Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response

Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response

Blaze Managed EDR delivers advanced attack prevention, detection, and real-time response to sophisticated attacks. Blaze keep your organisation safe with 24×7 security monitoring, advanced attack prevention, detection and remediation, plus targeted and risk-based threat hunting by a certified team of security experts.

We’re always there so you don’t have to be.

Advanced Threat Detection and Response

Cyber-criminals are growing ever more sophisticated – and today’s advanced attacks are increasingly difficult to detect.

Using techniques that individually look like routine behaviour, an attacker may access your infrastructure and remain undetected for months, significantly increasing the risk of a costly data breach.

Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (Blaze Managed EDR) takes users of Blaze Endpoint Protection to a new level of comprehensive cybersecurity for their network. Blaze Managed EDR builds on Blaze Endpoint Protection Advanced (which is a pre-requisite) and adds extra levels of capabilities.

Blaze Managed EDR constantly monitors your network to uncover suspicious activity much earlier than is otherwise possible, provides additional tools, and takes action to enable you to fight-off cyber-attacks:

• Integrated machine-learning, cloud-scanning and sandbox analyser technology to detect activity that evades traditional endpoint prevention mechanisms.
  Full visibility on the techniques, tactics and procedures (TTPs) being used to attack your systems.
  Comprehensive search capabilities for specific indicators of compromise (IoCs), MITRE ATT&CK techniques and other artifacts to discover early-stage attacks.
  Response actions taken to close vulnerabilities and eliminate the risk of recurrent attacks – 24/7.
• Integrated machine-learning, cloud-scanning and sandbox analyser technology to detect activity that evades traditional endpoint prevention mechanisms.

Anticipate and Avert Attacks Before a Breach Occurs

Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (Blaze Managed EDR) monitors your network to uncover suspicious activity early (before a full attack has occurred) and provides the tools needed to fight off sophisticated cyberattacks. The advanced risk analytics technology underpinning Blaze Managed EDR examines not only endpoints but also human behaviour, continuously analysing your organizational risk using hundreds of factors to identify, prioritize and provide guidance on mitigating user, network, and endpoint risks.

The Ability to Respond, Decisively

Blaze Managed EDR detects advanced threats including fileless attacks, ransomware, and other zero-day threats in real-time.  Its threat analytics and cloud-based event collector continuously monitors endpoints and prioritises security events into a list of incidents for investigation and response.

• Easy to follow, built-in response workflows enable you to respond efficiently, limit lateral spread, and stop ongoing attacks.
• Threat visualisations focus investigations, helping to understand complex detections, identify the root cause of attacks, and stop ongoing attacks.
• Comprehensive visuals of adversary actions, enriched with context and threat intelligence, highlight critical attack paths, and ease burdens on IT staff. (Also helps identify gaps in protection and incident impact – to support compliance.)
• Analytics and events are correlated infrastructure-wide (not just looked at from the perspective of individual endpoints), which enables you to deal more effectively with complex cyber-attacks involving multiple endpoints.
• By providing threat visualizations at the organizational level, this extended EDR (xEDR) capability helps you focus investigations and respond more effectively.
• Automated alert prioritisation and one-click resolution capabilities make situations more manageable by reducing the time needed to assess and respond to emerging threats.
• Uniquely human and end point risk analytics provide actionable advice to improve your security posture and reduce risk.

Minimising Operational Burden

Cloud-based, Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Recognition is easy-to-deploy and integrate with your existing security architecture.
The lightweight agent has low disk space, memory, bandwidth and CPU resource overhead.
Configurable dashboards, email notifications, and comprehensive reporting capabilities for both instant and scheduled reports, all managed from a centralized console, saves time and effort for IT teams.
Blaze Managed EDR is flexible, scalable and a fully managed detection and response (MDR) solution incorporating the Blaze Service Desk, Blaze Network Operations Centre, and Bitdefender advanced Security Operations Centres in the USA and Europe (all activity managed by Blaze on your behalf).

Bitdefender Technology

Blaze has partnered with leading security company Bitdefender, leveraging their advanced cybersecurity technology and systems to deliver Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response.

Among Bitdefender’s credentials are an enormous installed base of over 500 million endpoints. Many are via OEM technology partnerships, so the company’s name is not as well-known as deserved.
Bitdefender OEMs include Microsoft, IBM, FireEye, F-Secure, and BAE Systems (customers include the FBI, the US Department of Justice, and Europol). In fact, 38% of the world’s security technology vendors integrate Bitdefender’s technology into their offerings, and independent test after test shows that Bitdefender is unmatched in Attack Prevention.

Bitdefender has advanced Security Operations Centres in the USA and Europe which Blaze interconnects with and leverages to deliver Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response.

How Blaze Endpoint EDR Works

Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response is a cloud-based solution built upon the Bitdefender GravityZone XDR platform.

Each EDR agent deployed on your organization’s endpoints has an event recorder that continuously monitors the endpoint and securely sends insights and suspicious event details to the centralized GravityZone Control Centre.  

In the Control Centre, the Bitdefender cross-endpoint correlation engine collects and distils endpoint events and generates prioritized, organizational-level views of security incidents, enabling administrators to quickly investigate and respond effectively to threats. 

Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection & Response

For customers needing comprehensive endpoint protection delivered as a service, Blaze offers Blaze Managed Detection and Response (Blaze Managed EDR). Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response builds on Blaze Endpoint Protection Advanced and is delivered as a true managed service.

Blaze Managed Detection and Response provides a 24×7 monitoring overview of the customer’s network, threat-hunting, and proactive actions. Delivering a targeted and continuous service, Blaze’s own Security Operations and Network Operations teams work in concert with Bitdefender’s advanced Security Operations Centres in the USA and Europe to deliver this fully managed service.

Blaze Managed EDR combines cybersecurity for endpoints, network, and security analytics with the threat-hunting expertise of a fully staffed security operations centre (SOC) with security analysts from global intelligence agencies.

Blaze Managed EDR reduces the danger of a customer’s own IT team being overwhelmed by a blizzard of threat alerts: the volume of alerts depends not just on attacker activity but on the aggressiveness of automated detection and response settings chosen within the Blaze Endpoint Protection and Endpoint Detection and Response products. By using this service, not only can an expert response be delivered to threat situations, but it becomes more practical to use the most sensitive settings to detect potential and emerging threats, and to better manage a fully orchestrated response.
