Omega Systems, an award-winning MSP and MSSP, announced it has fortified its endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution with the addition of automated moving target defence (AMTD) capabilities.
According to market research, traditional EDR technology fails to detect or prevent as much as one-third of all endpoint security threats, leaving companies and their networks susceptible to data theft or compromise.
Zero-day vulnerabilities
This evolution is a necessary response to the advanced persistent threats the company
Where conventional EDR tools falter, automated moving target defence steps in, using deceptive tactics to outmanoeuvre threat actors and close this growing security gap. Previously undetectable attacks, including zero-day vulnerabilities and malware variants, are not only discovered with AMTD but stopped before they ever get a chance to invade corporate networks.
According to Omega Systems COO Ben Tercha, this evolution is a necessary response to the advanced persistent threats the company sees increasingly bypass traditional EDR technology.
Malicious file signatures
“Over time, our Security Operations team has noticed a shift in power between sophisticated threat actors and standard EDR defence capabilities – and the balance continues to tip in the wrong direction,” said Tercha. “By embedding AMTD into our existing endpoint security solution, we can deliver a fully optimised endpoint security solution and better protect our customers against these sophisticated threats.”
AMTD utilises machine learning and memory polymorphism to deceive hackers, continuously morphing and reconfiguring to trap complex threats – even when they don’t display known malicious file signatures.
MDR solution
Experts predict a surge of AMTD features and capabilities to permeate the security technology industry in the coming years. This is the second major enhancement to Omega’s security solutions portfolio in 2024.
Earlier this year, the company launched Smart Guard, a comprehensive managed detection & response (MDR) solution, which combines threat monitoring, AI-powered intelligence and automation, and real-time security incident response from Omega’s in-house SOC team.
