Lack of visibility is the primary reason why organisations struggle to understand the scope and impact of attacks. The investigation process can be a slow and painful one. This of course assumes an investigation occurs at all. Incident response traditionally relies heavily on highly-skilled human analysts. Most EDR tools also rely heavily on analysts to know which questions to ask and how to interpret the answers. However, with Deep Learning enabled EDR, security teams of all skill levels can quickly respond to security incidents thanks to guided investigations that offer suggested next steps, clear visual attack representations and built-in expertise. It adds expertise without adding headcount By a large margin, organisations looking to add endpoint detection and response capabilities cite ‘staff knowledge’ as the top impediment to EDR adoption. To combat the staff knowledge gap Deep Learning enabled EDR replicates the capabilities associated with hard-to-find analysts. It leverages Machine Learning to integrate deep security insight, so organisations can add expertise without having to add staff. It helps in understanding how an attack happened and how to stop it from happening again Threat cases, included with EDR, spotlight all the events that led up to a detection, making it easy to understand which files, processes and registry keys were touched by the malware to determine the impact of an attack. More importantly, by understanding the root cause of an attack, the IT team will be much more likely to prevent it from ever happening again. u 76 Issue 11 | www.intelligentciso.com
