Summary

Elastic Endpoint Security, now part of the broader Elastic Security suite, excels in third-party evaluations such as AV-Comparatives, NSS Labs Advanced Endpoint Protection Test, and MITRE ATT&CK evaluations, showcasing its effectiveness in malware protection and data visibility. This security solution offers robust endpoint defenses through multiple layers, including file-based malware prevention, kernel behavioral protections, and adversary tradecraft protection, all operating independently on the endpoint without reliance on cloud connectivity. Elastic Endpoint Security employs a hybrid architecture with a single host agent for prevention, detection, and response, managed via a centralized platform to optimize security operations. Its file-based prevention targets Windows and MacOS executables and macros, using machine learning to block threats, while kernel behavioral protections guard against common adversary tactics. Moreover, the adversary tradecraft protection leverages real-time monitoring and analytics to thwart post-compromise activities, providing quick, autonomous responses to malicious behaviors on the endpoint.
