An alternative to traditional antivirus
Signature-based antivirus is always behind. We look for behaviour that does not fit: AI-assisted defence, supervised by our team.
Why classic antivirus is no longer enough
Traditional antivirus works by comparing files against a list of known threat signatures. It is useful against the old, but blind to the new: thousands of malware variants and previously unsigned attacks appear every day. By the time the vendor's lab creates and distributes the signature, the damage may already be done.
Modern attacks (targeted ransomware, social engineering, credential abuse, zero-day threats) rarely fit a known pattern. Relying on signatures alone is like locking yesterday's door while the attacker climbs in through today's window.
Our approach: behaviour, not catalogue
Instead of asking 'do I know this file?', the AI asks 'does this behaviour make sense?'. It analyses patterns and flags anomalies through rules and thresholds, and our team applies security adjustments to your environment. That way we can also detect what has never been seen before.
This is not about installing another program and forgetting it: it is a managed defence, reviewed by our team and adapted to your organisation. A real alternative to the reactive model, designed for today's threats and not those of a decade ago.
What switching from your current antivirus looks like
Changing your defence model does not mean going unprotected for a single minute. We start with an audit of your environment to understand what you have installed, what it covers and what it leaves exposed. With that picture we decide with you which protections your systems need.
The rollout happens in phases, with verification at every step: first a small group of machines, we check everything runs normally, then the rest. We never uninstall the old protection before the new one is active and verified. No windows of exposure and no interruption to your team's work.
Common mistakes we help you avoid
After years of auditing environments, the same mistakes come up again and again: trusting the antivirus to cover everything, piling up exceptions nobody reviews, keeping machines unpatched because they 'work', and stacking several security tools that get in each other's way and degrade performance without adding protection.
The most dangerous of all is the false sense of security: the green icon in the taskbar that makes everything look fine while the real doors (weak credentials, exposed services, inherited permissions) stay open. Our behaviour-based defence targets exactly that blind spot: it watches what signatures cannot see.
Beyond the workstation: defending the whole environment
A classic antivirus lives on each computer and only sees that computer. Our alternative looks at the whole: workstations, servers, network, email and identities, correlated by the same AI. A behaviour that looks innocent on an isolated machine can be one piece of an attack when seen next to the rest of the signals.
The defence also integrates with the rest of SYSBalear's services: our team reviews what the endpoint reports, hardening closes the weaknesses detection uncovers, and if we manage your systems or your hosting, everything sits under a single coherent strategy. It is the difference between an installed product and managed security.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to uninstall my current antivirus?
We assess that in the initial audit. We design the solution to fit your environment, without unnecessary duplication.
Does this protect against ransomware and zero-day threats?
Yes. That is exactly where the signature model fails. Because we rely on behaviour and anomalies, we can detect new attacks, and our team can act, before a known signature exists for them, including targeted ransomware.
Does it also work for remote work and machines outside the office?
Yes. Behaviour-based defence travels with the machine wherever it goes; it does not depend on the computer sitting inside the office perimeter. Laptops on the move get the same monitoring and hardening as fixed workstations.
Is this just installing a commercial EDR?
No. The tool matters, but what makes the difference is the service behind it: the AI that works inside SYSBalear, the review and hardening of the environment and specialists who analyse and respond. A product without management generates alerts nobody looks at; here every signal has someone (and something) on the other side.
