They're implying that you have a single agent which does the EDR (antivirus) and SIEM (logging) functionality instead of two separate agents. This is becoming more commonplace throughout the security industry as multiple agents can be burdensome from both a security and maintenance perspective.
- ThinkBeat 2y agoAgreed about the security and maintenance perspective perspective. Does that then mean we can conclude that the agent that comes with this product is a fully fledged endpoint security like ESET/MCaffe etc? I am wondering about this since a top notch free and open source antivirus and malware program would be super useful and cheap
- stevenAthompson 2y agoI haven't used it, and can't speak to it being "top notch", but they're advertising it as a fully fledged endpoint product that even includes some things like FIM (File integrity Monitoring), which are usually only available as expensive add-ons or additional modules with traditional security products like McAfee. If it were me, I would compare and contrast it's features and support with commercial offerings and see which one you feel the most comfortable with. There's a lot at stake when it comes to security. It's probably best not to let your decisions be 100% about up-front cost.
