About Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response

About Symantec Endpoint Detection and ResponseSymantec Endpoint Detection and Response performs the critical security tasks that detect, protect, and respond tothreats to your network. Symantec EDR: is comprised of the following control points:

Symantec EDR NetworkSensor

Processes the network stream in real time across all Internet ports and protocols and passes it throughvarious filters and detection engines. Symantec EDR can detect events on unmonitored endpointsas traffic passes through the scanner. Since Symantec EDR doesn't have SEP agent's information,Symantec EDR cannot provide all of the information about the endpoint. Such information includes theuser name, last check-in, or SEPM group.

Symantec EDR Gathers the information by proxying communications between Symantec Endpoint Protection clientsand Symantec and by leveraging SEP’s Endpoint Detection and Response Endpoint CommunicationsChannel functionality.

Symantec Email ThreatDetection and Response

Integrates with Symantec Email Security.cloud to uncover the attacks that enter your organizationthrough email.

Symantec EDR uses Synapse to correlate network event data with email event data, web event data, and endpoint eventdata. The Synapse correlation engine automatically matches events with SEP, Email Security.cloud, Web Security.cloud,and Symantec EDR to reduce the volume of security alerts. As incidents are detected, they are correlated with otherincidents discovered on your network to show overall attack patterns and prioritize the most significant threats.

Symantec EDR employs the following detection technologies:

Vantage Vantage is a signature-based detection engine that finds threats in the network stream.Insight Insight accesses the world’s largest reputation database and has reputation intelligence on over 8 billion

files. Insight is a Symantec-owned reputation request service for Insight reputation queries. This servicegathers information about the Windows executable files that are observed on endpoints.

Mobile Insight Mobile Insight performs similar analyses for Android applications as Insight does for Windowsexecutable files. In addition to tackling malware detection, Mobile Insight also detects privacy andperformance issues in mobile apps.

Antivirus engine The Antivirus engine is a signature-based technology that detects malware.Sandboxing Symantec's sandboxing technologies detonate files in a virtual sandbox environment, analyze the

results, and report each step of the observed behavior. Sandboxes use machine-learning technology tocompare the results to known, bad attributes. They then correlate your data with real-world data providedby the Symantec Global Intelligence Network to determine if the files are malicious.

Blacklists and Whitelists Symantec global blacklist and whitelist feeds, which are updated on the Symantec ATP appliancesregularly, accelerate detection and optimize performance. You can also create custom blacklists andwhitelist that you maintain through Symantec EDR.

SONAR Symantec Endpoint Protection includes Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response (SONAR)technology for process behavior detection and remediation. However, SEP provides no insight into thesedetails. When you integrate Symantec EDR and SEP, Symantec EDR can provide insight into SONARdetections. SONAR detects the system changes that have occurred on your managed endpoints, theorder that they occurred, and related file attributes. This information gives you greater visibility into theactivity that occurs in your environment.SONAR uses a heuristics system that leverages Symantec's online intelligence network with proactivelocal monitoring on SEP endpoints to detect emerging threats. SONAR also detects changes or behavioron the endpoints that you should monitor. SONAR does not make detections on application type, but onhow a process behaves.

Suspicious file classifier Symantec EDR uses a file classifier to analyze files with unknown dispositions. The file classifierbreakdowns files by their attributes to determine if the file is good or malicious. The classifier uses thedecision trees that are trained with millions of files.This technology uses machine-learning instead of signatures or sandbox detonation.

About operating roles, operating modes, and network connectionsYou configure each appliance for Symantec EDR with an operating role and an operating mode. Together, thesedetermine how the device is connected to your network and how it functions to protect your network and to report threats.

Operating roles | Operating modes and network connections

Operating roles

You can deploy the appliance as a management platform, network scanner, or all-in-one device. You assign the operatingrole when you run bootstrap on the appliance. These roles have the following functionality:

Management platform If two or more appliances are installed, one should be deployed in the Management platform role.A management platform hosts the EDR appliance console and displays incidents and endpoints at risk forall connected scanners. The management platform presents a comprehensive view of malicious activityon your network. The management platform also centralizes configuration, management, and reportingfunctions.The management platform does not scan network traffic.

Network scanner If two or more appliances are installed, all devices except the management platform should be deployedas network scanners. Each network scanner can monitor traffic on a different network and send its incidentdata to the management platform. Depending on the operating mode, the network scanner may blockmalicious traffic in real time.A network scanner does not have the EDR appliance console. You configure and manage the networkscanner from the management platform. Its incident data is consolidated with the incident data fromother network scanners and reported from the management platform. When your network expands,additional network scanners can be installed and connected to the management platform to protect thenew networks.

