F-Secure Unveils New Endpoint Detection & Response Solution

Finland-based cybersecurity firm F-Secure on Thursday announced the launch of a new endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution that combines human expertise and artificial intelligence. The new offering, F-Secure Rapid Detection & Response, is designed to help organizations protect their IT systems against targeted attacks. The solution leverages lightweight endpoint sensors and AI-powered data analysis capabilities to monitor devices for malicious activity. Rapid Detection & Response creates a baseline for normal behavior and flags any unusual activity. Suspicious behavior is subjected to additional analysis to prevent false positives that could overwhelm security teams, F-Secure said. The product can be configured to respond to potential threats in various ways. It can provide guidance to the organization’s IT team or managed service provider on how to respond to an incident, or it can take action automatically in order to contain an attack. More difficult cases can be escalated to a local partner that is trained and supported by F-Secure experts.
