Pre-announce Beta request for new BigFix module on Endpoint Detection and Response

Since the acquisition of BigFix in 2010, IBM has continually invested in extending BigFix functionality and our clients’ BigFix return on investment, with real-time visibility and control. No other platform provides the ability for clients to see their endpoints and attributes more clearly, understand their security posture more completely and act more precisely.

As client requirements for endpoint security have evolved to include Endpoint Detection and Response, dozens of tools have emerged with varying degrees of maturity and sophistication, all of which lack the ability to fully respond and remediate to the issues they detect.

We are excited to announce a beta program for a new native BigFix module which leverages the power of the renowned BigFix platform to:

  • Discover endpoints
  • Provide detailed insight into their security posture
  • Continuously reduce their attack surface
  • Alert upon complex Indicators of Attack and Comprise (IOA’s/IOC’s)
  • Respond completely to eliminate the threat from their environment

Using the new module, security teams can be alerted to sophisticated evasive attacks, be guided through an investigation based in the context of their specific organization and then efficiently roll out precise remediation packages, enterprise wide, all from the BigFix platform.

For details on this exciting solution and beta program, please contact Tamar Shafler: tamars@il.ibm.com

This sounds quite exciting - and I assume the BASE for this comes from the Trusteer/Apex foundation?
Is the only way to participate (business partner) by sending e-mail to tamars@il.ibm.com ?

And - will this in ANYWAY effect customers choice that have CORE with Trend and need to move off?

Yes, you will need to contact Tamar to take part in the beta. It does use Trusteer technology and extends it with new capabilities to satisfy this use case.

Whether it will impact how the customer migrates from BigFix CPM depends on what the customer is looking for. EDR capabilities are not equivalent to traditional AV/Anti-Malware products, but I have heard of some customers moving away from signature-based endpoint protection and focusing more on threat detection and response solutions.

I am hoping this will be cover in Vegas - See everyone out there!

It definitely will. See you there!
