Next-Generation Antivirus: Quick Start Guide

Welcome to Rapid7's Next-Generation Antivirus, an add-on offering for Managed Detection and Response and Managed Threat Complete customers!

What is Next-Generation Antivirus?

The Next-Generation Antivirus offering grants access to Endpoint Prevention, a type of endpoint protection technology available as part of the Insight Agent. With Next-Generation Antivirus, you can monitor and prevent attacks on the endpoint, as well as detect, block, and disinfect assets against malicious files.

Endpoint Prevention adds an extra layer of protection to the assets where the Insight Agent is installed, using Rapid7's prevention engines to detect an attack's signature at the time of initial access to your environment. Endpoint Prevention also offers endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities, by integrating with InsightIDR.

Next-Generation Antivirus grants access to all Rapid7 prevention engines, including On-Access Scanning (Antivirus). With this offering, Rapid7 acts as your complete antivirus, Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP), and EDR solution.
