Taegis NGAV Agent

integrations endpoints ngav taegis


Secureworks® Taegis™ NGAV is an optional add-on to Secureworks® Taegis™ XDR and Secureworks® Taegis™ ManagedXDR that adds advanced endpoint prevention to the detection, investigation, and response capabilities of XDR and ManagedXDR. The Taegis NGAV agent looks for zero-day and prevalent malware attacks from malicious applications trying to execute on the endpoint. Weaponized script, document, and macro attacks are detected by analyzing both file-based and fileless scripts as well as documents and embedded macros before they can run on the system.

Regions

This feature is not supported in the EU region and not available in APJ.

Advantages of Taegis NGAV's AI Protection

Note

This add-on license provides you access to the Taegis NGAV Management Console in addition to XDR. You must download and deploy the Taegis NGAV endpoint agent after your Red Cloak™ Endpoint Agent is deployed. Currently this is a dual agent deployment, but you only need the NGAV Management Console during setup.

Onboarding with XDR and Taegis NGAV

If you are implementing Taegis NGAV, you will receive two provisioning emails with login instructions for XDR and Taegis NGAV. If you already have XDR and add Taegis NGAV, you will just receive an email for Taegis NGAV.

Setting up the Taegis NGAV Agent

After completing the setup of XDR and deployment of the endpoint agent, log in to the Taegis NGAV Management Console from the link provided in the provisioning email.

Note

For more details on the Taegis NGAV Enterprise product, its installation, use, and management, please see the Taegis NGAV Enterprise Administration Guide .
