Knock on wood we haven't had a instance where we need to bring the Rapid Response team in. But from the meetings we had we are certain that they will be a valuable asset if and when we have an incident.

To check every process executed in the machine for a specified range.

We were a Secureworks customer and there were limitations on the platform that caused us to evaluate competitors. We didn't get to far in discussions with Palo but from what we heard and reach about Sophos RR it was an easy decision.

CB Response allows for a better view of what happened on the endpoint and provides more functionality out of the box then the FireEye Endpoint Security Product. CB Response allows you to basically have a remote connection into the CLI of an endpoint. This allows you to view the file system, run programs/scripts on the host, etc. FireEye Endpoint Security does not have this functionality.

  • It took some time in deploying in the environment , but that time is much worth it because of the results we are getting now.
