Next-Gen AntiVirus

Next-gen antivirus refers to a cybersecurity solution that goes beyond signature-based detection. Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), behavior-based analysis, and deep learning algorithms, NGAV identifies and neutralizes threats in real-time. Its proactive approach enables defense against emerging and sophisticated cyber threats that traditional antivirus programs might miss.

In today's interconnected digital landscape, cyber threats are more sophisticated and pervasive than ever. Antivirus protection is crucial as it safeguards systems and data from a wide range of malicious activities. Malware poses significant risks to personal privacy, financial stability, and business continuity. With the increasing frequency and severity of cyberattacks, effective protection is essential to mitigate potential damage and secure digital assets.

Endpoint Central's Next-Gen Antivirus comprises the following features:

  • Employs behavior analysis and machine learning algorithms for dynamic detection of both known and unknown malware, including sophisticated file-less attacks.
  • Implements a real-time alerting system, utilizing intrusion detection mechanisms to notify security teams upon malware detection promptly, by notifying via email or mobile app.
  • Conducting incident forensics with MITRE ATT&CK®, provides detailed insights into attack techniques, tactics, and procedures, enabling the development of precise incident response plans.
  • Efficiently quarantine infected devices, minimizing lateral movement within the network.
  • Business continuity is ensured via continuous monitoring, independent of internet connectivity, eliminating security blind spots.

Multi-layered detection

Endpoint Central's Next-Gen Antivirus employs a multi-layered approach to detection, combining ML-assisted behavior-based analysis with deep-learning algorithms for online and offline reactive malware security. This dynamic combination enables proactive identification of emerging threats, providing unparalleled protection against sophisticated attacks. By constantly evolving and learning from new threats, this antivirus ensures your system is shielded from the latest vulnerabilities. This approach minimizes the need for frequent updates while delivering fast and accurate results.

Behaviour-based detection differs from traditional signature-based antivirus by focusing on how programs behave rather than simply identifying known malware signatures. This approach excels at detecting novel and evolving threats, including zero-day exploits, by monitoring for unusual system activity like rapid file access or abnormal network traffic. While challenges exist, such as defining normal behavior and potential performance impacts, behavior-based detection is crucial for identifying and mitigating sophisticated threats that evade traditional defenses.

MITRE TTPs-based incident forensics

Understanding the importance of thorough incident analysis, our antivirus integrates MITRE TTPs-based forensics. This approach allows examination of anomalous detections within the kill chain framework, offering a comprehensive understanding of the attack lifecycle. By mapping incidents to MITRE's tactics, techniques, and procedures, our antivirus enhances incident response capabilities, aiding security professionals in making informed decisions and fortifying defenses against future threats.

Contextual threat remediation

Reacting promptly to a detected threat is paramount in cybersecurity. Our next-gen antivirus excels in contextual threat remediation by immediately containing malware through quarantining infected devices and neutralizing attacks in real-time. By isolating compromised systems and thwarting ongoing attacks, our antivirus safeguards your network and prevents the lateral spread of threats.
