EDR security solutions collect and analyze endpoint data to detect and respond to threats quickly, helping eliminate the threat landscape, streamline investigations and automate remediation processes.
Using Symantec EDR, security teams gain visibility of all network activity from one central console, providing the tools to secure remote working environments effectively.
Endpoint Detection
Endpoint detection with EDR provides continuous visibility and threat response by detecting and monitoring suspicious activities that could indicate a cyberattack. By quickly responding to attacks as they unfold, proactive steps can be taken to stop security breaches from becoming breaches in security. However, this requires more than traditional signature-based antivirus solutions: hunting down sophisticated adversaries and their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs).
React quickly to threats emerging with advanced EDR features such as device firewall, targeted attack analytics, machine learning and UEBA. These capabilities combine local and global telemetry with dynamic adversary intelligence for continuous machine learning analysis of attacker methods that quickly expose compromised machines – helping incident responders prioritize incidents by risk, increase investigator productivity and ensure threats are quickly detected and contained.
EDR solutions are essential in minimizing “dwell time”, or the length of time an attacker can access your network and digital assets. With EDR’s instant response capability after threats are identified, organizations can act swiftly against threats by eliminating malicious files and restoring any affected system files and settings after attacks occur. Furthermore, EDR can execute security playbooks or extend response to hundreds of other security and IT tools, enabling organizations to eliminate threats while recovering as though no attacks occurred.
Incident Response
As malware evolves and attacks become more sophisticated, security environments shift rapidly. Organizations need a comprehensive solution to combat these threats, including EDRs, endpoint protection platforms (EPPs) and antivirus for maximum visibility and threat detection, helping reduce dwell time for attacks while preventing costly data breaches.
EDR allows for the deep analysis of endpoint activity to detect malicious activities undetected by traditional protection technologies. EDR helps detect all phases of an attack, quickly contain it, and recover your environment so business operations can resume uninterrupted.
If you find evidence that an attacker is downloading files, Symantec can alert you immediately and provide visibility into which endpoints have been affected. After reviewing file names, dates, and sizes to investigate affected endpoints and take measures to isolate or clean them, further action can be taken by isolating them or taking appropriate remediation steps.
Xcitium xdr also unifies security data from various sources across control points, including cloud services, to provide visibility into an incident that spans managed and unmanaged endpoints and devices – an essential capability in an increasingly mobile work-from-home world where employees connect from remote locations with various devices to corporate networks. Furthermore, advanced features like machine learning, information collectors, and behavioural analytics help uncover stealthy attacks that evade or bypass other defences.
Forensics
Symantec XDR helps security teams stay afloat by offering visibility into what is happening on endpoints and cloud services, such as when someone attempts to log in from an unfamiliar IP address or downloads large files from cloud services such as Dropbox. Furthermore, this solution also provides insights into user activities on over 40,000 cloud apps and services.
Digital Forensics involves analyzing data or systems to detect changes, who made them, and when. It can be applied in many situations, such as providing privacy violations or cybercrime against companies. Investigators employ tools like Basis Technology’s Autopsy hard disk analyzer and Wireshark network protocol analyzer. A mouse jiggler may also be employed to keep computers from going to sleep and losing volatile memory. Upon completion of the analysis, their findings are documented in an official finding report before being verified against original devices in preparation for legal proceedings such as discovery, depositions or actual litigation proceedings.
This platform’s predictive machine learning capabilities detect advanced attacks with precision, minimizing false positives and providing investigators with high levels of productivity. Its behavioural policies detect and block threats that other solutions don’t recognize, such as ransomware and zero-day threats – it even protects against data loss by offering a single policy covering endpoint, cloud and network environments.
Automation
Automation with EDR helps organizations shorten the time it takes to investigate and respond to threats by harnessing machine learning and behavioural analytics to monitor endpoints for suspicious activity and detect anomalies continuously. It increases investigator productivity while prioritizing risk-based incidents, performing network isolation or auto-immunising compromised systems as needed. Symantec EDR can be deployed as a hardware appliance like the S550 series, a virtual appliance, or its software agent running on host systems to collect behavioural information for analysis by the central database.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Proactively identify stealthy threats using cutting-edge detection analytics powered by precision machine learning and global intelligence sources like MITRE ATT&CK enrichment to minimize false positives. Accelerate investigative productivity through automated playbooks that mimic the investigation methods of experienced security analysts and on-premise and cloud sandboxing capabilities that provide maximum investigative productivity gains.
Security teams can gain insight into user activity on over 40,000 managed and unmanaged apps, servers and devices – an invaluable capability in an increasingly digital work-from-home world. This enables them to detect and respond swiftly to cyberattacks across your control points such as SaaS, IaaS, UCaaS and email services.
Automate your operations with an automated workflow to connect all the business productivity solutions you already use without writing code. Ensure that key people get access to information at precisely the right moment while saving time and effort for your security team.
Why Xcitium EDR?
Xcitium EDR tools come equipped with databases where security teams can gain access to extensive details regarding past events on an endpoint, such as process creation, driver loading, recent connections and memory writing – providing valuable data that enables them to detect malware and any suspicious activities that might help prevent future attacks.
EDR solutions also feature containment capabilities that enable companies to avoid data loss by running unknown executables in a sandbox environment and making decisions regarding their safety or malignity before running them on devices or by workers. Xcitium’s ZeroDwell Containment technology uses the Verdict Cloud engine for testing unknown files instantly with minimal resource use. It features auto-isolation to minimize dwell times for ransomware, polymorphic malware and APT threats in environments.
