New Features
Several major new features and enhancements are introduced in this new ClearSkies™ NG Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) Agent version 6.1:
Automated Response Actions
Simulated Block
The Agent can be configured to conduct a simulated block of suspicious events/activities that may be judged as normal in the individual use context.
Block
The Agent effectively blocks events that have been verified as malicious before they actually occur.
Quarantine
The Agent isolates events verified as malicious in a protected location on the endpoint. These malicious events can be reviewed at any time in the ClearSkies™ NG EDR “Vault” panel of the Agent’s system tray, or by accessing the “Endpoint” Service Module of the ClearSkies™ Secure Web Portal.
Automated actions and responses per activity
| TYPE OF ACTIVITY | ACTION | RESPONSE |

Alert or Alert & Incident |
Signature-Based Analysis
The Agent complements the detection and prevention of never-before-seen targeted attacks and insider threats with the use of Behavioral Monitoring and Analysis (BMA) and by leveraging Advanced Security Analytics complemented by Threat Intelligence and signature-based detection.
Application Control
The Agent grants full control over which applications on critical workstations and servers may run or not. This handy feature eliminates unknown/undesirable applications on your hosts that may compromise security and impact resource availability.
Operational Status and Configuration Interface
The Agent includes a system tray (or “systray”) icon found on the Microsoft Windows operating system environments taskbar, which allows for the review of operational status and configuration parameters.
Real-Time Visibility of Suspicious and/or Malicious Activities
With the use of Windows notifications, the Agent informs endpoint users in a case of detection of malicious and/or suspicious activities on the endpoint.
