Enhancing security Beyond EDR: How Rampart AI™ Mitigates Single Points of Failure

A recent Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) issue that impacted airlines, hospitals, and countless other essential businesses revealed the challenges associated with interacting with the kernel to improve cybersecurity posture. One update caused system crashes, requiring manual intervention to reboot machines in safe mode. While this approach involved a driver integrating with the kernel component, Rampart™ takes a different approach. We operate at the application level, avoiding the use of kernel hooks to execute commands. This minimizes risk and ensures that only user commands are executed.

Unlike other solutions that rely on signature detection, Rampart focuses on application behavior, which allows us to identify and prevent attacks. We enhance security beyond what traditional EDR systems can offer. While EDRs look for known threats, Rampart ensures that even if an attacker bypasses your EDR or a supply chain attack, they cannot execute harmful actions at the application level. This dual-layered approach is essential for comprehensive security.

Currently, bad actors are working on exploiting the vulnerabilities exposed by this EDR issue, injecting malware at the system level. This escalating threat underscores the critical importance of using a tool like Rampart for enhanced security and reliability. Rampart provides an additional layer of protection, preventing malware from causing harm to your applications, even if it breaches your EDR defenses. By stopping threats at the application level, Rampart ensures that your system remains secure and operational, safeguarding applications from malicious attacks.

It is crucial to understand that Rampart complements your existing EDR. Rampart enhances your security measures by protecting the application. Our motto has always been having an understanding of how your application runs is key to securing your application. Rampart allows for quick and flexible responses to threats. This adaptability, combined with our ability to stop threats at the application level, makes Rampart an indispensable addition to your cybersecurity arsenal.
