Compare Falcon Insight vs. Qualys Multi-Vector EDR

Continuous monitoring enables the tracking of endpoint activities, providing insight into both individual threats and the overall security posture of the organization. Falcon Insight enhances this visibility by offering deep analytical capabilities that automatically identify and respond to suspicious behaviors, effectively thwarting stealthy attacks and potential breaches. By streamlining security operations, Falcon Insight allows users to focus less on managing alerts and more on swiftly investigating and addressing threats. The comprehensive Incident Workbench simplifies the process of analyzing attacks, enriched with contextual information and threat intelligence data. Additionally, CrowdScore offers a clear view of the organization's current threat level and its fluctuations over time. With robust response capabilities, users can swiftly contain and investigate compromised systems, including the ability to remotely access systems to take prompt action when necessary. This integrated approach not only enhances security but also fosters a proactive stance against evolving threats.

Conventional endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems concentrate solely on the activities within endpoints to identify potential threats. This narrow focus results in a lack of comprehensive context, hindering accurate attack analysis and resulting in an incomplete understanding of security incidents, alongside a propensity for numerous false positives and negatives. Consequently, organizations find themselves needing to deploy various point solutions and maintain large teams for incident response. Qualys addresses these limitations by introducing a novel multi-vector approach, leveraging the robust capabilities of its scalable Cloud Platform to enhance EDR with essential context and extensive visibility across the entire attack lifecycle—from prevention through detection to response. The Qualys Multi-Vector EDR integrates various contextual elements such as asset discovery, a detailed software inventory, insights into end-of-life assets, vulnerabilities, exploitable conditions, misconfigurations, comprehensive endpoint telemetry, and network accessibility, all supported by a powerful backend that facilitates accurate correlation for effective assessment, detection, and response—all within a single cloud-based application. This approach not only streamlines the process but also empowers organizations to respond more effectively to threats.
