The 4 primary functions of business antivirus are monitoring, prevention, detection and response and logging and reporting. Once installed, antivirus software will provide constant threat monitoring on your business devices. Next-generation antivirus solutions add a layer of prevention using machine learning (AI) methods. When threats emerge, business antivirus detects and launches a response. This includes alerting your IT administrators or third party support team of new risks. Finally, it will log threats which allows your cyber security posture to learn and improve.
