# Antivirus software for enterprise, *built for modern malware attacks* Modern malware evades traditional antivirus through fileless attacks, in-memory execution, and signature bypass techniques. Malware Protection Plus uses NGAV-based behavioral detection to stop ransomware, [zero-day](https://www.manageengine.com/malware-protection/articles/zero-day-malware.html), and advanced threats before they spread across endpoints. ## What is enterprise antivirus software? Enterprise antivirus software is designed to protect business endpoints from modern cyber threats through a combination of malware detection, prevention, and response capabilities. Unlike [traditional antivirus](https://www.manageengine.com/malware-protection/articles/malwareprotection-vs-antivirus.html) tools that primarily rely on signatures to identify known threats, modern enterprise antivirus solutions use additional techniques such as behavioral monitoring and real-time analysis to detect suspicious activity, fileless attacks, and emerging threats. As part of a broader endpoint security strategy, enterprise antivirus helps organizations reduce attack exposure, improve visibility across managed devices, and strengthen protection against evolving threats across the enterprise environment. ## How our *enterprise antivirus* works Malware Protection Plus is an enterprise antivirus solution built on [next-generation antivirus (NGAV)](https://www.manageengine.com/malware-protection/articles/ngav.html) capabilities to help organizations detect, investigate, contain, remediate, and recover from modern malware attacks across the full attack lifecycle. ### Step 01: Detection Behavioral AI, signature analysis, and memory scanning identify known and unknown threats in real time. ### Step 02: Investigation Advanced malware scanning, attack forensics, and process analysis provide complete threat visibility. ### Step 03: Containment Compromised endpoints are isolated instantly to stop lateral movement and limit impact. ### Step 04: Remediation Malicious files, processes, and unauthorized system changes are automatically removed. ### Step 05: Recovery Rollback and recovery capabilities restore affected endpoints to a secure operational state. ## Enterprise antivirus pricing Simple endpoint-based pricing for modern enterprise antivirus and malware protection. Scale as your security needs grow. ### Enterprise Edition Unlimited endpoints ยท Annual subscription **$1.25 / endpoint / month** - **Everything in Free, plus:** - Advanced memory scanning - MITRE ATT&CK mapping and root cause analysis - Full EDR visibility and IoC analysis - Ransomware rollback and recovery - Priority enterprise support ## Enterprise antivirus capabilities Built for modern enterprise environments, these capabilities close the visibility and protection gaps left behind by traditional [signature-based antivirus](https://www.manageengine.com/malware-protection/articles/signature-based-detection.html). ### Behavioral threat detection Detect malicious activity in real time using behavioral analysis instead of relying only on known signatures. ### AI-powered antivirus Use machine learning to identify unknown, emerging, and evasive threats before they execute. ### Memory-based protection Expose and stop malware executing directly in memory with no file footprint. ### Fileless malware detection Prevent attacks that abuse trusted system tools, scripts, and legitimate processes. ### Exploit prevention Block exploit techniques and suspicious execution paths before payload delivery. ### Endpoint isolation Automatically isolate compromised endpoints to contain threats and reduce spread. ### Real-time malware protection Continuously monitor endpoint activity to identify and respond to threats instantly. ### Single-click recovery Contain, remediate, and restore affected endpoints with minimal manual effort. ### MITRE ATT&CK mapping Gain contextual visibility into attacker tactics, techniques, and attack progression. ## Why organizations choose [Malware Protection Plus](https://www.manageengine.com/malware-protection/index.html) More than enterprise antivirus. Outcomes that reduce risk, accelerate response, and improve endpoint resilience. ### Stop unknown threats Behavioral AI and next-generation antivirus identify evasive and previously unseen threats beyond traditional signature-based detection. ### Respond before threats spread Automated investigation, containment, and remediation reduce response time and limit business impact. ### Gain complete endpoint visibility Track endpoint activity, attack timelines, and threat indicators from a single security console. ### Strengthen malware protection Defend against ransomware, zero-day malware, fileless attacks, and advanced threats with layered endpoint security. ## Traditional antivirus vs next-generation antivirus Two approaches to endpoint security. One built to recognize known threats. One built to stop how modern malware actually behaves. Capability comparison between traditional antivirus and next-generation antivirus (Malware Protection Plus) | Capability | Traditional Antivirus | Next-Generation Antivirus MPP | |---|---|---| | Detection | | | | Detection method | Signature-based detection | Behavioral threat detection + AI analysis | | Threat coverage | Known malware only | Known, unknown, and evasive threats | | Detection focus | File and signature analysis | Behavior, execution, and attack intent | | Fileless attack defense | Limited | Built-in fileless malware detection | | Zero-day protection | Depends on updates | Behavioral and exploit-based prevention | | Visibility and response | | | | Endpoint visibility | Limited security visibility | Unified endpoint visibility and attack context | | Protection model | Reactive detection | Proactive prevention and containment | | Incident response | Manual investigation and remediation | Automated response and recovery | | Protection and operations | | | | Malware protection | Basic malware scanning | Advanced malware protection with memory analysis | | Operational impact | Higher investigation effort | Faster response with lower security overhead | ## Enterprise antivirus FAQs ### Why is enterprise antivirus still important for modern organizations? Enterprise antivirus continues to play a critical role in blocking known malware and establishing baseline endpoint protection. However, it is most effective when combined with behavioral detection to identify and respond to modern, unknown threats.
