Why EDR Alerts Aren’t Enough: The Case for BUFFERZONE® Safe Workspace™
By BUFFERZONE Team, 30/08/2023
The subject of discussion pertains to cybersecurity and the potential inadequacy of relying exclusively on Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) alerts that are transmitted to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system for identifying threats and the inadequate response time. Therefore, it is essential to explore the benefits of using BUFFERZONE Safe Workspace™ as an additional measure to strengthen one’s defense against such threats.
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, it is more important than ever to have comprehensive endpoint security solutions in place. While EDR solutions are effective at detecting and alerting you to potential threats, Security Operation Center (SoCs) still depend on detection and assuming a threat is detected a response is required. At this point it is too late and the damage is done due to inadequate response times & user downtime. That is where BUFFERZONE® Safe Workspace comes in.
Unlike EDR solutions, which rely on detecting potential threats, BUFFERZONE Safe Workspace™ provides a virtual barrier around your endpoints. This means that if a threat is present, it is isolated within the container, preventing it from spreading to the rest of your network. BUFFERZONE Safe Workspace is a proactive solution that goes beyond just detecting threats and prevents them from ever causing harm in the first place.
One of the biggest advantages of BUFFERZONE® Safe Workspace™ is that it can protect against zero-day attacks. BUFFERZONE container isolation provides an additional layer of protection against these types of attacks, keeping your business safe.
Another advantage of BUFFERZONE Safe Workspace™ is that it is easy to deploy and manage. Unlike other endpoint security solutions, BUFFERZONE Safe Workspace™ does not require complex configurations or extensive training. It can be easily integrated with your existing security infrastructure, providing an additional layer of protection without disrupting your business operations.
In summary, while EDR solutions help detect and respond to potential threats, they can create extra work for security teams. The need for more cybersecurity professionals makes it a complicated task. By using application isolation technology, organizations can simplify and minimize their exposure to risk without affecting the user’s experience. BUFFERZONE Safe Workspace™ provides physical protection around vulnerable user activities such as web browsing, emails, and USB storage devices, offering a simple solution for IT and security teams.
