In the era of professionalized cybercrime, antivirus based solely on known virus signatures has become obsolete. Modern threats, such as polymorphic ransomware and “fileless” attacks, are specifically designed to evade traditional scans that look for static code patterns. At Aufiero Informática, as a leading and innovative company since 2003 in Latin America, we have understood that endpoint protection must evolve toward a model based on intelligence and behavior. Together with Heimdal Security, we provide our clients with Next-Generation Antivirus (Next-Gen AV), a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence to stop attacks that other solutions simply cannot see.
The End of Dependence on Virus Signatures
Traditional antivirus works like a “wanted” list; if a file matches a signature in the database exactly, it is blocked. The problem lies in the fact that attackers create thousands of variants of the same virus every minute to change that signature. At Aufiero Informática, we advise companies and institutions to make the leap to Heimdal’s Next-Gen AV, which does not depend on static lists. Instead, it analyzes what the file does in the system. By using Machine Learning algorithms and advanced heuristic analysis, the system can identify if a process is attempting to perform malicious actions—such as data encryption or code injection into legitimate processes—and stop it in milliseconds, even if it is a virus never seen before in the world.
Prevention of Fileless and Zero-Day Attacks
One of today’s greatest challenges is attacks that do not download files to the disk but instead run directly in the RAM using legitimate operating system tools. These attacks are invisible to conventional antivirus. The Heimdal Security solution we distribute is designed with a deep inspection layer that monitors memory activity and running processes. Upon detecting anomalous behavior, Next-Gen AV can block execution and isolate the threat before it achieves its goal. For an organization, having this level of protection distributed by Aufiero Informática means drastically reducing the risk of falling victim to a “Zero-Day” vulnerability, where no prior security patch exists.
Operational Efficiency and Low System Impact
Historically, antivirus software has been criticized for consuming excessive hardware resources, slowing down employee computers. Heimdal’s architecture breaks this stigma. By being optimized to work in the cloud and using intelligent scanning processes, the impact on the devices’ CPU and memory is minimal. This is especially valuable for our clients in sectors such as 3D design and rendering, where computing power is critical to the business. At Aufiero Informática, we ensure that security enhances productivity instead of hindering it, allowing your teams to work at maximum speed while protected by an invisible but relentless digital wall.
