To seek answers to the above question, let's understand what is the difference between antivirus and anti-malware software.

• ● Antivirus software is designed to detect and remove viruses. Anti malware is a software that safeguards the systems from all sorts of viruses and malware. Besides viruses, some of the known malwares are Adware, Trojans, worms, Bots, Ransomware and adware.
• ● While both of them are designed to protect from all kinds of malicious software, antivirus software is designed to protect against known threats while anti malware software protects known and unknown malicious software. Anti malware software is also designed to protect against newer and more complex threats.
• ● Antivirus is to protect hardware, laptops, mobiles from getting infected while Anti malware software provides protection against newer and more advanced threats.

From the above, it is prudent for a business to implement an anti-malware program as newer and sophisticated attacks need to be prevented. A anti-malware program gives protection from viruses, existing malwares and new malwares.

Fraudsters are continuously producing complex viruses and malwares with the intention to steal confidential data, explore ways to penetrate bank accounts, spoof emails to defraud businesses, probe networks and communications, seek free ports to enter networks etc. Businesses can prevent their business crippling attacks by installing Endpoint devices products like COMODO. Endpoint device management (EDM) products have different features like default denial, container, AI technologies built in with the products. In today’s digital world, having a resilient cyber security framework is not optional. EDMs are part of the cyber security framework which protects businesses from cyber attacks and thefts.
