What is Carbon Black EDR? How to use it? – Part 1

Carbon Black EDR(Endpoint Detection and Response) is a monitoring and reconnaissance tool. It does not interfere with the installation. It makes internal security very important by facilitating early identification of internal threats or external attacks thanks to continuous monitoring and discovery. Carbon Black EDR is the most powerful and effective Cyber Threat Hunting tool today’s SOC teams use by security analysts.

Threat Intelligence Feeds

Threat Intelligence page powered by Carbon Black EDR. You can use the Threat Intelligence found here. If an attack by an APT group in the world is also found in Turkey, this “Threat Intelligence” will alarm you even if the same file is used, the same hash, the same ip or the same domain is used.

Process: Analizin görüntülendiği ana processi tanımlar.

Command-line: It is the command line. Specifies the running command.

Host: Defines the host from which the command is started.

User: Identifies the user logged into the endpoint when the command was started.

State: Defines the state of the transaction. The state can be Running or Terminating.

Started: This shows when the activity started.

Duration: This shows the time the process has been running.

Isolate host: Used to isolate an endpoint from the network. For example, suspicious files may be discovered to be executed from a particular endpoint, and you might want to prevent them from spreading to other endpoints on your network. When an endpoint is isolated, connections to the Carbon Black EDR server (such as DHCP and DNS) are preserved, but all other connections are blocked or terminated. The user is not notified by Carbon Black EDR, but the endpoint will not work as expected.

–  Export events to CSV: Downloads a Report.zip archive of the alarm to your local computer.

–  Share: Carbon Black opens the EDR user’s default email client, composes an email, and accesses the details (path, MD5, start timestamp, last updated timestamp, hostname, and full command line) in the summary.txt file. Contains the URL.
