Antivirus is one piece of the puzzle, but it has limitations. Traditional antivirus relies on signatures of known malware, which means it can miss new or advanced attacks. Endpoint protection is broader, combining antivirus with behavioral monitoring, vulnerability management, and patching. HERO’s service adds 24/7 monitoring and human oversight, ensuring alerts are investigated and acted on immediately. This layered approach stops threats like ransomware, phishing, and insider misuse that standard antivirus cannot. In short, endpoint protection provides full defense while antivirus only covers a fraction of risks.
