En el vertiginoso mundo empresarial actual, proteger los datos de la empresa es fundamental. Este blog analiza las diferencias entre el software antivirus tradicional y SentinelOne, destacando las ventajas estratégicas de adoptar soluciones avanzadas de ciberseguridad para las empresas.

Detection Technology:

Traditional antivirus relies on databases of known signatures, which limits their effectiveness against new threats. On the other hand, SentinelOne uses artificial intelligence to detect and neutralize attacks in real time.

  • 74% of cyberattacks involve malware not recorded in traditional antivirus databases.
  • SentinelOne reports a 98% success rate in preventing zero-day attacks.
  • Problem: Traditional antivirus cannot detect new or evolving threats.
  • Solution: SentinelOne’s AI analyzes behaviors to identify and stop unknown threats.
  • Signature-Based Analysis: Matching threats to known patterns in a database.
  • Artificial Intelligence: Using algorithms to detect suspicious behavior and anomalies.

Response Capability:

Traditional antivirus tools typically require manual intervention to remove threats after detection. SentinelOne, on the other hand, autonomously isolates and eliminates threats, minimizing operational disruptions.

Companies report up to a 50% decrease in downtime by switching to autonomous solutions like SentinelOne.

  • Problem: Slow response times with traditional antivirus expose businesses to greater risks.
  • Solution: SentinelOne acts in less than 20 seconds, containing and resolving threats automatically.
  • Reactive: Responding only after an issue occurs.
  • Autonomous Protection: Systems that act independently to neutralize threats.

Coverage:

While traditional antivirus programs protect individual devices, SentinelOne provides comprehensive, multi-layered security, including ransomware and exploit protection, across your entire IT infrastructure.

  • Ransomware attacks have increased by 62% over the past year.
  • SentinelOne prevents 98% of targeted exploit attempts.
  • Problem: Limited protection of traditional antivirus against modern threats like ransomware.
  • Solution: SentinelOne offers holistic security, covering endpoints, networks, and servers.
  • Endpoints: Devices that connect to a corporate network, like laptops and servers.
  • Multi-Layer Protection: Using multiple security measures to address different threat vectors.

System Impact:

Traditional antivirus programs often slow down devices due to constant background scanning. SentinelOne, optimized for modern systems, ensures protection without compromising performance.

41% of employees report reduced productivity due to slow systems caused by heavy antivirus programs.

  • Problem: Traditional antivirus often reduces system speed.
  • Solution: SentinelOne’s lightweight architecture ensures smooth operations.
  • Background Scanning: Continuous checks for malware, which can drain system resources.
  • Optimized Efficiency: Balancing security with performance for seamless operations.

Traditional antivirus relies on signature-based detection, requiring frequent updates to recognize threats. SentinelOne, however, uses artificial intelligence to analyze and respond to threats in real time, making it more effective against modern and unknown threats.

Yes, SentinelOne is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructures, including various operating systems, cloud platforms, and network environments, ensuring a smooth transition.

Absolutely. SentinelOne identifies threats based on behavior patterns and AI analysis, allowing it to detect zero-day threats and sophisticated attacks that may bypass traditional antivirus solutions.

Yes, SentinelOne offers scalable solutions tailored to businesses of all sizes. Its advanced automation and centralized management make it an excellent choice even for SMBs with limited IT resources.

SentinelOne extends its protection to IoT devices by monitoring their activity, detecting suspicious behaviors, and preventing potential breaches, offering full visibility and control over the entire network.

SentinelOne uses automated workflows to detect, isolate, and remediate threats in seconds, significantly reducing the time required to respond to incidents compared to manual processes in traditional antivirus solutions.
