Key Features & Benefits

Threat Alert Dashboard (Linux and Windows)

A centralized, single-pane-of-glass view into all threat activity and enrolled host protections. Quickly assess system health, monitor alerts, and streamline investigations through a unified dashboard. This visibility accelerates response time and simplifies security operations.

File Integrity Monitoring (Windows Only)

Continuously monitors critical system files, folders, and registry keys for unauthorized changes. Helps detect insider threats, policy violations, or malicious activity that could degrade system performance or compromise data integrity — aligning with compliance frameworks like PCI DSS and HIPAA.

Host-Based Application Control (Windows Only)

Enforces application usage policies by controlling, auditing and reporting applications. Reduces your attack surface by allowing only approved software to run, helping to block unknown or untrusted applications and enhance operational control.

Host-Based Data Loss Prevention (Windows Only)

Implements rule-based content inspection to prevent unauthorized sharing ortransmission of sensitive information. Minimizes the risk of data exfiltration or accidental exposure and supports your compliance initiatives with industry-aligned best practices.
