Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the reporting database and attack protection.""The most valuable feature is the huge library of hack attacks and breach methods."

More SafeBreach Pros →

"All of the solution's features are quite valuable for us. We especially like the threat protection it provides.""You don't have to buy a separate email security platform. You can enable that using their endpoint, and I like that. You don't have to have two agents running on the same box.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive.""Symantec Endpoint Protection provides end-to-end protection. Along with antivirus protection, it has a lot of key areas, including intrusive prevention, firewall features, and application and device control.""What I like most about Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is its notification capability.""The great advantage in using this product is it creates multiple services.""The incident management on the solution is very good. You get a lot of detailed information about an incident. You also get a lot of documentation in connection with the CVI or integration.""It has certainly helped out our audit efforts because we each stay compliant in terms of various security standards."

Cons
"I would like to see some integration on the customization and customer support.""There is room for improvement in the interface. It is not always easy to find the options that you need and not everything is customizable."

More SafeBreach Cons →

"It's a strange situation where the infrastructure of the consumer or customer is behind some kind of firewall and they have always used some kind of customized proxy. In this situation, the ATP has a very tough time to pass the information to the cloud and back. To fix, it requires a more elaborate and complex configuration for that particular case.""The support has dropped down to a five out of ten.""It should be able to collect information if the agent is disabled.""There are some ‎features that would add value to this product. One of them would be a graphical presentation of threats that the system has encountered.""Not ideal for advanced threat protection.""The security features need to be improved.""It also needs network-based threat protection for shared folders and files.""There are limits with respect to blocking files by hash value or blocking IP addresses, and these limits should be removed."

    Overview

    SafeBreach is the world's most widely used continuous security validation platform in enterprise companies. The company's patented platform empowers CISOs and their teams to validate security controls, maximize their effectiveness, and drive down risk. 

    SafeBreach provides a "hacker's view" of an enterprise's security posture by continuously validating security controls and presenting findings in customized dashboards to enable stakeholders to cleanly focus on the biggest risk to the organization. SafeBreach automatically and safely executes thousands of attack methods to validate network, endpoint, cloud, container, and email security controls against the Hacker's Playbook, the world's largest collection of attack data broken down by methods, tactics, and threat actors. Data from SafeBreach validations can improve SOC team responses and empower management to make smarter decisions to better manage risk and invest resources.

    Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is a single unified solution that uncovers, prioritizes, and remediates advanced attacks. The product fuses intelligence from endpoint, network, and email control points, as well as Symantec’s massive global sensor network, to stop threats that evade individual security products. It leverages your existing Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec Email Security.cloud investments, so it does not require the deployment of any new agents. You can deploy a new installation of Symantec Advanced Threat Protection and start to discover suspicious activity in under an hour. Using the proven technology in Symantec Insight reputation based detection, Symantec SONAR behavioral analysis with the new Symantec Cynic sandbox and file analysis platform, Symantec Advanced Threat Protection provides better detection and prioritization than other vendors, allowing security analysts to “zero in” on just those specific security events of importance.