All-in-one If only one appliance is installed, it should be deployed in all-in-one mode. An all-in-one device performsthe functions of both the management platform and network scanner role.

NOTE

An all-in-one device cannot function as a management platform for network scanners. Only an appliance that isassigned the management platform role can manage a network scanner.

The roles you choose depend upon the throughput of network traffic. For small to medium-sized installations, you shouldhave one appliance running in the all-in-one role. For larger installations, you would install multiple appliances with oneacting in the management platform role and the remaining appliances acting as network scanners.

Running bootstrap to configure the appliance

To change the operating role of an appliance after initial installation, you must reinstall the appliance software.

Operating modes and network connections

The operating mode controls how your network traffic is processed. It also affects how the appliance is physicallyconnected to your network.

Symantec EDR operating modes and network connections describes the Symantec EDR modes that are available forthe appliances and the network connections that are required for each role. You must assign a static IP address to eachSymantec EDR network connection.

Table 6: Symantec EDR operating modes and network connections

Mode Description Network connections required

Inline Block In Inline Block mode, network traffic passes through theappliance between the endpoints and the Internet. Any filedownloads, accessed websites, and traffic that are consideredmalicious are blocked. Only Inline Block mode provides real-time protection against threats.The ATP 8880 model has two Inline interfaces in Inline Blockmode.

1 Management2 WAN2 LAN(Model 8880 only: 2 WAN and 2 LAN)

Inline Monitor In Inline Monitor mode, network traffic passes through theappliance between the endpoints and the Internet. Maliciousfiles, websites, and traffic are logged for visibility but are notblocked. Any threats that are found in Inline Monitor mode mustbe mitigated manually.Inline Monitor mode is often used as a test for systemperformance and to analyze potential behavior for blocking(from reports) before blocking is implemented. The physicalconnections for Inline Block and Inline Monitor modes areidentical, so no re-cabling is necessary when you switchbetween these modes.

1 Management1 WAN1 LAN(Model 8880 only: 2 WAN and 2 LAN)

Bypass (Inlinemode failsafe)

A physical appliance that is configured for Inline modeautomatically switches to bypass mode if the appliance cannotfunction. It also switches to bypass mode if it is turned off. Inbypass mode, Internet traffic continues to flow through theLAN port and WAN port, but no blocking or monitoring occurs.Normal operations resume when you restart the appliance orreenable scanning.Symantec EDR NICs operate in either standard NIC mode (nobridging between the LAN port and WAN port) or in bypassmode (bridging between the LAN port and WAN port) dependingon these circumstances:• Installed out of the box:

Standard NIC mode• Configured for Inline deployment:

Bypass mode• Configured for Tap deployment:

Standard NIC mode• Reimaged (factory reset) after any previous deployment:

Standard NIC mode

Same as Inline Block or Inline Monitor

Tap In Tap mode, the appliance connects to a Tap or Span port ona switch. The appliance monitors a copy of the traffic betweenthe endpoints and the Internet so monitoring incidents andlogging incidents do not affect network performance. Becausethe monitoring and logging engines work at different intervals,there may be a slight delay in detecting incidents. All threatsmust be mitigated manually.The 8880 model can monitor up to four monitor ports onseparate networks in Tap mode. The 8840 model can monitorup to two monitor ports on separate networks in Tap mode.

1 Management1 Monitor connection for each networkmonitored

Managementplatform

In management platform mode, all communications andmanagement go through the management port. Since amanagement platform appliance does not scan, only themanagement connection is required.

About appliance ports, connectors, and indicators

About selecting a network scannerThe following factors determine the number of recommended network scanners.

Hardware versus virtual Make this decision based on your current infrastructure. Users with extensive VMware investmentmight want to use virtual appliances. Users with little or no VMware investment should usehardware.Hardware solutions have bypass NICs, so on failure Symantec EDR continues to pass trafficwhen deployed inline. Therefore, real hardware is preferred for inline deployments.For more information, see the Installation Guide for your respective platform (physical or virtualappliance).

Available bandwidth The hardware solutions have higher throughput than virtual solutions.R220 and R330 have a throughput of 1 Gbps in their single NIC. R720 and R730 have two NICsthat can achieve 1Gbps each.See the Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response Sizing Guide for more information.

Total endpoints in the organization While each deployment varies, R220 and R330 have a capacity of approximately 10Ksimultaneous connections. R720 and R730s can support 25K simultaneous connections. Thesenumbers are for inline mode. In Tap mode, hardware can support approximately twice the numberof connections as inline.

