Next-gen antivirus (NGAV) differs from traditional antivirus by using artificial intelligence, behavioral analysis, and machine learning to detect threats, rather than relying solely on signature-based detection.
NGAV identifies unknown and evolving threats, including zero-day attacks and fileless malware, which conventional antivirus solutions often miss.
It provides proactive threat prevention, continuous monitoring, and cloud-based threat intelligence, making it more effective against modern cyber threats compared to traditional antivirus solutions.
