The Best Defenses Against Zero-day Exploits for Various-sized Organizations

Endpoint protection based solely on Anti-Virus (AV) signature-based technology is fundamentally flawed. AV technology will only protect against known malware the AV provider has identified and written signatures for. The problem with classic AV protection is it does not detect unknown or unseen malware because it is signature based. A better method is to identify secure software and only allow that software to run. This technique is called application white-listing.
