Re: Managed AV

["Baillio, Aaron" <abaillio () OU EDU>]

We moved to the Dell & Cylance agents last November.  It's called Dell Data Protection & Encryption.  It marries 
Authentication, Encryption and Next Gen Protection (Cylance) into one agent.

We've been very happy.  It's currently deployed on roughly 3500 endpoints and not only is it more effective than most 
other vendors, it's less resource intensive.

We spent a year looking at 6 different products and Cylance won out.  We decided to go with the Dell product rather 
than direct with Cylance because the pricing models were more economical.

I'd be happy to talk about our study and experience further.

We have been using Sophos supplemented with Malwarebytes. I have been satisfied with their performance over the last 
few years.

I like the usability of the Sophos Enterprise Console and the variety of tools available.  Most recently they have 
added (for an additional license fee) NGAV (X-Intercept) which runs as a feature in the console.  X-Intercept includes 
some exceptional anti-ransomware tools and we will likely move ahead with that. Other features include Bitlocker 
Encryption management, DLP, Port Control, Firewall controls, HIPS, Web Control, Mobile device management, Application 
Control, Client Tamper management, and patch management.  They have clients for Windows, Apple, and Linux.

We are not using all of the features.

All,
                What AV product(s) are you using and are you happy with it's features?  (Detection, management, 
performance, user experience, etc.)  We're looking at changing or adding a product and I'd like to hear your thoughts 
if you're willing to share.

Thanks,
