Rather than having multiple, stand-alone security solutions, stacked one on-top of the other, there are lots of benefits to choosing an integrated EPP and EDR solution. The point I making here is that you need a range of approaches - prevention, detection and response, so that if in the small number of cases that your prevention measures fail, you’ll still be able to react quickly to stop the breach.Īt Bitdefender, we believe that a comprehensive approach is the best for endpoint security.įor years we’ve had a fully-featured EDR solution contained within Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra. MITRE alerts, where credentials are being stolen and exfiltration attempts where the criminals are trying to get those valuable data out of the organization. Now, if we look at the blue circles we can see some of the EDR detections. Compare this to Process Inspector – this is next-generation technology that stops never-been-seen before threats at the on-execution stage by monitoring and stopping malicious behavior. Of course, with traditional antimalware, that requires that someone else has already been infected with this first payload, so that a signature can be produced that will stop further infections. Antimalware detects and stops the first payload – it’s still a valuable first line of defense. In the grey circles to the left of the page, are the preventative measures that Bitdefender uses to stop the attack in the early stages. This APT-as-a-service attack is also a useful example that we can use to compare prevention (endpoint protection) with EDR (endpoint detection and response) capabilities. How could a breach originating from your network affect your standing with your most important customer or business partner? You could even be the bait, the sprat to catch a mackerel - a component of a larger criminal strategy. Even if your organization is small, you may have large customers or partners. This means that as these sophisticated methods are becoming accessible to anyone with the resources to pay to steal your data - you need to consider that these types of attacks could be used against your business. This service puts sophisticated, nation state level attacks in the hands of anyone that can pay for them. In this case, the attack was being used to target real estate agents to steal valuable data that could allow a competitor to gain an advantage. You may have read Liviu’s blog where he wrote about an apt-as-a-service gang – basically rent-an-advanced-persistent-threat. EDR is mainly concerned with what’s to the right of the red dotted line on the attack chain below:ĮDR solutions bring additional visibility and insight on what is happening on your endpoints and also enable your security team to respond, quickly, to any cyber threats detected. Adding EDR helps organizations to effectively respond to all phases of a sophisticated attack. Endpoint Detection and Response tools are the best answer to this security challenge - acting as a complement to prevention measures. The consequences of late-discovered breaches can be serious with long-lasting and expensive negative impact on your business. What if all your prevention efforts fail?Ĭyber-attacks that manage to elude your prevention mechanisms can go unnoticed for weeks or even months. The attacker has the element of surprise and only needs to get it right once – you have to get your defenses right 100% of the time to stop breaches. Next generation approaches like machine learning and sandbox help, but it’s still an arms race. Protection and prevention measures keep getting better and better. We’ve been doing antivirus for years – anti-malware companies have always said that they can’t guarantee 100% prevention.
