Do I need to use EMET with CIS ?

[lhgamds]

I've used CIS with proactive config. for several years.

AFAIK, comodo's HIPS and auto-sanbox are used for proactive defense.

but, I don't know wheather some browsers or applications' vulnerability can be protected by comodo's features or not.

MS claims EMET can do what i say. but, I saw some news that EMET was bypassed easily.

so, plz. let me know wheather comodo can protect vulnerability or not.

if it can't, I will use EMET alongside CIS.

CIS does not provide anti-exploit for any apps.

Yes. EMET can by bypassed by certain malware - so can most any security soft.

If you are typical user then you are probably safe... it depends upon many factors - not just your chosen AV\AE.

If you use MS Office, Adobe Acrobat, etc, etc - then it won't hurt to add EMET.

Try MalwareBytes AntiExploit instead of EMET. Its free version protects browsers better then EMET.

You may use both of them or one of them, there are just one of limitations to each other from where the range of exploit protection gather.

Any Extra Benefits running EMET with MBAE

I would say no, just keep your OS up to date. Comodo's sandbox should be able to catch the malware that will be using exploits to get into your system.

I too, also heard EMET can be easily bypassed. Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit seems to be a way better alternative.

I personally don't use these kind of software. Especially since with Edge being a full 64 bit browser inside of a sandbox container of it's own. Exploits are going to have a hard time exploiting it compared to IE which was a exploiter's field day.

EMET is a must have, not only for browsers but for almost all internet-facing applications. it doesn't matter if it "may" be bypassed , at least the intruders will have hard time to breach your system.

Hackers don't loose time to penetrate heavy secured systems (unless it is a dedicated objective) they will just move to a weakest one.
