Automated and manual threat analysis provides deep insights for potential threat remediation

The most valuable features of Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer include manual and auto-submission. The sandbox analyzer provides a combination of technologies including machine learning-based technologies. Network analytics is performed, and the tool analyzes using threat feeds. Manual and automated submissions allow suspicious files or URLs to be analyzed thoroughly, providing deep insights for further investigation. This information is crucial for making informed decisions on remediating potential threats.

Has improved email security through advanced filtration and timely threat detection

I work with Trend Micro Apex One. I have used the Deep Discovery's Sandbox analysis feature, and we utilize another appliance known as Deep Discovery Analyzer, abbreviated as DDA. This tool makes analysis for URLs and attachments contained in inbound emails, so whenever we receive an email with a URL or attachment, it will be analyzed by Trend Micro Deep Discovery Analyzer. In evaluating Deep Discovery's real-time visibility on network traffic, it is important to note that we applied our Deep Discovery Analyzer for Trend Micro to conduct sandboxing specifically for email channels only, and we do not utilize it for network channels. For network channel sandboxing, we use a solution called FortiAnalyzer, which belongs to another team called network security. I assess Deep Discovery's effectiveness in identifying sophisticated attack patterns by looking at how it handles high traffic loads, and how effectively it can use its instances and images to analyze numerous URLs and attachments simultaneously. Additionally, I evaluate its ability to maintain round-robin or load balancing across different analyses without leaving samples queued for analysis. The performance is critical when the product updates for signatures are up-to-date, as this aids in the detection and classification of URLs and attachments without delay in the analysis process. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Trend Micro Deep Discovery a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitdefender has shown fantastic stability over the past eight years with no major incidents reported."

"I like the fact that it works pretty well. It can be a little aggressive at times, but I'd rather have it be a little bit aggressive than not catch what it's supposed to catch. We've been running that platform for about five years, and we've not really had any viruses or malware get through. It's also easy to set up, and it's easy to manage."

"The solution is useful in the event of a gray file or grayware, as there are certain files users may download of which we know little about."

"Sandbox Analyzer is easy to use. It's simple to drill down into the data. In a lot of the competing products, an extremely informed end-user can do battle with the tools provided, but in today's market, end-users have less and less time to try and keep up. The CSAW alerts come out every day, and they're huge. Adobe did a master patch last Thursday and another one a few days later."

"It is easy to use, and there is a lot of automation. So, users don't need to worry about that."

"Sandboxing gives us a chance to identify malicious behavior, especially for unknown vulnerabilities, although it's rarely needed as a last resort after all other security measures have failed."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."

"This solution allows us to see anomalies, network traffic in our network, and zero-day threats."

"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."

"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery Email Inspector includes its ability to perform mail detection and mail filtration against various email attacks such as phishing and spam, serving as an email gateway for both inbound and outbound traffic."

"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."

Cons

"We would like to see the time it takes for the sandbox to analyze a file reduced from its ten or fifteen minute duration to five."

"One area that needs improvement in Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer is the addition of an asset management feature."

"We propose the on-premises solution to most of our customers, for which we must provide a license, although no such request accompanies customers who want a cloud-based solution."

"It does everything we need. We haven't been able to throw anything at it that it couldn't handle."

"It would be better if there were real-time alerts. The whole suite, unlike most anti-virus consoles that just ping you when there's an infection or something, for some inexplicable reason, Bitdefender doesn't do that. The most you could do is get an hourly email, or maybe if there's an outbreak that affects 30% of our machines, it sends me an email. There's no real-time alert to say, "Hey, so-and-so literally 30 seconds ago just had this happen on their machine." Real-time reporting would be a huge improvement. All in all, it's a pretty nice product, generally speaking. They do a pretty good job. They can pretty much go toe to toe with just about anybody. But it's that kind of real-time nature. I've not had occasion to use the EDR portion to actually try and do any kind of custom scripting to drill into things that are going on at the endpoints. But my understanding from reading comments of others is that it's not particularly flexible in that regard to be able to do things like that."

"It should be more secure. There should be more protection, especially for non-signature-based malware. It works fine for non-signature-based malware, but I expect it to become a bit more advanced to be able to cope with future or upcoming environments."

"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."

"The scalability is sometimes limited."

"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."

"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."

"There are certain aspects of flexibility in the policies that should be added to Deep Discovery."

"The price range is a little high."

"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."

"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think it's probably less expensive than something like CrowdStrike. We got a really good deal because it was literally their year-end, and they were trying to close all the sales for the week. So we bought a three-year contract from them. It roughly ended up costing me somewhere around $17 for an endpoint per year. It was really quite a nice pricing. I've talked to other folks where they got CrowdStrike, and it's like $60 for an endpoint for a year. It does, and they can be pretty aggressive if you're dealing with them directly, and I have. So no complaints there."

"You need a license to a certain extent. You need to pay for advanced features. For corporate accounts, it isn't is really a problem, but pricing is an important thing for many companies."

"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."

"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."

"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."

"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."

"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."

"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
