XDR Response Actions – Now available on Mac and Linux
Published:
Earlier, we introduced Response Actions for the Windows version of our XDR client.
With response actions, you can retrieve specific forensic artefacts from endpoints to gather more information and provide further context to an investigation surrounding suspicious events that have been detected. You can also slow down or stop an attacker from achieving their objectives and by containing threats as they are being discovered and blocking them immediately. This can be done to multiple endpoints at the same time if necessary.
These have significantly aided our partners and customers when working with detections, and we have now added Response Actions to our Mac and Linux agents.
To use Advanced Response actions, the feature must be enabled in the profiles used. This setting can be found in the “General” settings of the Windows/Mac/Linux profiles.
Due to the nature of the host operating systems, not all platforms support all of the actions.
