We have been using Kaspersky EDR Optimum for over 10 years, with the evolution of products reaching EDR now, we can verify the integrated responsiveness and visibility of our environment. Great protection tool on all OS. Very good value for money, with the new licensing, all business plans will now have native EDR.
I would say, where it's well suited as certainly any device where you know that either you're potentially running a Kickstarter device as your own personal unit, but maybe you want to try to connect it to some resource like, "Hey, you know what? This is a small community device. Maybe I'll try connecting my email on the go." You're protected from that perspective with the vendor, even if it's something that might be a bit suspicious from a hardware perspective. There's also the case where any device that you know are running Defender for endpoint that you're good to go. You don't really have to worry about all the other solutions out there because Defender has recovered.
KEDR Optimum is helping to see threat kill chain formation, which helps to get clear picture of the what exactly attacker was trying to do during attack.
We are crating prevent execution rules to block the threat in our complete infra.
Ioc scan to validate and remove the any active threat entry from our endpoints
It integrates perfectly with Azure Sentinel. I mean, that's great. We can have a single pane of class with other platforms, like Defender for Cloud, Defender for endpoints, and Defender for servers, which is awesome as well. The ease of deployment is because Microsoft made sure around a year ago that every single workstation with Microsoft Windows came with Defender for Endpoints embedded.
While it's a very good product for auditing, it has a very hard time to distinguish what is malicious and is an attack, what is not. Very rarely we get indication of a real malicious attack. We got lots of hours for off the shelf malware that it cleans up automatically. So basically we never get to look at it, which is a positive thing, but threats are detected by the third party endpoint, so it will not be enough by itself.
At the moment and unfortunately we'll not renew our licenses, due to the Russian conflict and the company policy that has forced us to get rid of any Russian related product. Before that incident, we were very happy with the product and we did not even think once about changing it... Maybe on the future...
This item can always be improved, perhaps by pre-elaborating very long reports, such that they are built progressively so that when the user wants to consult them, the delay is minimal. It would also be interesting to have a warehouse of reports, which serves as a repository where they can be consulted whenever needed, adding AI capabilities that allow data to be linked together and improve the analysis and possible correlations of events.
The first time I tried to onboard my macOS endpoints to MDE I struggled for quite a bit. I had to reach out to Microsoft's MDE support team. The tech was very helpful in walking me through the steps during a screen share session
After several evaluations we concluded that the kasprsky provider has a solution for each processing environment we have.This impacts an excellent cost-benefit for achieving economies of scale on the company's infrastructure. On the other hand, we verified that during its operation, its level of effectiveness in terms of malware detection is excellent. Finally, it provides a desktop patch management solution that we found efficient and effective. Allowing you to automate the distribution of patches with a minimum staffing of technical personnel.
Tenable Security Center was a fantastic exposure detection tool but there was always a lag and servers would hang alot when being scanned causing resource traffic. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on the other hand does not use up most resources soo there is usually noo lag during scanning and it also provide more detailed insights on the network. Also Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integration power has helped us up our security game by delivering a smooth secure network.
Positive : Microsoft Defender for Endpoint offers sophisticated threat detection and response capabilities, putting it into use helps increase security. Reduced security incidents, data breaches, and related expenses may arise from this.
Positive : A more secure environment means less time and effort spent by IT and security teams on remediation and incident response.
False Positives: Like any security solution, false positives can occur, leading to unnecessary investigations and potential disruptions to business operations. This may require additional resources to manage.
