Featured Reviews

Rene Schouten. - PeerSpot reviewer
Harnesses anomaly detection and automated response for efficient threat management
I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures. The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses. It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume. Additionally, the solution supports annual audits and ensures compliance.
Daniel Durian - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps to monitor and detect cyberattacks
The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick. Trellix ESM provides situation awareness. On the dashboard, I can see outbound and inbound communications to known threat hosts, IPS/IDS activity, and threat intelligence of the perimeter defense in the firewall. This information helps preempt attacks.
