Endpoint Detection & response

Lightweight agent. Behavioral chains. Real-time isolation.

Overview

What EDR does.

Endpoint Detection and Response watches every process, file, network connection and registry change on every device in your fleet. The Protoxol agent ships less than 25 MB to disk, uses under 2% CPU at rest and streams telemetry to the platform over a single mutually-authenticated channel. Detections run both on-host (behavioral chains) and in the cloud (cross-host correlation), so even sophisticated multi-stage attacks surface within seconds of execution.

Features

Inside EDR.

Multi-OS coverage

Single agent for Windows 10/11, macOS 13+, Linux (kernel 5.x and 6.x). Same telemetry, same rules.

Behavioral detection

Process trees, parent/child anomalies, LOLBins detection. Rules in Sigma + Protoxol DSL.

Live response

Isolate host, kill PID, quarantine file, collect memory dump — from the keyboard, audited.

Tamper protection

Self-protect mode. Operators see attempts to disable the agent as high-severity alerts.

Forensic timeline

Per-host process timeline retained 30+ days. Pivot from any alert into raw events.

Use cases

Where EDR earns its keep.

Ransomware containment

Detect encryption pattern in <60s. Auto-isolate. Rollback file changes on supported FS.

Living-off-the-land attacks

Catch PowerShell/WMI/PsExec abuse via behavioral chains, not signatures.

Insider misuse

Anomaly scoring on unusual access patterns, mass file reads, lateral logon spikes.

Technical specs

EDR under the hood.

Footprint <25 MB disk, <2% CPU at rest
Telemetry channel Single mTLS, port 443 outbound
Detection latency p95 under 5 seconds host-to-console
Retention 30 days hot, 1 year warm
The landscape

Where the market stands today.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is the foundation of modern security operations. The market is crowded with billion-dollar vendors and emerging challengers — each with strengths and tradeoffs. Here is how Protoxol EDR compares.

Vendor Strength Tradeoff
CrowdStrike Falcon Best-in-class threat graph. Mature MDR. Premium pricing. Per-seat trap. Vendor lock-in.
SentinelOne Singularity Strong autonomous response. Good Linux coverage. Console fragmented across modules.
Microsoft Defender Bundled with M365. Strong Windows integration. Weaker Mac/Linux. Hard to escape Microsoft estate.
Our offering

Protoxol EDR — built differently.

Unified telemetry

Endpoint signals merge natively with network, email and identity.

Same console

No vendor switching for cross-surface investigations.

Honest pricing

Per-endpoint, not per-analyst. Modular activation.
