イ App Guard Key Features and Functions
App Guard is a tool that can prevent attackers from achieving their goals by taking away their freedom of action based on the assumption that they will be intruded into your computer.
It can respond to unknown cyber-attacks that conventional anti-virus software cannot.
1. Malware activation prevention function
Prevents the launch of malware such as ransomware that invades terminals via spoofed e-mail or fake websites, and protects terminals from unknown threats that do not develop even if invaded.
2. Tampering prevention function
Prevents unauthorized access from being established by imposing controls on applications that could be abused.
Even if an invoked process is compromised, tampering with the system is controlled.
3. Private Folders
Protects folders containing personal and confidential information by blocking access from software used in cyber attacks. Effective against ransomware.
4. No need for file updates or updates
Unlike conventional detection-based anti-virus software, no definition or pattern file updates or AI/machine learning engine updates are required.
5. Simplified operation and management and cost reduction
Once installed, the system can be continuously secured, reducing the cost and human workload of operating EDR and anti-virus software.
6. Can be used in combination with your current security products
AppGuard can be used in conjunction with your current security products as an additional security measure.
