Operational Technical Security at Metro Bank

Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files

The initial setup process is straightforward. We have to install the agent, create a package, and deploy it on servers. It has a prebuilt console managed by the cloud team of Cybereason. We don't have to worry about the console and concentrate on endpoint implementation. It takes ten days to deploy it on 10,000 devices.

An easy-to-deploy tool that needs to improve its vulnerability scanning feature

To those who plan to use the solution, I would suggest that they go through the documentation and online training models available for free, as it can help you deploy the product quickly while also being helpful in areas where there is a need to understand correlation and monitoring. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."

"It gives all the information in a clear response."

"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"Their EDR solution, the ability to mitigate issues through their command line, is probably the best feature that we've had. We use that all the time. It's very useful for doing investigations."

"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."

"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."

"The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program."

"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."

"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."

"It brought our logs into one place for review and set up alarms based on changes we were missing due to lack of having one place for everything to go."

"It allows you to define what alerts you want to see, or not to see, as well as if you want them grouped, or ungrouped."

"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."

"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"What needs to improve in Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response and what I'd like to see in its next release is a centralized dashboard that allows you to view what is there, similar to what's on Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager: a beautiful display and reporting. Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response has to start with the compliance, the homepage, etc. Everything should be there and should be customizable. The options should be there. The tool is very good currently, but visibility for IT administrators is lacking and needs to be worked on."

"Ad hoc higher-level reporting to senior management can be improved or can be implemented. That's definitely an area of improvement that they need to focus on."

"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."

"There can be problems with the EDI."

"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."

"The reporting feature needs improvement."

"The product's reporting isn't great."

"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."

"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."

"This solution could be easier to use."

"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."

"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."

"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."

"The UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."

"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"The pricing is manageable."

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"The price point is good."

"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"

"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."

"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."

"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."

"The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license."

"It has good pricing."

"QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."
