GoSecure Next-Gen Antivirus vs Symantec Web Isolation comparison

Next-generation antivirus or traditional AV? Unfortunately, many organizations find themselves making an either/or decision – purchase traditional AV or NGAV, but not both. With GoSecure Next-Gen Antivirus, you get the best of both worlds, plus management from the industry-leading GoSecure Advanced Response Center.

GoSecure Next-Gen Antivirus (NGAV) offers a compelling selection of capabilities, far beyond traditional AV but still covering the basics of this tried and true security technology. While some would tell you that traditional AV is obsolete, GoSecure believes you need a strong combination of traditional and next-gen to quickly, and effectively, protect endpoints. Malicious files taking advantage of exploits via file-less attacks is the new normal. Detecting, and protecting, against these multi-faceted attacks requires multiple approaches to endpoint security, and GoSecure NGAV delivers.

Symantec Web Isolation executes web sessions away from endpoints, sending only safe rendering information to users’ browsers thereby preventing any website delivered zero-day malware from reaching your devices. When combined with Symantec Secure Web Gateways, policies allow isolating traffic from uncategorized sites or URLs with suspicious or potentially unsafe risk profiles. By integrating with Symantec messaging solutions, Web Isolation allows to isolate links in email to prevent phishing threats and credential attacks.
