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.
