critique of classical anti-virus solutions is anything but as new. To date, however reluctant, almost all major companies, traditional protection against digital pests abandon. Netflix has now taken this step and the previous company-wide anti-virus programs thrown from the computers – which does not mean of course that you now operates unprotected. As the business magazine Forbes reports, the nails are hammered into the “anti-virus coffin” for years, but buried the longest time is not this. Now, however, comes motion in the matter, since Netflix contributes a fairly large nail. And the streaming provider is regarded as an influential and innovative company, which is why many could soon follow suit.

The realization that “antivirus is dead”, they had already long, said Rob Fry, security chief at Netflix. You had to keep the old systems but, as this has required the credit card industry among others. That has not changed, but Netflix has a security partner who meets the standards and yet with a contemporary threat protection.

‘) to date anti-virus programs rely on signatures to put it simply, they have to be constantly updated. The problem is that you’re always one step behind the pests. Instead, Netflix is ​​now turning to an advanced method of virus detection, which is provided by a carrier named SentinelTwo.

SentinelTwo which has been founded by industry veterans from Intel, McAfee, Checkpoint, IBM and the Israeli army, relies on a real-time analysis of equipment or the threats. The solution comes with recommendation or certification of the independent institute AV-Test.

Not all are convinced that the era of anti-virus software is actually the end, like other security experts against Forbes thought. That AV software itself must evolve, but which were all safe.