Symantec EDR features If the deployment is to use mostly network scanning, then a separate scanner and managementplatform deployment provides room to increase scanning capacity. In this case, the physicalappliance has more storage capacity and is suitable for the management platform. The numberof scanners would depend on the number of ingress and egress points in the network and theamount of traffic at those points.An all-in-one deployment needs to be able to handle all the traffic for the projected growth of theorganization for the lifetime of the appliance. If the deployment functions primarily as SymantecEDR: Endpoint, then select an all-in-one deployment.

About network configurations and port connectionsThe following table describes the ways to connect Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response to your network.

NOTE

Port connections vary by appliance model, version, and role.

Where to place the appliance in your network for best results

Where to place the appliance in your network for best resultsThe placement of your appliance depends upon whether the appliance is a management platform, network scanner,or all-in-one device. The Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response appliance must be able to perform the followingdepending upon its role:

• Scan all network traffic coming into and out of the organization• Determine the source and destination of all traffic• Detect internal connection endpoints• Act as a network proxy for endpoints (if integrating with Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager)• Have a minimal affect on network performance

If your architecture includes a demilitarized zone (DMZ) and you integrate Symantec EDR with Symantec EndpointProtection, don't place the following in the DMZ:

• Management platform appliance• All-in-one appliance• SEP

Deploying the appliance between a proxy and firewall prevents Symantec EDR from detecting the IP address of thesource endpoint. So in this scenario, you must enable the X-Forwarded-For: header field. You might also need toconfigure your firewall to strip the X-Forwarded-For: header field.

Symantec EDR does not scan traffic between internal computers. The exception is when one of the computers is a proxyserver. The internal traffic that is routed to a proxy server is scanned because it is outbound network traffic.

If you want Symantec EDR to reach the Internet through a proxy server, you must treat the appliance as a trusted deviceand disable authentication. Symantec EDR does not support passing Basic Authentication credentials to the proxy.Symantec EDR supports Basic or Simple Password Authentication to the proxy.

You can use the management port for any of the following:

• To access the EDR appliance console.• For communication to Symantec's servers (e.g., LiveUpdate, cloud-based sandboxing, Insight, telemetry, etc.).• To facilitate communication to SEPM and endpoints for the endpoint proxy.

The management network should not be open to the Internet as a whole. If you need access to the management networkfrom outside, a VPN or short-lived Remote Desktop connection is recommended.

In Inline mode, the management port must be on a different subnet from the Inline interface.

The following figures show examples of network configurations.

NOTE

You can use the ATP 8840 or 8880 appliance in any of these configurations.

You might need crossover cables for Inline deployment if devices connected to WAN port and LAN port don't haveautomatic MDI/MDI-X configuration.

Physical appliance installation workflow

Proxy recommendationsThe following are Symantec's proxy recommendations:

Network scanning Proxy deployment options are as follows:• Deploy Symantec EDR between the internal network and the proxy.

This deployment configuration is recommended.When customers deploy Symantec EDR between the internal network and the proxy, it givesSymantec EDR full visibility of endpoint information.You must deploy Symantec EDR when you are load balancing proxies between the internalnetwork and a farm of proxies. This information ensures Symantec EDR can failover to the proxy.In this scenario, the LAN port of the proxy is the good place to plug in Symantec EDR inline.

• Deploy Symantec EDR between the proxy and their firewall.When customers deploy Symantec EDR between the proxy and their firewall, customers mustenable to the X-forwarded-for feature on the proxy. The firewall must have the ability to strip outthe X-forwarded-for tag. Customers should see the documentation for their firewall for instructionsfor how to remove this tag. The disadvantage of this deployment is that it requires more effort toconfigure.

Management traffic fromSymantec EDR to Symantecback-end servers

This proxy traffic does not support SSL interception. If the proxy server has SSL interception enabled,customers must create a policy to let Symantec traffic bypass. Such a policy prevents the proxy frominspecting Symantec traffic, thereby reducing resource demands.

Configuring the iDRAC on a physical appliance

About the iDRACThe Dell appliances include an integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC). This controller provides (among otherfeatures) remote console access to the appliance. Before you can connect a physical appliance to your network usingbootstrap, you must first assign a network address to the iDRAC.

The following procedures describe how to assign a static IP address to the iDRAC:

Configuring the iDRAC (8880 appliance only)

Configuring the iDRAC using a monitor, keyboard, and optional mouse

On the ATP 8880 model, the IP address can be assigned to the iDRAC. Assign the IP address either by using the frontpanel controls or by attaching a monitor, keyboard, and optional mouse to the appliance. Then use the System Set-uputility. Symantec EDR Model 8840 does not have front panel iDRAC controls, so you must configure the IP address usingthe System Setup utility.

