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.

Advanced detection capabilities ensure that targeted attacks will be detected and blocked before they arrive at our network. SOAR integration has assisted our security team and management in trusting the product.
