The partnership with Guidance Software represents Webroot’s first with an EDR vendor. Through this integration, Guidance will be able to gather new security insights to better secure customer networks and endpoints, as well as create effective policies to manage accessibility and risk tolerance.
Field-tested and court-proven, Guidance Software solutions are deployed on an estimated 35 million endpoints at more than 70 of the Fortune 100, as well as hundreds of agencies worldwide. Webroot’s cloud-based dynamic threat intelligence database monitors 4.3 billion IPs and 13+ billion file behavior records in order to detect and combat the increasing influx of pervasive threats that organizations face.