For more information on iDRAC features and operation, refer to the integrated Dell Remote Access Controllerdocumentation at https://www.dell.com/en-us.

Configuring the iDRAC (8880 appliance only)Before you begin to configure iDRAC on the Dell 8880 appliance, make sure that the appliance is connected to AC power.When you do, it gives power to the iDRAC even if you do not turn on the appliance. When the service tag number appearson the iDRAC display, the iDRAC is ready to be configured.

Although you can use DHCP to configure the iDRAC network settings, a best practice is to assign a static IP address.

The iDRAC front panel has these three buttons for selecting, changing, and entering data:

✓ = Enter

< = Move the selection to the left or decrease the value (depending on the context)

> = Move the selection to the right or increase the value (depending on the context)

1. Press ✓ to enter the menu system.

2. Press > to highlight Setup and then press ✓.

3. With iDRAC highlighted, press ✓ .

4. Press > to highlight StaticIP and press ✓ .

The front panel displays a default IP address. You need to change only the numbers that differ from the static IPaddress you want to assign.

5. Press > until you have highlighted a number that you want to change, and then press ✓ to select it.

6. Press > to increase the value or < to decrease the value. When the correct number is displayed, press ✓ .

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each additional number you need to change.

8. When the static IP address is correct, press > until » is highlighted, and then press ✓ .

9. The display shows the default subnet mask (Sub). Use the instructions in steps 5 and 6 to modify values as needed.

10. Press > until » is highlighted, and then press ✓ .

11. The display shows the default gateway IP address (Gtw). Use the instructions in steps 5 and 6 to modify values asneeded.

12. Press > until » is highlighted, and then press ✓ .

13. The display asks if you want to set up DNS. Setting up DNS is recommended. Performing this task lets you programnetwork resources on the iDRAC based on DNS names, rather than requiring you to enter IP addresses.

To set up DNS, highlight Yes and press ✓ . Go to step 14.

If you do not want to set up DNS, highlight No and press ✓ . Then highlight Save and press ✓ . Configuration iscomplete.

14. The iDRAC displays the default address of the primary DNS server (D1). Use the instructions in steps 5 and 6 tomodify values as needed.

15. The iDRAC then displays the default address for an alternate DNS server (D2). An alternate server is optional butprovides redundancy in case the primary DNS server fails. Use the instructions in steps 5 and 6 to modify values asneeded. If you do not want to configure an alternate server, set all values to zeros.

16. When you are prompted to Save, highlight Yes and press ✓.

NOTE

Settings are not applied until you press Yes to save. If you walk away from the appliance before you save thesettings, the display eventually times out and all unsaved configuration changes are lost.

For more information on the iDRAC, refer to the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller documentation at http://dell.com/support/manuals.

About the data migration processWhen you upgrade to Symantec Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) v.3.1, your operational and non-operational data aremigrated to the product's updated Elasticsearch database. These data are defined as follows:

Operational data

Operational data corresponds to entities in the system such as endpoints, files, domains, and aggregates. This data isdisplayed on the dashboard event activity widget.

Operational data is migrated after the product is upgraded to ATP 3.1.0, but before the product is restarted. When theEDR appliance console is available after restart, the Symantec EDR admin can view all entities and the dashboard, withthe following exceptions:

• Related entities and incidents are not available until the migration of non-operational data is in progress.

Non-operational data

Non-operational data corresponds to historical events, incidents, command results, command states, and system log. Thisdata is migrated after the appliance is restarted after upgrade to ATP 3.1.0. This data is migrated in three phases:

• Phase 1– Migrates the events and incidents from the last 7 days.– Live response events from last 7 days are not migrated.– The time to complete this migration depends on size but should complete in the first 12 hours after the upgrade.– Splunk connector, Service Now, and Public API services are enabled after this phase is complete.

• Phase 2– Migrates the live response events from the last 7 days.– The time to complete Phase 2 depends on size but should complete in the first 2 days to 5 days after the upgrade.– No additional services are enabled after this phase is complete.

• Phase 3– Migrates all remaining indexes.

NOTE

The migration only moves indexes from the last 3 months.– The time to complete Phase 3 depends on the amount of data.– Reports, Criterion, and Backup restore services are enabled after this phase is complete.

NOTE

During the migration, Symantec EDR the System Health Indicator in the upper-right corner of the EDR applianceconsole displays as yellow. When the migration is complete, this indicator displays as green.
