Heimdal Next-Gen Antivirus & Firewall
Endpoint protection that blocks malicious activity and unauthorised remote access.
For endpoint estates needing malware detection, behavioural analysis and protection against risky remote logins.
Block endpoint threats and unauthorised remote access
Endpoint threats do not rely only on known malicious files. Malware, ransomware and fileless attacks can be accompanied by suspicious activity such as credential dumping, lateral movement or remote execution. Unauthorised remote login attempts can also provide a route into endpoint devices.
Heimdal Next-Gen Antivirus & Firewall scans files, analyses behaviour and uses cloud lookups to detect and block threats. It tracks anomalies across users, devices and applications, assesses remote login attempts, and can isolate infected systems or halt remote sessions to limit further activity.
Where Heimdal Next-Gen Antivirus & Firewall is used
The product is suited to protecting endpoint devices against malicious files, ransomware and fileless attacks while identifying behaviours associated with attack activity. Its remote access protection is relevant where organisations need to assess login context, including location, session anomalies and user risk, before allowing remote access.
Automatic isolation and session halting provide containment actions when an endpoint or remote session is affected.
Suitable environments
Heimdal Next-Gen Antivirus & Firewall is applicable to endpoint devices requiring protection against malware, suspicious behaviour and unauthorised remote access attempts. It provides endpoint antivirus, behavioural detection, containment and remote access protection; additional Heimdal modules are required to create an EDR solution.

How we help
Armstrong discusses endpoint protection and remote access requirements with customer IT teams, then recommends suitable solutions. These conversations can help establish whether the product’s threat detection, containment and login protection functions fit the endpoint estate and operational needs.
