What is Carbon Black EDR?

Carbon Black EDR is a market-leading incident response and threat hunting solution designed to provide responders with the most information possible, accompanied by expert threat analysis and armed with real-time response capabilities to stop attacks, minimize damage and close security gaps. Carbon Black EDR makes these teams more efficient, reducing investigations from days to hours, and more effective, enabling them to discover threats before attacks can exploit them. Carbon Black EDR also allows teams to connect to and isolate infected machines to prevent lateral movement and remediate devices without costly IT involvement. Continuous and Centralized Recording Centralized access to continuously recorded endpoint data means that security professionals have the information they need to hunt threats in real time as well as conduct in-depth investigations after a breach has occurred. Live Response for Remote Remediation With Live Response, incident responders can create a secure connection to infected hosts to pull or push files, kill processes, perform memory dumps and quickly remediate from anywhere in the world. Attack Chain Visualization and Search Carbon Black EDR provides intuitive attack chain visualization to make identifying root cause fast and easy. Analysts can quickly jump through each stage of an attack to gain insight into the attacker’s behavior, close security gaps and learn from every new attack technique to avoid falling victim to the same attack twice. Automation via Integrations and Open APIs Carbon Black boasts a robust partner ecosystem and open platform that allows security teams to integrate products like Carbon Black EDR into their existing security stack.

Carbon Black EDR benefits security teams by providing faster end-to-end response and remediation, accelerated IR and threat hunting with continuous endpoint visibility, rapid identification of attacker activities and root cause, remote access to infected endpoints for in-depth investigation, better protection from future attacks through automated hunting, and unlimited retention and scale for the largest installations. Key capabilities include out-of-the-box and customizable behavioral detection, multiple customizable threat intel feeds, automated watchlists, process and binary search of centralized data, interactive attack chain visualization, Live Response for rapid remediation and more. Carbon Black EDR leverages the VMware Carbon Black Cloud’s aggregated threat intelligence, which is applied to the endpoint activity system of record for evidence and detection of these identified threats and patterns of behavior. Customers that augment or replace legacy antivirus solutions with Carbon Black EDR do so because those legacy solutions lack visibility and context, leaving customers blind to attacks.

Description

Carbon Black empowers top security teams to close the Risk Gap they face today. Specific directed attacks are now the cybercrime norm, and no business is exempt. There’s increasing cyber-insurance scrutiny, and government regulations continue to get stricter. In this context, security teams can no longer rely on general security platforms alone. Rather, teams must be empowered with deeper visibility and more control in order to tailor response to their unique environment. With Carbon Black, security teams have unprecedented ability to see directed attacks, contain potential impact, change policies with no user interruption, prevent repeat incidents, and measure what they stopped.

What do you like best about Carbon Black EDR?

While most companies just use a typical anti-virus we use the Carbon Black Defense combined with Carbon Black Response. It's good because it gives you a play by play of every action on a particular node. Using the built in alerts or creating your own you'll find that it's easy to go through and work an issue! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black EDR?

The only thing I really dislike about Cb Response is the layout and the lack of documentation displayed as you do things (ie. searching, although documentation does exist you just have to look elsewhere.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Carbon Black EDR:

I would highly recommend this product in order to keep track of everything that happens on your computer, from an application running, to it reaching out to China, or even just one app starting another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Carbon Black EDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

When using Cb Response we feel better equipped to handle any issues such as ransomware and other malicious content reaching out to external sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seems to really shine only in internet-accessible networks; not very great at isolated networks like mine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consider CB Defense, as many of the features of CB Response are being placed there, and it includes a true antimalware component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Carbon Black EDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a way to determine what circumstances surrounded a breach, so we can better learn to close them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Carbon Black EDR?

in theory it should work great. It seems to be a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black EDR?

their updates that they push out, don't seem to be thoroughly tested as they have recalled them a few times.

We lost the ability to sandbox an infected endpoint because the update they pushed out broke our servers so we had to dial back. They have not been able to fix that yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Carbon Black EDR:

due proper testing to make sure the current version can do exactly what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Carbon Black EDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Carbon Black EDR?

The ability see/analyze every process can give a huge insight into a potential threat, which makes hunting a good deal more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black EDR?

The biggest problem seems to be that the complexity of the inner workings makes it very difficult to identify the root cause of an issue, which I think has in turn made the whole thing a bit temperamental. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Carbon Black EDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cb Response is used as an endpoint threat detection and response(shockingly) tool.The biggest benefit is the ability to determine where and how an attacker was able to compromise the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
