Elastic Defend has many layers of protections that work in tandem to detect and eliminate threats. Some layers, like malware protection, operate before execution as soon as a threat is introduced to the file system. However, most layers operate after the threat is launched or executed. This includes malicious behavior protection and memory protection. In a realistic attack scenario where a user clicks on this threat, Elastic Defend would comprehensively detect and stop the attack in its tracks.
Description
We continuously see in support cases where customers have a misunderstanding of how Endpoint solution works vs classic Antivirus program.
Here was a thread about this and a very good answer in my opinion from Joe:
https://elastic.slack.com/archives/CEV9CFY8H/p1745238832190549?thread_ts=1745226563.493329&cid=CEV9CFY8H
We'd like to document this somewhere so that we can refer customers to it. Perhaps as an addition to a page like this:
https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/elastic-defend-requirements
or
https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-an-integration-policy-for-elastic-defend (where most protections are documented today)
