Detailed sandbox reports have strengthened investigations and now provide clearer threat decisions
The additional quota was a factor that led us to consider a change; we went from five detonations per day to 250 per month. Multi-platform analysis in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox has helped identify threats. The effectiveness of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox has been roughly 90 to 100 percent for our operations. Custom indicators of compromise in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox add to our cybersecurity strategy; it is a small part of the strategy, but it plays a significant part in keeping all of the tenants that we have onboarded up to date on relevant files that we are seeing in our environment. That memory forensic capability in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not something we utilize significantly, but we know of its importance. We utilize memory forensics sometimes in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox to review the entropy snapshot; if we see a high level of entropy in the Sandbox report, that could lead to a decision that the file is most likely suspicious, but we use that as an additional item to review. Regarding how features of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox have benefited my organization, there is a real-time feature in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox, so we can deploy the operating system of choice; we can also analyze archived files, and those features have been helpful as we can interact with the file in certain ways and get additional interaction metrics. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox overall as a solution at a nine out of ten. A higher interaction time with the file would give CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox a ten out of ten for us. If you utilize Falcon Endpoint Protection, I would highly recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox because the telemetry goes hand-in-hand with that other product.

Stops ransomware before it executes and reduces response time for the team
A potential area of improvement for Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is their focus on file uploads and large data storage, backups, and other related areas. It is difficult to think of what they could improve, but low information provided by the system when it detects something is one area, particularly in scripting. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware. It is really about helping us triage incidents effectively, so a bit more help with the analysis of incidents, particularly what the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform agent has discovered, would be beneficial. We need to know what it has spotted that makes it suspect malware.
