Did you know what we call an antivirus is completely different from what was out there 10 years ago? Slowly and silently the market has been putting out “Next-Generations Antivirus” (NGAV) that is significantly better! Traditional Antivirus used to only scan files on your computer and look for viruses hiding, they were very clunky, updates were rare if any, and would slow everything down on your computer.
Next-Generation Antivirus have a sleuth of capability, they not only scan files. They protect you from different angles such as web browsing, scanning things you physically plug into your computer, have built in firewalls, and can update hourly in some cases to get the latest threats found in the world! With the power of artificial intelligence it’s only assisting improving and even contributing to lowering the global breach average cost! In 2024, it was said a global average breach would cost $4.88 Million, statistics coming in from 2025 are showing it went down $4.44 million globally.
