A Question About Spero And Ethos.

[boombastik 6]

If i have only spero to on i am protected from the 20.xxx.xxx threads? Ethos is an heuristic engine for only unknown threads?

Ethos is for sending the samples to the cloud for scanning.

SPERO and ETHOS are both generic engines. To be precise SPERO is an engine which is trained using machine learning techniques and is reliant on file 'features' versus a signature per se. ETHOS is an engine which actually uses an algorithm designed to do 'file clustering'. You can turn off both and still be protected from the 20X million threats. That number is derived from the number of files we know we stop with 'one to one' matching which is driven off an engine in the product which cannot be turned off.
