Integration of multiple firewalls enables advanced threat detection

The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable. Cybereason XDR facilitates two-way communication, where the firewall sends data to the Cybereason system, and it can communicate with the firewall to stop unwanted communication. Customers can deal with multiple types of firewalls with ease. The behavioral analytics help detect advanced threats when attackers use existing software. The multilayered protection approach, including NGAV, integrates XDR detection with antivirus to assess and counter threats effectively.

Reliable and good support but can be expensive

I have no real complaints about the solution. Threat detection could be better. They need to enhance their threat intelligence feeds. We would like to have more IOCs or more trade intelligence to not only rely on the intelligence of the engineer in charge but to have some threat intelligence and some seeds of IOCs and to have the host have some artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives. I don't see this solution being very scalable. The solution is pricey.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."

"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."

"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."

"It's a scalable solution. We have around five to eight customers using RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and we hope to increase the number of users."

"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."

"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."

"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."

"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."

"Technical support is knowledgeable."

"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."

"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."

Cons

"Cybereason's customer support could be better."

"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."

"Customer service is rated as a five out of ten. When they work and reach the right level, they are helpful, but getting to the right person can be time-consuming."

"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."

"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."

"The contamination feature could be improved."

"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."

"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."

"Threat detection could be better."

"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."

"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."

"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."

"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."

"The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."

"It is an expensive product."

"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."

"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."

"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."

"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
