Malware Prevention System

Explore how a malware prevention system works to detect and block malicious files at the network perimeter. Learn about its role in analyzing file behavior, intercepting threats, and enhancing overall endpoint security. Understand when and why to implement these systems in a comprehensive security strategy.
