What is next gen antivirus (NGAV) and how does it work?
In contrast to legacy antivirus technology, next generation antivirus (NGAV) advances threat detection on the endpoint by finding all symptoms of malicious behavior across an endpoint system rather than fixating on looking for known malware file attributes. NGAV uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to examine files, processes, applications, network activity, and user behavior to identify atypical activity that could indicate malicious attacks are unfolding on the endpoint.
The AI that NGAV depends upon is constantly learning from historical and ongoing system behavior to develop baselines for what 'normal' looks like on a given activity. These baselines can then be used to compare real-time activity. The predictive analytics get better over time at pinpointing anomalies that are likely to track to malicious behavior. This approach makes it possible…
