Challenges With Using Webroot Endpoint Security Products
No EDR Product to Address the Evolving Threat Landscape
Webroot does not currently offer an EDR product (only very limited EDR capabilities in the Endpoint Protection product), so it lacks many of the security detection and response technologies offered by the rest of the industry. ThreatDown includes EDR in our top 3 bundles to deliver superior security and catch threats that others miss.
No Automated Guidance on Improving Security Posture
Webroot does not offer any kind of automated guidance on the current effectiveness of a customer’s deployment or how to improve it. ThreatDown includes Security Advisor with all bundles to deliver a security score and automated guidance on enhancing its security posture.
No Recovery of Files After a Ransomware Attack
Although Webroot may claim some minimal level of rollback capability, it does not recover files. Customers are left in a lurch to manually take on that painstaking process. ThreatDown’s 7-day ransomware rollback solution can restore files on workstations up to 7 days after a ransomware attack.
