“In the labyrinth of different manufacturers, technologies and features, it can be difficult to find the best offer for one’s own needs,” knows Christian Fritz, COO of IKARUS: “Our solutions reflect our core competencies, in which we are highly competitive internationally. In addition, we work together with selected technology partners in order to be able to fulfil even advanced requirements in the best quality.”

Enhanced endpoint protection

In the area of Endpoint Detection & Response and Managed Detection & Response, IKARUS has entered into a partnership with Cybereason, the XDR company, which relieves security experts in the company with the award-winning Cybereason Defense Platform. EDR solutions extend traditional endpoint protection by correlating suspicious activity and making concrete defensive measures directly accessible or automated. Cybersecurity incidents can thus not only be understood more quickly but also investigated and analysed without further software deployment.

Advantages of EDR/MDR features

“Cybereason has convinced us with excellent test results on the one hand and smooth operational handling on the other. The client can be used from the cloud or on-premises, places only a minimal load on the endpoints and, in the event of an incident, shows what is where affected and how,” says Christian Fritz: “The interface is very intuitively designed, which makes the onboarding of the IT team to the new solution very easy. But also 3rd level cybersecurity specialists can react more efficiently to cyber threats – for example, due to the representation of the attack according to MITRE ATT@CK or the kill chain.”

Local support and data processing

“IKARUS is a strategically valuable partner for us, and we are delighted to be working with them,” said Reiner Dresbach, VP Central Europe at Cybereason: “As an elite partner, IKARUS has all the resources and expertise to get the best out of our technologies for its customers. Our solution, coupled with the expertise and experience of IKARUS, forms a strong shield against ransomware and other cyber-attacks. This means that even clients with limited IT security resources are always well protected.”

With IKARUS as a system integrator, local companies benefit not only from technical support in German and English but also from local data processing and DSGVO compliance: even in the cloud version, customer data remains in the ISO-certified data centre in Vienna.
