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.
Malware that doesn’t leave files behind has become widely available. Anyone who can afford to reverse this trend should purchase technology. Application whitelisting isn’t for everyone, and Palo Alto Networks Traps can help. Enterprises looking for a low-affected, next-generation solution with high protection should consider it. PAN Traps is a great product at a reasonable price, and I highly recommend it.
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
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...
Cortex XDR does a very good job of blocking suspicious and threatening items. However, as with all software of this nature, it will sometimes block known-good items. The difficulty is in manually whitelisting these known-good items. The interface to whitelist is confusing even for a seasoned IT professional and has been the single most frustrating experience of using Cortex XDR
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 support we receive from Palo Alto is one of the best aspects of Traps. It is very easy to recommend their support. It seems much easier to connect directly with someone with a deep understanding of the product rather than other companies where you basically have to make an airtight case that it is some kind of non-standard issue that can't be solved with existing documentation. Palo Alto digs deep and helps with advanced troubleshooting to get things working.
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.
Traps is the slickest interface, easy to use and intuitive rule making, and the rest just didn't quite stack up to the performance level of Traps. McAfee and Kaspersky just hog processor and RAM power. I didn't like the interface and functionality of SentinelOne as much as Traps. Palo Alto really put a lot of time into the development of this software, and had some of the founding fathers of IT Security heading the development process. Can't beat that.
