About Xcitium Endpoint Detection & Resonse

Xcitium's Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platform, also referred to within the cybersecurity industry as Endpoint Detection and Threat Response (EDTR), represents an advanced endpoint solution designed for the continuous monitoring of endpoint devices. This solution aims to detect and respond effectively to a wide array of major threats, including but not limited to malware and ransomware. The essence of Xcitium EDR encompasses not just the identification and virtual containment of an attack but extends into providing comprehensive insights into the attack mechanism. This includes a detailed understanding of how the attack transpired, identification of existing vulnerabilities, and strategies to bolster defenses against future threats.

At its core, the EDR platform functions through a sophisticated mechanism involving an agent installed across endpoint devices. This agent works in tandem with a central management console and leverages a cloud-based analytics service. The primary role of the agent is to monitor activities on the endpoint, relaying this data back to the console. Here, the analytics service performs an analysis to identify potential threats.
The platform is distinguished by key EDR functions common across vendors, albeit with variations depending on the specific vendor. These functions primarily include threat detection, wherein EDR solutions employ a combination of behavioral analytics, heuristics, and machine learning algorithms to identify suspicious or malicious activity. Upon detection of a threat, the EDR solution can initiate actions to mitigate the risk, such as quarantining infected files, isolating the infected device from the network, or purging malicious files. Furthermore, EDR platforms are equipped to provide detailed reporting and alerts, facilitating swift administrative action to mitigate threats.

When selecting an EDR solution, considerations should center on the solution's efficacy in detecting and responding to threats, its impact on system performance, and its rate of false positives. An optimal EDR solution should demonstrate a high detection rate for both known and emerging threats, while maintaining system performance and keeping false positives to a minimum.

The benefits of deploying an EDR solution are multifaceted. Increased visibility into endpoint activity, enhanced detection capabilities, faster response times, improved forensic data for incident investigation, and reduced false positives collectively serve to fortify an organization's cybersecurity posture.

Implementation of EDR within an organization entails defining specific security goals, selecting an appropriate EDR platform that aligns with these goals, deploying the system across the environment, configuring detection rules to identify suspicious activities effectively, and reviewing alerts diligently to respond to threats accordingly.

The Xcitium EDR platform underscores the importance of not just detection but also containment of threats in a "ZeroDwell" time environment, challenging the conventional detection-first approaches in cybersecurity. By employing ZeroDwell Containment, Xcitium advocates for a preemptive containment of unknown threats through virtualization, thus enhancing the effectiveness of traditional EDR functions with heightened awareness, visibility, and remediation capabilities.

In conclusion, Xcitium's Endpoint Detection and Response platform offers a comprehensive, analytical approach to cybersecurity, empowering organizations to stay ahead of threats through advanced detection, response, and containment strategies.

Advanced protection solution against malware

It provides sophisticated cyber threat protection against both known and unknown ransomware by denying all applications unless it scans them for any suspected malware. It restricts and contains every application and file which are likely to be infected into the sandbox. It uses API hooking to track virus behavior. It also provides anti-theft features and allows you to wipe data from your stolen device. You can protect both your virtual and physical endpoints.

Pros

This program allows its users to manage all the computers used in a company from one host computer where you can make policies form a single computer and apply them to all the connected computers and devices. This reduces the time consumption and extended manual efforts of users. It acts as antivirus and protects your systems from any bad or infected files by moving them to whitelists or blacklists accordingly.

Cons

It automatically restricts all applications in sandbox containers and you have to manually add such applications to whitelists, also it seems to be incapable of recognizing any new or custom-built applications. Patch management for multiple servers seems a little problematic. Overall it is worth recommending to all the organizations to keep full end security.

I like the product. It feature reach and include every security component that need to be installed on the host

Pros

We start using Comodo almost years ago, when we switch from Symantec Endpoint Manager. Ability to have Cloud Management, and also run unknown files in containers attract me to try the product. Since we implement a product number of reported incidents decreased a lot

Cons

After device was off-line for long period of time, automatic definitions download doesn't work perfectly most of the time and you need to initiate it manually

Overall we transitioned to ESET as we found greater value for the cost from ESET. The management, product removal and security analysis was lacking and after the decision to remove the product from our systems proved troublesome and resulted in malfunction in our systems.

Pros

The product was very resilient against attempt to uninstall or disable the security software. Normally a very good sign for a product in security.

Cons

We found the product was inefficient and that the resilience against removal cause malfunction in our systems when trying to perform uninstall performed by system administrator. In addition we found the features offered were lack luster for the cost.

Reasons for Switching to Xcitium Endpoint Detection & Resonse

We eventually moved away from Comodo and adopted ESET instead.
