expert’s antivirus endpoint solution enables minimal memory usage with engine optimization technology because it employs AhnLab's lightweight TS Prime engine and cloud-based ASD engine.

It must run well without slowing your device. With antivirus software running in your computer's background all the time, it must perform efficiently. Effective products are capable of scanning during a variety of tasks including file copying, archiving and unarchiving, installing or uninstalling applications, launching applications, downloading files, and browsing websites. Pick software with features that are tailored to the type of computing you're most commonly doing.

Furthermore, always be sure that you can easily use and navigate the antivirus software you choose to install. V3 Network & Data Security Expert’s antivirus endpoint solution enables prompt security status check and response through user-friendly interface and supports System Optimization feature with just a single tap.

If you want additional bells and whistles from high-performing software, V3 Network & Data Security Expert offers several advanced cyber security technology, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) is one of the features. VPN can give you a secure, encrypted internet “tunnel.” This allows you to safely and anonymously browse the internet — even on public Wi-Fi.

What is the type of your business?

If you have a small business with a relatively simple IT infrastructure, then you should consider purchasing a security product with multiple licences – you'll be able to install and manage your business antivirus software on each device separately.

This approach, however, will not work for larger organisations with more complex technical infrastructures. If you find yourself in that situation, you should consider a centralised security product with cloud-based management features. This enables you or your IT staff to manage your security systems from a single control panel, making it easier to address security issues across dozens of machines. It is also a great way to issue updates and settings changed across loads of devices simultaneously.

If you are going to need a more complex solution, do ensure that you've got the IT staff with the experience and knowledge to handle the package – it's no good paying top-dollar for a powerful product if no one knows how to use it properly.

What is the price to pay?

Last but not least, it's time to think about money. Not all business antivirus products are created equally, and not all of them will offer excellent value for your organisation.

Business antivirus products are typically available for a one-time fee or as a monthly or annual subscription. You should expect to pay more for packages with a broader range of features, and prices will also increase depending on how many devices you need to protect with the product.

Economies of scale can improve value for money by receiving discounts if you buy packages for more devices or for several years.

Ensure that the company provides an appropriate level of support by equipping yourself or your IT staff with the necessary IT skills. You'll have to consider chat, email and phone support, and whether there are extra costs associated with those increased supports.

Clarify if the package complies with any industry or government regulations that your business needs to comply with and check the terms and conditions to ensure you're getting an appropriate level of privacy.

And, V3 Network & Data Security Expert’s endpoint security solution products can increase cost-effectiveness by providing most of the necessary and effective IT cyber security features at a reasonable price.
