For many years, companies have had to run Antivirus software on their computers and servers to protect them against the nasty things are out there.
With the wave of Ransomware software that locks all your files and demands money to unlock them becoming a bigger problem day to day, Lucidity went looking for an industry leading solution that could handle the modern threat our customers face trading online.
Lucidity chose SentinelOne, a leading provider in this modern AV space. Their technology uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect malicious software as new variants are released. It automatically shuts down network access to your computer and notifies our support team.
We can remotely control your machine in an isolated manner and restore things to the way they were if anything has been tampered with. The vendor even offers an insurance policy up to $1,000,000 USD if their software fails to protect. (refer SentinelOne Ransomeware Warranty)
