The release of Next Generation Antivirus (NGAV) 2.1.2 introduces critical improvements to antivirus signature tracking, ensuring accurate health reporting across macOS and Linux systems.

Fixed

• Previously, system restarts caused the NGAV engine to revert the Last Signature Update timestamp to null or outdated values. This issue led to the antivirus health status incorrectly reporting as “Poor,” despite the system being current. The timestamp is now correctly persisted, and the antivirus health check reflects the true state of the endpoint even after rebooting. This ensures health status accuracy, reduces false negatives, and eliminates unnecessary health alerts.
