We use Cylance in conjunction with two other products. We have ArcticWolf for monitoring the machines at an even finer detail than Cylance (they can pick up things that can be missed). We also use Cisco Umbrella to block potentially malicious DNS queries. The combination of …

Chose Cybereason Defense Platform
Cybereason provides superior protection than either Microsoft or CrowdStrike and a better TCO. We receive less false positives than with Microsoft Defender and Cybereason is easier for level 1 users to use.

If you’re looking for a solution that enables mapping to maturity along with a specific framework and timeline, then Optics definitely makes that easier. If you have a small team and not a lot of spare time, then Optics may force some prioritization work on your team.

Cybereason is good at detections and has some false positives, but when we need their support, it's too slow. My team used to test Cybereason, submitting lots of malware and threats, trying to find problems, and for research purposes. In my experience, every time we found a bug, their support team denied the problems and took lots of weeks to give some answer when we insisted.

We use Cylance in conjunction with two other products. We have ArcticWolf for monitoring the machines at an even finer detail than Cylance (they can pick up things that can be missed). We also use Cisco Umbrella to block potentially malicious DNS queries. The combination of these three products helps us feel much more secure than if we had just one.
