Overview of Panda Adaptive Defense 360
Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed to protect computers, laptops, and servers from a wide range of advanced threats. This solution integrates traditional endpoint protection (EPP) with advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities, providing a robust and automated security posture.
Key Features and Functionality
Integrated Protection, Detection, Response, and Remediation
Panda Adaptive Defense 360 combines the best of traditional antivirus protection with the latest advanced security technologies. It automates the prevention, detection, containment, and response to various threats, including zero-day malware, ransomware, phishing, in-memory exploits, and malwareless attacks, both inside and outside the corporate network.
Automated Classification and Zero-Trust Application Service
The solution uses machine learning on a Big Data platform in the cloud to classify every process and application running on the endpoints. It operates in two modes:
- Standard Mode: Allows applications classified as goodware to run, as well as those yet to be cataloged.
- Extended Mode: Only permits the execution of applications classified as goodware, ideal for companies with a ‘zero risk’ approach to security.
Continuous Monitoring and Expert Analysis
Panda Adaptive Defense 360 continuously monitors all processes on endpoints and servers. Any applications not automatically classified are analyzed by Panda Security experts to ensure comprehensive security.
Threat Hunting and Investigation Service
This solution includes a managed Threat Hunting Service, where experts proactively search for and mitigate potential threats that may have evaded initial detection.
Forensic Information and Reporting
The solution provides detailed forensic information, including execution event graphs, heat maps showing the geographical source of malware connections, and the ability to locate software with known vulnerabilities. It also offers advanced reporting tools that automate the correlation of process and application execution data, generating security intelligence and enabling the configuration of alerts.
Comprehensive Endpoint Protection
Panda Adaptive Defense 360 includes a range of endpoint protection features such as:
- Remedial actions
- Centralized device control
- Web monitoring and filtering
- Exchange server antivirus and anti-spam
- Endpoint firewall
- Behavioral blocking and IoA detection
- Device control and URL filtering
Cloud-Based Management and Lightweight Agent
The solution is delivered from the cloud, using a lightweight agent that has minimal impact on endpoints. It is managed via a single cloud-based console, integrating Cloud Protection and Management Platforms (Aether) to maximize prevention, detection, and automated response.
Additional Security Layers
Data Encryption
Panda Adaptive Defense 360 can be complemented with Panda Full Encryption, a full-volume encryption solution that protects data against unauthorized access, ensuring that data is automatically encrypted and decrypted without impacting end users.
Benefits
- Complete and Robust Protection: Ensures protection against both known and unknown threats.
- Automated Capabilities: Reduces the burden on IT departments by automating prevention, detection, and response.
- Advanced Reporting: Provides detailed security intelligence and forensic information.
- Zero-Trust Approach: Offers a ‘zero risk’ security posture with the Extended Mode, ideal for companies requiring the highest level of security.
In summary, Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is a holistic cybersecurity solution that integrates EPP and EDR capabilities, providing continuous monitoring, automated classification, and expert analysis to protect against a wide array of advanced threats.
