Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Emerging Cyber Threats

The relentless targeting of critical infrastructure in the United States has seen yet another escalation.

According to a recent TechRadar article, a newly identified threat group has launched sophisticated attacks on critical U.S. facilities. This alarming trend highlights the urgent need for businesses and organizations to rethink their approach to cybersecurity.

The Growing Threat Landscape

Cybercriminals are becoming more innovative, employing tactics that bypass traditional security measures. The attackers identified in the article exploited vulnerabilities to infiltrate vital systems, potentially causing widespread disruptions to essential services. These incidents underline the inadequacy of relying solely on 'Detect and Respond' strategies.

Detection-based tools are inherently reactive—they identify a breach only after it occurs. While swift responses are essential, they are no substitute for preventing breaches from happening in the first place.

Why 'Isolation and Containment' Is the Future

AppGuard takes a proactive stance with its patented 'Isolation and Containment' approach. Unlike 'Detect and Respond,' which reacts after a threat emerges, AppGuard prevents malware from executing, neutralizing threats before they can compromise systems. This approach eliminates the need for constant updates to address new threats, making it an ideal solution for protecting critical infrastructure and other high-value targets.

Proven Protection Backed by a Decade of Success

AppGuard has a 10-year track record of successfully safeguarding endpoints against even the most advanced threats. Now available for commercial use, it offers businesses the tools to preempt attacks like those targeting U.S. critical infrastructure.

Why Businesses Must Act Now

For organizations overseeing critical infrastructure—or any business that can't afford downtime—the stakes have never been higher. With ransomware and other advanced threats on the rise, adopting AppGuard is not just an option but a necessity.
