Next-generation protection overview

Applies to

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint includes next-generation protection to catch and block all types of emerging threats. The majority of modern malware is polymorphic, meaning it constantly mutates to evade detection. As soon as one variant is identified, another takes its place. This rapid evolution underscores the need for agile and innovative security solutions.

Next-generation protections, such as Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks malware using local and cloud-based machine learning models, behavior analysis, and heuristics. Microsoft Defender Antivirus uses predictive technologies, machine learning, applied science, and artificial intelligence to detect and block malware at the first sign of abnormal behavior.

In addition to Microsoft Defender Antivirus, your next-generation protection services include the following capabilities:

Next-generation protection is included in both Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 and Plan 2. Next-generation protection is also included in Microsoft Defender for Business and Microsoft 365 Business Premium.

To configure next-generation protection services, see Configure Microsoft Defender Antivirus features.

Tip

Performance tip Due to a variety of factors (examples listed below) Microsoft Defender Antivirus, like other antivirus software, can cause performance issues on endpoint devices. In some cases, you might need to tune the performance of Microsoft Defender Antivirus to alleviate those performance issues. Microsoft's Performance analyzer is a PowerShell command-line tool that helps determine which files, file paths, processes, and file extensions might be causing performance issues; some examples are:

  • Top paths that impact scan time
  • Top files that impact scan time
  • Top processes that impact scan time
  • Top file extensions that impact scan time
  • Combinations – for example:
    • top files per extension
    • top paths per extension
    • top processes per path
    • top scans per file
    • top scans per file per process

You can use the information gathered using Performance analyzer to better assess performance issues and apply remediation actions. See Performance analyzer for Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
