EDR, ETDR, Next Gen AV is all the rage, so why am I enraged? - Michael Gough Derbycon 2017 (Hacking Illustrated Series InfoSec Tutorial Videos)

EDR, ETDR, Next Gen AV is all the rage, so why am I enraged?
Michael Gough
Derbycon 2017

A funny thing happened when I evaluated several EDR, ETDR and Next Gen AV products, currently all the rage and latest must have security solution. Surprisingly to me the solutions kinda sucked at things we expected them to do or be better at, thus this talk so you can learn from our efforts. While testing, flaws were discovered and shared with the vendors, some of the flaws, bugs, or vulns that were discovered will be discussed. This talk takes a look at what we initially expected the solutions to provide us, the options or categories of what these solutions address, what to consider when doing an evaluation, how to go about testing these solutions, how they would fit into our process, and what we found while testing these solutions. What enraged me about these EDR solutions were how they were all over the place in how they worked, how hard or ease of use of the solutions, and the fact I found malware that did not trigger an alert on every solution I tested. And this is the next new bright and shiny blinky security savior solution? The news is not all bad, there is hope if you do some work to understand what these solutions target and provide, what to look for, and most importantly how to test them! What we never anticipated or expected is the tool we used to compare the tests and how well it worked and how it can help you.
