Overall Satisfaction with CylancePROTECT

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

CylancePROTECT is being used by the whole organization across both Windows & Mac operating systems for client and server infrastructure. The solution allows us to maintain our security posture without the need to run background scans or update definition files whilst benefiting from Cylance's predictive algorithm detecting as yet unseen threats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Low CPU consumption usage on client hardware
No need to ensure definition files need to be updated
Provides security against zero data attacks with its predictive algorithm

Cons

Wider support for all Linux OS variants

Return on Investment

Reduce the operational cost of ensuring clients are always running the latest version
Identified potentially suspect files that had been previously undetected

Alternatives Considered

Cylance had a lower CPU consumption than it's competitors allowing us to improve client performance especially on older hardware and without the need to schedule background scans it has ensured staff can work optimally.

Likelihood to Recommend

CylancePROTECT is well suited to an environment where clients are mobile and used by C-Suite that often travels and will not always be connected to the corporate network when a window of opportunity could expose these clients to zero-day attacks using a more traditional AV vendor that required the latest definition files to be downloaded to ensure protection.
