approved applications. They also must constantly
deploy additional hardware and software, with
minimal if any integration; download new file
signatures in order to keep signatures databases
current; and conduct daily scans and real-time
scans of memory, emails, etc. All of this takes up a
lot of CPU cycles and degrades client device usage.
On average, traditional endpoint security products
use 50% to over 70% of CPU cycles during
intensive scans.
This leads to constant complaints among end-users
at many organizations, who want to know why
their systems are so slow or why it takes 15 minutes
to boot up every workday morning. Furthermore,
this also increases costs and reduces productivity,
because users are making more calls to the
helpdesk when problems arise.
The negative impact on performance goes
directly against what so many enterprises strive to
achieve today: enhanced systems and application
performance that enables workers to complete
tasks more quickly and efficiently. If systems are
slow, so is the response to customer needs, or the
development of a new product or service, or the
launch of a marketing campaign. n
