For decades, legacy antivirus (AV) was the de facto cybersecurity option for many businesses. It scanned for known threats, detected malware based on signatures, and provided a sense of protection. But cyber threats have evolved, and legacy AV hasn’t.
The CrowdStrike 2025 Global Threat Report revealed that 79% of detections in 2024 were malware-free. Adversaries are bypassing traditional, signature-based defenses with fileless techniques, stolen credentials, and sophisticated evasion tactics. They move faster, exploit security gaps, and infiltrate organisations using legitimate tools — often without ever triggering a legacy AV alert. If your current AV is holding your security posture back, this eBook will help you take a smarter, more future-ready approach to security.
