Cisco EDR- Advanced Threat Detection and Response System for Enterprise Security

More than 58% of organizations worldwide allow their employees to work remotely. They offer flexibility, but this change brings the biggest cyber security challenge. According to Ponemon Institute Research, the risk of malware infection increased by up to 32 percent, and criminals get access to remote devices for the attack on the network by up to 26%.

The best way to overcome this challenge is to get cloud-based endpoint protection, which Cisco EDR offers. This endpoint tool offers advanced threat detection and response with multi-domain control points. Let's continue reading and how this endpoint security solution let organization deal with rising cyber threats.

• This EDR has a built-in SecureX™ platform that can reduce threat detection and response time to a great extent. Your security team can take less time to analyze and respond to a threat. It's how you can boost up productivity level.
• This unified threat detection solution is designed to prevent and block malware and breaches by continuously monitoring and analyzing files, processes, and activities across all endpoints.
• If a threat bypasses a front-line defense such as a firewall or antivirus, it will be readily detected, contained, and remediated through Cisco EDR.

Key Features of Cisco Endpoint Security Solution

Here are some main features of this EDR software:

PreventionCapabilities

The Cisco Endpoint tool will prevent threats in real-time by using some advanced preventative techniques such as:

• File reputation: This software contains a database of ever-seen malware and malicious file. It can readily detect known malware without scanning any process.
• Antivirus: It constantly updates anti-malware programs so that the system admin can enforce blocklist and get top-level control capabilities over the known threat. Your endpoints will be protected online and offline as a signature-based detection database is installed locally on endpoints.
• Polymorphic malware detection: Cybercriminals bring different variations of the same malware, and thankfully, this tool can easily detect them through loose fingerprinting.
• Machine learning analysis: This technology can learn the behavior of files and activities. Thereby, it becomes easy for Cisco EDR to detect and prevent never-before-seen malware at the point of entry.

Detection Capabilities

Cisco Endpoint Detection and response solution continuously monitors endpoints to offer robust detection against known and unknown threats. Here is what it offers to your security team:

• Malicious activity protection: If the Endpoint discovers any ransomware attack, it readily terminates the process and prevents endpoint encryption. As a result, the attack doesn't spread or cause any damage.
• Cloud-based IOC: Cisco EDR empowers security to analyze with threat intelligence and indicators of compromise data. It becomes easy for them to check forensic data and use it to identify the system, file, and process where the breach happened.
• Host-based IoCs: IT Admin can use their own IoCs to create an incident response plan and to detect otherwise unknown threats.

Threat hunting Capabilities

SecureX Threat Hunting is a new feature available for an enterprise that gets Premier License with Secure Endpoint. This feature offers threat context to your security team. They can understand the complete narrative of an attack, like how it was spotted or evolved in the system. Besides, this tool lets your IT admin define a response. Xcitium EDR also provides a similar advanced threat-hunting tool. You can hunt for unknown and known threats through this endpoint security solution.

Secure Endpoint Response

If an advanced threat slips past your security, then it's important to deal with this breach. CiscoEDR makes it easy for you to identify the scope of an attack. Your security engineer can easily identify endpoints and employ response tools to handle security breaches efficiently. Here is how this tool helps your team:

Dashboards and inbox: When your team starts investigating an attack, they need a complete report about events and incidents. It's where you get complete reports from this single dashboard. All the events on endpoints are prioritized, so your team doesn't have to decide which Endpoint needs your immediate attention. Reports are not limited to event enumeration and aggregation.

Endpoint isolation

Another feature of Cisco EDR is that it readily isolates a compromised endpoint and lets you analyze your threat. You can perform an advanced search to investigate an incident. Your team can run complex queries on all or each Endpoint. The team can quickly analyze an event and respond to the threat without wasting time.

Wrap up

Cisco EDR brings top-notch endpoint security by offering advanced detection, prevention, isolation, and analysis tools. However, it doesn't offer security alerts like Xcitium EDR. But it certainly works for you when you need a cloud-based threat prevention and detection solution. Getting a new license is always suggested, so your team can proactively hunt a threat with SecureX Threat Hunting.
