No we do not have to deploy an additional agent, as the existing Endpoint Central agent seamlessly supports Next-Gen Antivirus. NGAV features are available out of the box and can be utilized immediately upon enabling the Early Access program. ### What are the operating systems supported by Next-Gen Antivirus? Next-Gen Antivirus is currently available for the the Windows OS versions: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 8. ### Is Next-Gen Antivirus part of the standard licensing for the Endpoint Central security edition? Next-Gen Antivirus is not included in the Endpoint Central Security Edition and is available as a separate add-on. ### What is Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV)? Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) is an advanced cybersecurity solution designed to detect and prevent advanced threats like ransomware, fileless malware, and zero-day attacks. Unlike traditional antivirus, NGAV uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and behavioral analysis to identify suspicious activities and mitigate threats. ### How does Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) work? NGAV uses a combination of advanced techniques, including: - **Behavioral Analysis:** Monitoring programs for unusual activities. - **Machine Learning:** Continuously improving threat detection by learning from past attacks. - Leveraging real-time threat intelligence to stay updated on emerging threats. This enables NGAV to detect and block threats that traditional antivirus may miss. ### Why is traditional antivirus considered outdated? Traditional antivirus relies on signature-based detection, which requires known threat patterns to identify malware. It struggles to detect modern threats like: - Polymorphic malware that changes its code to evade detection. - Fileless malware that doesn’t leave a file trace. - Zero-day vulnerabilities for which no patches exist. NGAV addresses these limitations by using proactive detection methods to adapt to evolving threats. ### What are the key differences between NGAV and traditional antivirus? NGAV offers features such as real-time monitoring, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence, whereas traditional antivirus focuses mainly on signature-based scanning. ### Is NGAV better than traditional antivirus? Yes, NGAV provides a more comprehensive and proactive approach to cybersecurity, especially against advanced and evolving threats. ### What are the advantages of NGAV for endpoint protection? NGAV provides robust endpoint security by: - Preventing advanced malware attacks. - Offering real-time incident response. - Reducing reliance on manual updates or human intervention. ## Unified Endpoint Management and Security Solution ### Patch Management -
