New Features
System Tray (Desktop interface)
To help users keep track of their endpoints’ performance and availability, as well as to help with conclusive incident investigations, the “Activity” panel now features the new “Performance” tab, which displays performance metrics (CPU, memory) of the all Windows services related to the ClearSkies™ Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) Agent. The metrics are taken from averages of 1-minute intervals, and display 24-hour and 1-hour historical charts.
Active Defense Beacon Traps
In conjunction with ClearSkies™ Active Defense, the ClearSkies™ Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) Agent monitors file system activity of users and applications on beacon traps in an effort to spot suspicious/malicious behavior.
ClearSkies™ Active Defense ‘Beacon Traps’ use fake information and “poisoned data” as bait to lure threat-actors. This information consists of different file formats and is placed strategically amongst real information to aid in the early detection of suspicious activities related to unauthorized use and/or access.
Fake information may have the form of email accounts, user credentials, financial spreadsheets and document files related to intellectual property or any other valuable information.
Any attempt to copy, access, modify or use this information by threat actors automatically triggers an Alert/Incident, while a similar action involving “real” information/data would have gone unnoticed, allowing the attacker to continue their silent perpetration through the organizational infrastructure.
