Embratel expands its security portfolio with a new solution

The new offering provides advanced endpoint protection with innovative security features and centralized cloud management.

Embratel has announced the launch of Embratel EDR (Endpoint Defense and Response), a solution for advanced protection of physical, virtual or cloud servers and workstations.

The launch seeks to provide more security so that malicious assets are stopped and unable to enter the systems during cyberattacks.

Operating inside and outside the client’s network, Embratel EDR meets the demands of companies that have gone through digitalization processes, either to implement a home office or to migrate their services to the cloud and are in need of efficient protection against security incidents.

The offer has integrated tools beyond the traditional antivirus and can previously detect eventual threatening situations for the infrastructure. Embratel EDR includes features such as anti-ransomware, antivirus, content filtering, encryption, data loss prevention, and control of applications and peripheral devices.

Paulo Venâncio, IT Services Solutions and Pre-Sales Director, Embratel, said: “Embratel continually invests in innovation to improve customers’ cybersecurity. With Embratel EDR, we offer an even more complete service, managed in the cloud to serve and protect servers and workstations simultaneously, integrating several tools in a single platform and with specialized support.”

With anti-ransomware and antivirus, Embratel EDR immediately identifies and restrains the attack. The solution analyzes the behavior of threats detected in systems and applications and acts to prevent security from being compromised, including blocking and isolating the asset that suffers an attack attempt. Thus, the solution prevents other devices from being attacked.

A content filter, with effective web control, blocks undue access to sites and applications that, for example, do not comply with internal company policies, protecting while browsing files accessed by employees.

Applications not allowed by companies are blocked from running on workstations.

The Data Loss Prevention functionality helps prevent the loss and leakage of files and information by monitoring and restricting the transfer and extraction of sensitive data. The offer allows the use of encryption on files to protect the information, mitigating the risk of data theft. Furthermore, the solution offers the control of removable peripheral devices, such as mice, headphones and others, which can also be hacked.

Embratel EDR provides a control panel to facilitate the management of functionalities, with the installation of a single agent in all equipment. As a result, the client does not need to have several interfaces to manage each device. Through the panel, it is possible to manage which software can be run on devices present on the network and accessed by employees, controlling the execution of sensitive applications.

“Embratel believes that integrated services generate more benefits for companies. Therefore, we have always invested in offers capable of solving several demands simultaneously, such as Embratel EDR, which provides security for the entire infrastructure through a single and robust platform allocated in the cloud,” said Venâncio.
