aDolus FACT - Malware Detection vs SecEdge MicroEdge: Side-by-Side Comparison (2026)

aDolus FACT - Malware Detection

Mid-market and enterprise teams managing software supply chains will get the most from aDolus FACT because it consolidates multiple antivirus engines and YARA rules into a single malware detection workflow, catching threats that isolated scanners miss. The tool maps component relationships to identify hidden infection paths, and covers NIST GV.SC (supply chain risk management) and DE.AE (adverse event analysis) with actual depth rather than surface-level compliance. Skip this if you need post-infection response or threat hunting; FACT stops at detection and doesn't help you understand how malware moved through your network after the fact.

SecEdge MicroEdge

Operations teams securing distributed IoT and industrial control networks should choose SecEdge MicroEdge for its hardware-anchored device identity and cryptographic key management, which eliminates the provisioning and rotation headaches that plague software-only agents in field environments. Support for multiple root-of-trust architectures (TPM, Arm-TEE, IC SE) means you're not locked into a single silicon vendor, and the IPsec tunnel enforcement covers both identity and encryption in one agent footprint. Skip this if your devices lack any hardware security module or if you need centralized visibility across brownfield OT networks without per-device agent deployment; MicroEdge assumes you can touch endpoints at first boot.
