What is Cybereason Defense Platform?

Cybereason EDR consolidates intelligence about each attack into a Malop (malicious operation), a contextualized view of the full narrative of an attack. Each Malop organizes the relevant attack data into an easy-to-read, interactive graphical interface, providing a complete timeline, the flow of the attack in the network, and any malicious communications. Remediation actions can be automated or accomplished remotely with a click.

The Cybereason Defense Platform empowers analysts of all skill levels to dig into the details of an attack without crafting complicated queries and pivot directly from investigating a Malop to remediating affected machines. With Cybereason EDR, analysts can execute a full suite of remediation actions from machine isolation and process killing to removing persistence mechanisms, all from within a point and click interface.
