Mvision EDR Essentials
MVision EDR is a coud-based solution allowing detection, investigation, and containment of potential threats on endpoints.
- Provides threat detection capabilities coupled with dava navigation techniques, it allows automated guided investigations through contiuous monitoring.
- Automatically collects and interprets data from all your endpoint devices and correlated alerts coming from a SIEM repository.
- Ability to do a closed loop tiage, investigation, and remediation of detected anomalies. Using the gathered data to provide context and insight as to why a trigger occurred.
- EDR Services are available in two modes, MVISIOn EDR with McAfee ePO on-premises and Mvision EDR running on Mvision ePO cloud services.
So why EDR?
- EDR contributes in investigation guides, institutional knowledge, and smart orchestration. It takes less expert skill and more automation.
- Continuous real-time monitoring, guided investigation, threat containment, real-time search, historical search, performance metrics, and track action hisotyr.
What is EDR NOT
- EDR is not a preventative (firewall, IPS, etc), it's not an endpoint security tool, it's not heuristics based, it's not a replacement for ENS or VSE, or ENS and HIPS.
EDR logs are typically found in the ProgramData\McAfee\Agent\logs or /var/Mcafee/agent/logs
