[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Smac announced on the 9th that it has launched Cybereason's antivirus solution, the ‘NGAV (Next Generation Anti Virus) solution’. Previously, EDR and NGAV solutions were provided in an integrated form, but with the launch of this solution, the company explained that it is now possible to provide each as a separate system.


NGAV is a next-generation antivirus solution that can block all types of malware, including ransomware and fileless malware. It detects malware that cannot be identified by virus definition files through machine learning algorithms, boasting the highest detection rate and the lowest false positive rate. It can also detect unknown ransomware and fileless malware before files are encrypted through behavior analysis. Attacks by fileless malware using legitimate OS tools such as Windows PowerShell are also blocked in advance. Known malware can also be efficiently defended using virus definition files (signatures).


Cybereason is a cybersecurity company founded in 2012 by security experts from the Israeli intelligence unit ‘Unit 8200’. Cybereason’s EDR and NGAV solutions classify threat behaviors into six stages, detecting each threat step-by-step and visually displaying the attack stages using the ‘Cyber Kill Chain’ technology. It also provides prioritization for threat response through machine learning that classifies advanced malware.


Cybereason, which holds a patent capable of analyzing over 8 million data points per second, can grasp the entire situation of cyber attacks in real time. When the solution is running, resource usage is minimized with CPU usage below 5% and traffic usage per host under 10mb.



A Smac official said, “Cybereason’s EDR and NGAV solutions comprehensively provide automated detection, perfect situational awareness, and response measures for attack activities,” adding, “Smac will continuously discover promising solutions to expand its ICT business area.”
