OUR PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
AUTO CONTAINMENT
Question
WHAT DOES IT DO?

It prevents active breach, stops day zero malware from causing damage. This allows protection of the systems without having to rely on detection of any sorts, whetherAI, heuristic or signature based.

Exclamatory
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

No detection-based system can be 100% which means every detection-based system no matter what kind of (AI based, heuristic, next gen) will allow brand new malware/threats they don’t recognize to inflict damage. Detection based systems can only act if they can detect.

 
Dir
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

CrowdStrike will allow any brand new malware it does not recognize to cause breach first

OUR TECHNOLOGY
ADAPTIVE EVENT MODELING
Question
WHAT DOES IT DO?

Adaptive event modeling:

where not only correlations but the sensor data itself can be extended in real time, enabling the system to collect more information from the endpoints, do event chaining and enrichment on the endpoints and send all to the cloud if needed.

Time Series Dimension:

provides semantics to the events detected by using first order logic, such as an adaptive discrete event modeling adding time-series as a dimension and build a baseline model to detect anomalies.

Exclamatory
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

It enables analysts to query all historical data, define new data types and push those to the endpoints in real time to reduce dwelling time over attacks.

This cross-correlates with time as a dimension, detects hidden attacks that has only divergent over normal behaviors.

Dir
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

CrowdStrike event modeling is static and can only be managed by CrowdStrike. Any new request on event modeling will take CrowdStrike days as well as a whole CrowdStrike desktop agent Update; versus Comodo where analyst can model their events on the fly and in real time.

While Comodo can detect hidden attacks thanks to its time series analysis capabilities, CrowdStrike lacks this Capability and therefore does not detect hidden attacks.

OUR TECHNOLOGY
CLOUD-NATIVE NETWORK DETECTION AND RESPONSE
Question
WHAT DOES IT DO?

Dragon Enterprise has its enterprise-class network traffic analysis that detects suspicious behaviors, prioritizes investigations into the highest risk threats, and automates response. It captures all network traffic, generates extensive metadata for all important network protocols, sends this data to the cloud to enrich and correlate it with endpoint sensor data.

Exclamatory
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Only sensing through the endpoints (what CrowdStrike does is limiting its sensing only to the endpoints versus full network) will not reveal hybrid attack surface. NDR gives you the perspective you need to understand your hybrid attack surface from the inside out. It enables finding rouge devices and reports back any attack vector based on those.

Dir
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

CrowdStrike does not analyze the full network, it is limited to what it can see on the endpoint with limited protocol decoding and it has no network sensor. VS Comodo combines endpoint events with its network sensor data (collected through its network sensor), analyzing more than 40 different protocols and correlate all this data using its SIEM and data analytics platform to identify hybrid attacks.

OUR TECHNOLOGY
CLOUD WORKLOAD SECURITY
Question
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Dragon Enterprise collects and analyze not on just computing resources of cloud providers but also gather all events from IaaS, PaaS, serverless and SaaS services like 0365, Azure AD, Google Cloud or AWS Cloudtrail, and detects and alerts any threat targeting the cloud workloads.
Exclamatory
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Cloud workloads become An important part of the enterprises. Dragon Enterprise allows businesses to discover, monitor, and secure cloud accounts, compute and storage instances, and the control plane. Securing the cloud will require much more than agent running on the endpoints.
Dir
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Crowdstrike has only an agent running and only on the endpoint, with a simple log collection of the cloud providers. VS Comodo integrates with major and popular raw event sources of cloud infrastructures and workloads. This integration along with its own native SIEM platform combine with the data collected from the endpoint enables 360 coverage over all the customer assets on-prem or in the cloud. Dragon Enterprise is the only platform that is natively architected to protect enterprise both on-prem or in the cloud.

OUR TECHNOLOGY
SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER AS A SERVICE
Question
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Dragon Enterprise comes with full blown SOC services where threat hunting teams are used over the alerts the system has generated to detect any malicious activity and provide incident response with the customer. Dragon Enterprise incorporates artificial intelligence capabilities with semi-supervised artificial intelligence engine that learns from the activities and operations of Comodo’s cybersecurity experts, accelerating the detection and response to new threats.
Exclamatory
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Having a professional security analyst & threat hunter monitoring all your alerts and incidents and guiding you or acting themselves empowers companies with necessary security expertise to fight against advanced attacks.

Dir
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

CrowdStrike only has incident monitoring and alerting service, versus Dragon Enterprise that comes with full operational 24×7 SOC service that not only monitors and alerts like CrowdStrike does, but also comes with a fully managed SOC services including

  • Incident management and response
  • Compliance reporting
  • Customizable reports
  • Security risk reviews
  • And much more
