Macro trends such as cloud and mobility are changing the requirements for endpoint security. Data can be stored on-premises, in public clouds or on endpoints and must be protected 24×7 regardless of where the data is located. At the same time, this data is a high-value target for organized crime. The total global impact of cybercrime has risen to around €3 billion, making it more profitable than the global trade in marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined.

So how do you ensure business data is protected without losing the flexibility needed to compete in a rapidly evolving marketplace?

Historically, the battle between cybercrime and protection has always been highly reactive. First a threat such as a virus had to present itself and only then did the antivirus industry respond by blocking a threat by writing so-called 'signatures' with which a virus can be detected and blocked.
