Next-generation antivirus (NGAV) is a new breed of software that was created to bridge the gap left by traditional antivirus.
Product | Market Share (%) |

F-Secure Total | 6.5% |
Other | 78.0% |
What exactly constitutes NGAV in the cybersecurity industry is still unclear since there’s not a widely-accepted definition for the term. At a minimum, next-generation antivirus products need to go beyond performing signature-based detection while also incorporating some type of advanced technology.
Most NGAVs go beyond the use of indicators of compromise (IOCs) and metadata such as virus signatures, IP addresses, file hashes, and URLs. Using technologies like advanced data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data analytics, next-generation antivirus solutions look for patterns of behavior used by attackers to discover tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus was previously known as Cybereason NGAV.

Business Development Manager for Cybereason at Bechtle | 4.0 | I use Cybereason Next-Gen Antivirus to replace outdated antivirus systems, combining antivirus with EDR for cross-platform support on Windows and Linux. Stability issues and slow support responses are concerns after updates, as they affect processor performance. |
Head of Research Development and Innovation at CSIR | 4.0 | My company uses Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus primarily for its AI detection algorithm, which effectively identifies unknown threats beyond signature-based ones. However, integrating other tools can cause false positives, making it challenging to whitelist certain security tools. |
Cyber Security & ICT Director at Polish Security Experts Association | 5.0 | We use Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus for endpoint protection, appreciating its ease of use, lightweight nature, and effective malware and ransomware detection. It lacks local language support, and we considered McAfee and Microsoft before choosing this solution. |
