Serious Discussion “Strongest” security solution.

[Kongo]

What deep instinct product is this? How many trial days do they offer?

Deep Instinct Endpoint Protection and I got it from a reseller so I don't know how long their trials are.

Isn’t Xcitium’s sandbox and malware detection capabilities not very good? Also, Xcitium is a full Security Solution. Could you disable any on system features that could cause conflicts?

I'm using it in default deny. I don't use their AV. Only containment.

DI themselves don’t offer any trials, but there is one thing online that provides a 15 day trial, I just forgot what it’s called.

Well played sir, well played.

And very true.

my DeepInstinct US reseller gave me 3 to 4 weeks to love it, that was 163 days ago, and Di is still protecting my win10.

The premium version excels with AI—Alcohol Intelligence!

 

[Shadowra]

Deep Instinct is one of the solutions I was looking at. Although I could never fully test it, I know for a fact is a really strong solution, although it’s a bit aggressive.

For me it’s between CheckPoint Harmony, and DI. I’d like to learn a bit more about each solution and their capabilities, but I know that whichever solution I choose will protect my new PC extremely well.

Also, is DI good against Java Malware?

yup

Eset + CyberLock
Comodo Firewall + Microsoft Defender

In any case, there's no such thing as the "best antivirus"! It all depends on what you click on.

I am amazed to see that F-Secure or Kaspersky was not recommended and I'm wondering why

 

[ZeroDay]

With a few tweaks Kaspersky can be set to be extremely good security.

He was using Kaspersky and F-Secure has a lot of trouble blocking Java exploits, which is what he was looking for.

Let my latest status guide you. As no amount of security will ever protect you from yourself if you choose to engage in activities that you know are problematic.

In terms of following good security practices, I think I am pretty good at the basics. Dont go to sketchy sites, analyze suspicious files, dont run random things, dont click sketchy emails, etc.

 

[Xeno1234]

Right now there are 4 solutions im looking at.

1: Kaspersky Premium
2: Deep Instinct
3: CheckPoint Harmony
4: Cortex XDR

I know a good amount about Harmony and DI, however I don’t know pricing for either or anything about Cortex besides it’s very, very good.

Does anyone have more information about any of these products or recommendations?

Currently I am paying 100 USD Yearly for Kaspersky and I want something a bit cheaper.

I looked at the Harmony thread and I believe it’s 50 USD per endpoint, so around the same price point.

Then you have to test the products.
DeepInstinct is deployed on 3 computers in my home. No problems at all and it protects very well

I’ve tried CheckPoint Harmony it’s very good, but I’ve bypassed it’s behavior blocker (I had to turn off the anti malware component)

I’ve also tried DI for a bit. False positived 10+ times on my system, but I could tone down the configuration.

In any case, no antivirus will protect you 100%. Even if you've managed to bypass Harmony, malware can easily bypass another av.

DeepInstinct I've set everything to Low for maximum protection. Exclusions are very easy to make on the dashboard (I've also had false positives).
What I like about DI is the dashbord, no unnecessary alerts and its script/PowerShell attack blocker. Its NGAV engine is also one of the most up-to-date I've tested.

PaoloAlto's Cortex XDR I've never tested, but it's an EDR.

I’ve not fully bypassed Harmony. The Kaspersky Anti-Malware engine stopped the attack and I’m pretty sure it was caught by threat feeds.

In terms of Strongest Security Solution.

[Oversimplified]

Is to start with how you connect to the Internet? (Ethernet / WiFi)

Then what Router to use? (My Recommendation would be a Firewall Appliance.)

Even so how is your Network Segmented or is it even? (Attack Surface Reduction, Control and Visibility)

After all that then we can start looking to are other Devices on the same Network? (IoT, SmartTV and such...)

Why these questions?
- Without that an attacker could still be persistent inside the Network over another device for example.
- Security Suite is just another Software that does things....
- Security should Start with the User and an IT-Security-Solution tailor made for the specific situation with all the OSI Layers in mind.
- There is no 100% Security.
- With huge budget you can have Enterprise grade security without lifting a finger if installed properly. ----> The Security focused solutions and highend use MDR Services (There is an IT-Security SOC Team 24/7 Monitoring your Systems) some even offer monitoring from the Gateway (Firewall) / Network and Endpoints (Clients and Server)
- Like always it is all about Money $$$$

Val.
