Next Generation Antivirus

What’s Included In My NGAV?

Jam Cyber’s Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) includes a comprehensive suite of features designed to protect businesses from advanced threats. Here’s a closer look at the technologies and methodologies underpinning our NGAV solution:

Static Artificial Intelligence

• Precision and Speed: Utilises machine learning algorithms to analyse the static properties of files before they execute. This pre-emptive analysis allows for the identification of potential threats based on characteristics and patterns learned from vast datasets of known malware, enabling rapid decision-making and the blocking of malicious files with high precision.

Behavioural AI

• Dynamic Threat Detection: Goes beyond traditional signature-based detection methods by monitoring the behaviour of programs in real-time. This approach allows for the identification of anomalies and potentially harmful actions, such as unauthorised data encryption or network communication with known bad actors, ensuring threats can be neutralised based on their actions, regardless of the malware’s signature.

Malicious Docs and Scripts

• Advanced Document and Script Analysis: Specifically targets sophisticated attacks delivered through documents and scripts, which are often used as vectors for malware and ransomware. By analysing the behaviour and intent of scripts and embedded code within documents, NGAV effectively prevents exploits and malicious payloads from executing, safeguarding against attacks delivered via email attachments or downloaded files.

File-less Threats

• Addressing the Invisible: Targets malware that operates without writing any files to disk, a common tactic used to evade traditional antivirus solutions. By monitoring in-memory activities and the manipulation of system processes, NGAV effectively detects and mitigates threats that exist solely in the system’s memory, ensuring protection against this increasingly prevalent form of attack.

Lateral Movement

• Preventing Spread within Networks: Identifies and stops attempts by attackers to move laterally across a network. This capability is crucial for containing breaches and preventing the spread of threats from one system to others within the same network, thereby minimising the impact of an attack and protecting against widespread system compromise.

Quarantine and Kill

• Immediate Threat Neutralisation: Employs decisive actions to contain and neutralise threats as soon as they are detected. Infected or suspicious files and processes are quarantined, stopping them from causing further damage, while the ‘kill’ function ensures that active threats are terminated, halting any ongoing malicious activity.

Rollback Files and Registry

• Rapid Recovery from Attacks: Features the unique ability to rollback changes made by malware, restoring files and registry entries to their pre-attack state. This capability is invaluable for quickly recovering from ransomware attacks and other forms of malware that alter system files and configurations, significantly reducing downtime and the need for extensive remediation efforts.

Through the integration of these advanced features, Jam Cyber’s NGAV offers maximum protection against a wide spectrum of cyber threats. By choosing Jam Cyber, businesses can ensure their cybersecurity defences are robust, resilient, and ready to face new digital threats as they arise.
