SenseOn is a direct competitor to CrowdStrike. On 19th July 2024 BST, an update to CrowdStrike endpoint software caused worldwide IT outages that resulted in over 8 million Windows devices being disabled. This caused major disruption to organisations in a range of industries, including aviation and healthcare. Quality assurance gaps and deployment processes were not the only factors, or even the most significant factors, in the widespread disruption.

A question that all small, security-conscious organisations face is: “What's next?” They know that their antivirus (AV) is not enough. AVs detect malware through a combination of signatures, heuristics, and integrity checking. However, an AV cannot detect malware that is encrypted or that mimics trusted applications or insider threats, such as an employee exfiltrating client data to a third party. More than half of all detected malware now evades AV solutions.

SenseOn is delighted to have achieved over 98.7% detection rate in the Malware Protection Test and 0 false positive alerts in the Real-World Protection Test, reveals the latest AV-Comparatives Business Security Report. Such a high protection rate can help provide security professionals with reassurance and peace of mind in their endpoint protection capabilities, and help to reduce their organisation’s risk exposure, optimise their internal resources and enhance their incident response playbooks.
