Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers comprehensive incident visualization and quick response capabilities but requires clearer dashboard interface
I am an Information Security Engineer at NHQ Distribution Limited and a partner of Trellix. I work with different products in Trellix, including Trellix EDR, SDR, and MDR. Trellix Active Response is the EDR solution from Trellix that has moved from an on-premise solution to a cloud solution. The Trellix MDR solution is helpful for SOC analysis and is integrated with Trellix EDR and SDR capabilities, providing full visibility of threat detection and hunting and detection response correlating with other solutions like endpoint security and encryption. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Trellix Active Response an eight.
