An IT department is evaluating a new malicious software scanning tool. They need continuous protection, quick addition of new detection logic, and minimal impact on existing workflows. Which option best addresses these requirements?
Heuristic scanning that escalates threats to administrators based on significant risk indicators
Adaptive scanning with system-wide distribution of updated strategies
Regular updates for a static scanning tool at set intervals, retrieved with minimal administrative tasks
Periodic scans guided by staff upon suspicious activity
An adaptive detection approach updates logic consistently and analyzes unusual system activity with little extra effort, making it well-suited to new threats while minimizing disruptions. Other methods rely heavily on staff to initiate scans, perform updates more often by hand, or generate a level of alerts that can overwhelm personnel and interfere with daily tasks.
