Assessment Pillar 1
Endpoint Visibility & Telemetry Depth
Endpoints are continuously monitored across processes, files, registry, and network activity. Real-time telemetry is collected from both managed and unmanaged endpoints. Endpoint activity can be reconstructed into full attack timelines. Detection operates even when endpoints are off network. Low-level system events (kernel/process activity) are captured for deep analysis. If endpoint visibility is shallow, threats will go undetected until impact occurs.
Assessment Pillar 2
Detection Accuracy & Behavioral Analysis
Detection goes beyond signatures to identify behavioral anomalies. Baseline behavior is established for users and endpoints. Suspicious deviations trigger high-confidence alerts. Threat detection aligns with attacker techniques and behaviors. False positives are minimized through contextual detection. If detection lacks behavioral depth, analysts spend time chasing noise instead of real threats.
Assessment Pillar 3
Investigation & Forensic Capabilities
Analysts can investigate endpoint activity from a single interface. Full forensic data (process history, memory, file activity) is accessible. Attack paths and root causes can be reconstructed quickly. Historical endpoint data is retained for retrospective analysis. Threat hunting can be performed across endpoints efficiently. Without strong forensics, investigations slow down and threat of containment is delayed.
Assessment Pillar 4
Response & Containment Capabilities
Compromised endpoints can be isolated immediately. Malicious processes can be terminated remotely. Files can be quarantined or removed automatically. User sessions can be revoked when suspicious activity is detected. Response actions are automated through predefined playbooks. If response actions require manual intervention, attackers gain valuable time.
Assessment Pillar 5
Automation & Operational Efficiency
Routine alert triage and enrichment are automated. Alerts are enriched with relevant context before reaching analysts. Investigation workflows reduce repetitive manual steps. Automated actions support faster decision-making. Analysts spend more time investigating than collecting data. If your team repeats the same steps for every alert, efficiency is limited.
Assessment Pillar 6
Integration & Extended Detection
Endpoint data is correlated with network, cloud, or identity signals. Security tools share intelligence without manual integration. Alerts are grouped into meaningful incidents. Detection insights are unified across multiple security layers. The EDR solution fits into a broader XDR or integrated architecture. Isolated endpoint tools create fragmented visibility and slow response.
