- The Endpoint Protection with EDR and Threat Intelligence powered by Crowdstrike will automatically facilitate remediation and response to any detection of threats to your environment.
The Endpoint Protection with EDR and Threat Intelligence powered by Crowdstrike uses its endpoint sensor/agent/installer to detect ransomware/malware behaviors and then terminates the offending process before it can accomplish its goal of encrypting files.
This is done using CrowdStrike Indicator of Attack (IoA) patterns on the endpoint. These work both online and offline and are effective against new variants and polymorphic variants of ransomware that often bypass legacy antivirus.
