Many methods and technologies have been developed from past to present for endpoint / device security. As technology develops, some solutions become obsolete, leaving their place to new ones. Antivirus technologies have protected our systems against external interventions for many years. Like any technology, these software technologies are also obsolete.
Among the biggest reasons for its obsolescence are its inability to adapt itself to rapid updates, its low ability in the face of new generation attacks, its difficulty in detecting file-independent attacks, and the release of 903 million “zero day” malware into our cyber world every year. AV leaves its place to EPP solutions.
EPP (Enpoint Protection Platform) is designed to detect and block threats on endpoint devices. It includes anti-virus, anti-malware, data encryption, personal firewalls, intrusion prevention and data loss prevention techniques. EDR solutions appear at the point where EPP solutions cannot adapt to speed.
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) technologies have become a more effective and fast actionable technology with the ability to hunt for attacks by following attack methods, not attacks, isolating an infected system from within the organization, and providing information to system administrators with responses during the event. .
We have compiled the key features you should consider when investing in a new EDR Technology.
⦁ Exploit Based Attack Detection: Detection of “unknown” vulnerabilities that have not yet been patched, especially in new software.
⦁ Real Time Monitoring of Your Activities: You can monitor and report anomalies and activities occurring on your endpoint devices from the moment the transaction occurs.
⦁ Behavior Analysis and Machine Learning: It protects you against possible threats by analyzing the behavior of operations on your systems with machine learning.
⦁ PowerShell Intrusion Detection: This type of attack, which creates a major security vulnerability, especially when Windows computers find the Powershell codes harmless, can prevent the attack by identifying the codes on the file.
⦁ Unknown Files or Applications Analysis: When a new unknown file type is encountered, it can read the content of the file and determine whether it contains a malicious piece of code.
⦁ Integration Skill: It can generate automatic alarms and take action by talking to other security devices in your institution.
⦁ Registry, Network Traffic and Transaction Monitoring: You can detect changes made in real time and whether these changes are harmful.
⦁ Anomaly Detection: You can detect and remove a malware that wants to hide from your system.
⦁ Writing IOC or YARA Rules: You can set rules according to your institution and take automatic action against these rules.
⦁ Easy Manageability: You can easily apply rules to all your endpoints.
⦁ Operating System Support: You can provide complete security at all endpoints of your organization.
⦁ Integration with AV/EPP solutions: You can bring many solutions to your institution by purchasing a single solution.
⦁ Ransomware Intrusion Detection: You can detect and prevent possible ransomware attack on your systems, or you can restore your systems with the "Roll Back" feature for an infected endpoint.
⦁ Automatic Threat Prevention: You can reduce the burden of your system administrators or SOC teams.
⦁ Remote Controllability: You can manage and monitor your systems instantly even when you are not in your institution.
⦁ Reporting: You can report routinely or privately and share it with your team.
⦁ Receiving RAM Image You can remotely obtain RAM image from endpoints in your organization and share it with your analysts.
