Webroot

Webroot, an OpenText company, secures businesses and individuals worldwide with threat intelligence and protection for endpoints and networking. Webroot was the first to harness the cloud and artificial intelligence to put an end to zero-day threats in real time. As an MSP Business Partner, Vista IT Group is proud to offer the entire Webroot portfolio of products including Endpoint protection, DNS Protection, and Security Awareness Training.

Security Awareness Training:

Cybercriminals target end users. Ongoing cybersecurity education and training for end users is a must for businesses to stay secure. Security Awareness Training is an education process that teaches employees about cybersecurity, IT best practices, and even regulatory compliance. Vista’s security awareness training trains employees on a variety of IT, security and other business-related topics. The topics include:

How to avoid phishing
How to avoid cyberattacks
How to spot potential malware behaviors
How to report possible security possible security threats
How to adhere to any applicable data privacy and compliance regulations
How to follow company IT policies and best practices

Although businesses may feel their employees would not be fooled by something like a phishing scam, cybercriminals still use this attack method because it continues to be successful. In fact, the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations report revealed that 93% of successful security breaches start with phishing.

With regular training for employees that includes phishing simulations, courses on IT and security best practices, and data protection and compliance training, Vista can significantly reduce your risk, decrease infections and related help desk costs, protect their reputation by experiencing fewer breaches, and secure their overall cybersecurity investment.

DNS Protection: Secure your DNS connection against cyberattacks, get total visibility into web usage, and enforce acceptable web usage policies to reduce security risk.

Before we talk about DNS security, you need to understand DNS. The domain name service (DNS) works like a phone book for the internet. When a user enters text into a browser, DNS servers take that input and translate it into the unique internet protocol (IP) addresses that let the browser open the desired site. But DNS protocols were never designed with security in mind and are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks, such a cache poisoning, DDoS, DNS hijacking, botnets, C&C, man-in-the-middle and more.

By redirecting users’ web traffic through Vista’s cloud based DNS security solution we can help finely tune and enforce web access policies, ensure regulatory compliance and stop upwards of 88% of threats a the networks edge – before they ever hit the network or endpoints.

EndPoint Protection

Endpoint protection, or endpoint security, is a general term that describes cybersecurity services for network endpoints, like laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, servers, and virtual environments. These services may include antivirus and antimalware, web filtering, and more. Webroot Endpoint protection is designed to:
