Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Centralized endpoint control has strengthened defense in depth across our distributed branches
When considering features or capabilities of Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations that I have found most valuable, it appears similar to other vendors, and I don't find a unique feature in it as it looks comparable to any other EDR solution. However, we purchased it because we have had Kaspersky Endpoint for 10 years, so it has fantastic integration between EDR and the endpoint. Additionally, Kaspersky is one of the famous leaders in endpoint protection in the world. The centralized management console of Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations has helped me streamline my security protocols significantly. This helps me a great deal because we are a large enterprise and we need centralization. It simplifies operations for us. We have many branches around Cairo, which is the capital of Egypt, and because we need centralization, we cannot perform our tasks without it.

Endpoint monitoring has strengthened incident response and provides rapid isolation and forensics
Tanium provides an endpoint which is isolated from the network and environment. We can easily search its logs and history and connect remotely directly to that particular device which has been isolated from the network. We can search for the history and logs, including audit logs and event logs. The complete activity of the user or owner of the device is visible to us. We can see the artifacts of particular USB transfers internally for official use. We can not only connect remotely but also see the device status and how many failures have occurred within the network so far. We can see the IP address, how many times it has changed its IP address, and how many times it was connected to VPN or external VPN or internal VPN and what has been searched while on VPN. We can block the IOCs or IP addresses as well. We can block domains, hashes, SHA values, SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-5 and MD5. Although I am not completely involved in the automation team, we do have that team and I have worked in some CERT recently. Tanium is more useful while we are in the CERT because most of the times when we are on high alert, Tanium does play a main role for that particular incident or any high case. Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint. It is mandatory to give any RDP connection and the tool should be present in the particular device. It is completely mandatory and it is in the policy as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"All features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud are perfect, and I am interested in working with Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud."
"The product works perfectly to prevent malware in our organization."
"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."
"In terms of software performance, it has been effective in providing good security."
"We had the cloud suite of KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud, and its monitoring was fine."
"It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a very good solution for endpoint protection."
"In Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, anti-phishing and anti-malware are two very powerful aspects."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium is highly scalable."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"It's definitely not complex, it is pretty user-friendly and it's a solid tool enterprise to use."
"Tanium’s best features include support for any Windows, Linux, or Mac endpoint, regardless of where it is, and the ability to do IT operations and security operations."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
 

Cons

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Kaspersky's cloud solution should be improved because the on-premises features are unavailable in the cloud."
"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware."
"Recently, there was a company which was attacked by phishing emails, and out of 10, it was only blocking three emails."
"Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations could be improved if it depended more on artificial intelligence, as other vendors such as CrowdStrike do."
"Its high CPU usage also slows down devices, particularly those with lower specifications like Core i3."
"Sometimes, the tool consumes a lot of resources from the endpoints, making it an area of concern where improvements are required since it currently consumes a little bit of RAM."
"Recent upgrades have occurred, but some customers question why certain options are disabled."
"One area where the product could be improved is in its delivery and installation process."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"In my opinion, sometimes it takes a long time to give solutions or resolve the issue."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"There are downsides and drawbacks in Tanium, and there is room for improvement from my perspective."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
