Stop Malware Before It Starts
Protect Against the Threats No One Sees Coming
Every day, businesses face new and evolving cyber threats. Many of these—called zero-day threats—slip past traditional antivirus software because they’re too new to be recognized. With FileSure’s advanced Executable Blocking feature, you don’t have to wait for the next antivirus update to stay protected.
What Is Executable Blocking?
Executable Blocking is a proactive defense mechanism that prevents unauthorized or unknown programs from being written to your systems. It’s like a 24/7 security guard, stopping threats before they have a chance to execute—whether it’s known malware or a brand-new, zero-day attack.
The BLOCKEXECUTABLES Rule for MSPs
When you deploy FileSure, you’ll use the BLOCKEXECUTABLES rule, a preconfigured, ready-to-go setting designed to provide unmatched security against executable-based threats. This rule is a cornerstone of the protection FileSure delivers.
Why Does It Matter?
1. Stops Ransomware in Its Tracks
Ransomware can lock you out of your files and demand a hefty payment to regain access. Executable Blocking ensures that malicious programs like ransomware never get the chance to execute.
2. Protects Against Human Error
An employee clicks on a suspicious email attachment. Normally, that could spell disaster. With Executable Blocking, the file is stopped before it can do any damage.
3. Guards Against Unknown Threats
Unlike traditional antivirus software that relies on recognizing specific threats, Executable Blocking focuses on behavior. If a program shouldn’t be there, it won’t run—period.
