What is Antivirus (AV / NGAV)?
Antivirus (AV) and Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) are security solutions designed to detect, prevent, and remove Malware from systems. Traditional AV relies on signature-based detection, while NGAV incorporates behavioral analysis and machine learning.
These tools are foundational components of endpoint security and integrate with broader platforms such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
What is Antivirus used for?
Antivirus solutions are used to protect endpoints from threats such as Virus, Worm, Ransomware, and Spyware. NGAV enhances detection capabilities by identifying Indicators of Attack (IOA) and unknown threats.
Organizations rely on AV/NGAV to strengthen Security Posture and support Defense in Depth strategies.
