Function: Execute advanced endpoint detection and response operations on devices.

EDR Operations Overview

In today’s cybersecurity threat landscape, having just an antivirus is no longer sufficient. Threats are more sophisticated and can hide effectively. This is where EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) comes in.

​
What is EDR and why is it different?

Think of your antivirus as a guard at the door, preventing known threats from entering. EDR goes much further: It Sees What Happens Inside: EDR continuously monitors everything that happens on your computers and servers (the “endpoints”). It doesn’t just check files, but also observes the behavior of programs, processes, network connections, and user activities. It Detects Suspicious Behaviors: Instead of just looking for known threats, EDR is intelligent enough to identify behavioral patterns that indicate a threat, even if it’s new and never seen before (like a program trying to access restricted areas of the system). It Helps Respond Quickly: If a threat is detected, EDR doesn’t just warn you. It provides the tools to understand what happened and act quickly to contain and remove the threat, minimizing damage.

Perseus: Specialist Agent for Execution

In the Myrmex ecosystem, the Perseus agent is our specialist in direct execution of operations on endpoints. Under Centurion’s intelligent orchestration, Perseus is the “arm” that acts on the device. It Collects Crucial Data: Perseus collects detailed information about activities on the endpoint, which are essential for threat detection. It Acts When Necessary: If a threat is identified, Centurion can instruct Perseus to perform actions such as isolating the device from the network, terminating malicious processes, collecting files for forensic analysis, or even removing threats.
