Endpoint Detection and Response

Endpoint Security

Introduction

Endpoint security is one of the most critical components of any company’s cybersecurity strategy. As an organization, you have to ensure that the endpoints across your environment are secure and able to withstand threats from both inside and outside your network. Unfortunately, accomplishing this goal isn’t easy. The modern enterprise has more data than ever before, which makes identifying indicators of compromise (IoCs) like malware or malicious activity incredibly difficult. If you’re not careful, your company could be targeted by a cybercriminal who knows how to fly under the radar while wreaking havoc on your systems.

How do we know? We’ve seen it happen before with companies like Equifax and Target – they both had major data breaches because their endpoint security wasn’t up-to-date enough to detect the threats coming through their networks in real time. Fortunately for them (and us), Elastic Security provides all the tools necessary for finding these IoCs before they become an issue – whether it’s malware being downloaded onto a computer or someone downloading sensitive information off of yours!

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions today are incredibly complex.

Often times expensive to manage and require running an entire team dedicated to maintaining the tool.

As you search for an EDR solution, it’s important to keep in mind the following requirements:

  • The need to detect and respond to incidents. You want your EDR tool to be able to detect malware infections and other attacks on your endpoints. It should also be able to act as a central management console where you can view alerts, create tickets, and more.
  • The need for ease-of-use and maintenance. As with any security tool, you want one that is easy for operations teams or other non-technical staff members in your organization to use without requiring extensive training or support from IT professionals.
  • The need for scalability and cost effectiveness. If there are too many false positives generated by your EDR solution (for example), then this could cause headaches both in terms of time lost dealing with those false positives as well as resources wasted purchasing unnecessary licenses for additional agents needed when the initial agent is unable to handle all of them at once due its limited capacity limits imposed by its vendor/vendor’s support services staff).

We believe security doesn’t have to be this hard.

We believe security doesn’t have to be this hard. Over the last five years, Elastic Security has been built from the ground up to address the challenges of running security analytics at scale. It combines all of your existing sensors into one unified platform that can be deployed across on-premises and public cloud environments.

Elastic Security is a cloud-based endpoint protection solution built for modern IT environments: it’s easy to deploy, manage, and monitor; it scales seamlessly as your organization grows—and it delivers actionable insights that give you an edge against today’s sophisticated cyberthreats.

Understad what normal looks like in your environment. 

One of the biggest challenges in securing your environment is knowing what good behavior looks like. The first step to improving your security posture is by understanding what normal looks like in your environment. With Elastic Endpoint Security, you can ingest data from every sensor in your environment to create a complete picture of what good behavior looks like. You can then utilize this knowledge to quickly detect and respond to incidents across your entire infrastructure.

So how do we do it?

By using advanced machine learning techniques and an extension of our SIEM workflow, Elastic Security makes it easy to find indicators of compromise while keeping up with the ever-changing threat landscape. On top of that, you can automate your incident response process by creating playbooks that trigger in real time and reduce the average time it takes for your team to respond.

While it’s critical to be able to detect and respond to threats, it can be overwhelming for your team. With Elastic Security, we make it easy by automatically detecting indicators of compromise across your entire infrastructure and automating playbooks based on the size of the threat. This means that you can focus on what matters most: stopping attacks before they affect your business or users.

Elastic Security uses machine learning techniques to detect threats with fewer false positives so you don’t have to worry about missing a real attack. On top of that, you get highly detailed forensic data that makes investigating incidents even easier—and more effective—by giving you access not only to system logs and traditional AV attributes but also behavioral analytics derived from user behavior over time (like when and where an attacker logged into their account).
