Endpoint detection and response (EDR)

Falcon Surface continuously monitors all endpoint activity and analyzes the data in real-time to automatically identify threat activity. It detects and prevents advanced threats as they happen. Moreover, it streams all endpoint activities to the system so that security teams can rapidly investigate incidents, respond to alerts, and proactively hunt for new threats.

Extended detection and response (XDR)

Falcon XDR extends EDR capabilities and delivers multi-domain detection and orchestrated response. It improves threat visibility across the enterprise, accelerates security operations, and minimizes risk. Additionally, it seamlessly adds third-party telemetry from a wide range of security solutions to threat-centric data fabric, powering the next generation of detection, protection, and elite threat hunting to stop breaches faster.

MITRE ATT&CK® mapping

The software’s alerts to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework allow users to understand even the most complex detections at a glance, decreasing the time required to triage alerts and accelerating prioritization and remediation. In addition, the intuitive UI enables teams to pivot quickly and search across the entire organization within seconds.

Device control

The Device Control feature ensures the safe utilization of USB devices across the organization. It merges visibility and granular control, enabling administrators to ensure that employees use only approved devices. When used with Falcon EDR, visibility is enhanced, adding searchable history and logs of USB device usage, including files written to devices. This feature does not require additional endpoint software installation or hardware to manage.
