Beyond the Alert. A New Standard for Endpoint Security

How Agentic AI Is Redefining Endpoint Security

In cybersecurity, the most pervasive danger isn’t the sophisticated zero-day exploit or the cunning phishing email—it’s the noise. It’s the relentless, deafening barrage of alerts from a dozen disconnected tools. It’s the flicker of a million benign events that security teams must sift through, searching for the single, faint signal of a genuine threat. For too long, security operations have been a needle-in-a-haystack problem, forcing brilliant analysts to spend their days chasing ghosts.

The result is a state of constant, reactive anxiety. Teams are overwhelmed, analysts face burnout, and despite billions invested in security stacks, attackers still find their way through the cracks. A streamlined security stack that integrates multiple security tools is essential for comprehensive threat detection and response, reducing complexity and improving overall cybersecurity effectiveness. The core limitation is clear: our tools are fantastic at generating data, but they leave the burden of creating insight squarely on human shoulders.

But what if your security apparatus could do more than just raise a flag? What if it could understand context, anticipate an attacker’s next move, and present a clear, unambiguous narrative of an attack, complete with the steps needed to shut it down? To address these challenges, organizations need an endpoint security solution that incorporates key EDR capabilities, such as behavioral analytics and real-time updates, to effectively detect, respond to, and prevent both known and imminent threats.

At Arambh Labs, we believe the future of cybersecurity isn’t about adding another noisy alarm to the system. It’s about fundamentally changing the defensive paradigm. Our approach, Agentic Defense, leverages state-of-the-art GenAI to create an AI agents that transforms endpoint security from a reactive chore into an intelligent, proactive, and seamlessly integrated function. This isn’t just another Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tool; it’s a new philosophy of defense.

The Crisis of Modern Security: Drowning in Data, Starving for Insight

Today’s Security Operations Center (SOC) is built on a foundation of powerful but fragmented technologies. You have your SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) aggregating logs, your EDR providing endpoint visibility, your NDR (Network Detection and Response) watching traffic, and your cloud security tools monitoring workloads. Each is a vital source of truth, but in isolation, they create a fractured view of the environment. EDR solutions endpoint detection and response play a critical role in providing visibility and context by continuously monitoring endpoints and supporting rapid threat detection.

This fragmentation leads to several critical problems:

• Alert Fatigue: The average enterprise SOC can receive thousands, if not tens of thousands, of alerts every single day. The sheer volume makes it impossible for human teams to investigate every single one with the necessary depth, leading to a high probability of missed threats.
• Lack of Context: An EDR alert about a strange PowerShell command is just one piece of the puzzle. Was it preceded by a suspicious login from an unusual location (seen in Identity logs)? Did it attempt to connect to a known malicious IP address (seen in Network logs)? Without automated correlation, connecting these dots is a manual, time-consuming process that can take hours or even days. Effective data collection and advanced analysis capabilities are essential for correlating events across different sources and providing the context needed for accurate threat detection.
• The Skills Gap: There is a global shortage of highly skilled cybersecurity analysts who can perform the complex detective work required to investigate advanced threats. Organizations are in a constant struggle to hire and retain the talent needed to operate their expensive security stacks effectively.

To address these challenges, organizations need integrated response solutions that empower the security team to act quickly and efficiently, leveraging the full potential of EDR and other security tools.

This operational reality is unsustainable. It burns out our best people and leaves organizations perpetually on the back foot, waiting for an attack to become obvious enough to be noticed.

Agentic Defense: A Paradigm Shift in Clarity and Intelligence

To solve this, we need to move beyond simple automation. Automation can execute a predefined playbook, but it can’t reason, strategize, or understand intent. Agentic AI can.

An “agent” in this context is an autonomous system that can perceive its environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals. Our AI agents are designed with one primary goal: to find and stop threats with the speed and expertise of an elite team of security researchers.

It achieves this by focusing on three core pillars:

1. Clarity in Complexity: Translating raw data into a clear attack narrative.
2. Intelligence that Anticipates: Moving from reactive detection to proactive threat hunting.
3. Actionable Decision-Making: Delivering precise, prioritized remediation steps, not just data dumps.

The key components of an effective EDR security solution include advanced threat detection, rapid response, and forensic analysis capabilities. Agentic Defense enables organizations to proactively hunt threats and empowers security professionals to focus on high-value tasks by automating routine analysis and remediation.

Clarity in Complexity: Seeing the Full Story of an Attack

A breach is never a single event. It’s a story, unfolding step-by-step across your systems, often over days or weeks. Traditional tools might show you a single page of this story—a malicious file detected here, a suspicious process there. Agentic Defense reads the entire book, from cover to cover, and tells you how it ends. By integrating data streams from your existing EDR, SIEM, network, and cloud logs, our platform uncovers the entire attack chain, tracing the threat from its initial entry point to its ultimate objective. We apply various data analytics techniques to detect suspicious system behavior and analyze network connections, providing deeper insight into endpoint activities and potential threats.

Unmasking Sophisticated Evasion Techniques with Advanced Threat Detection

Advanced adversaries know how security tools work, and they design their attacks to fly under the radar. Our AI is specifically trained to identify these sophisticated evasion techniques that often fool signature-based and basic behavioral systems.

• PowerShell Bypasses: PowerShell is a powerful administrative tool, but it's also a favorite of attackers. They use obfuscation and execution policy bypasses to run malicious scripts that look like legitimate administrative activity. Our AI analyzes the intent behind the command, flagging unusual parent-process relationships (e.g., Word launching PowerShell), obfuscated command strings, and fileless attacks that execute directly in memory.
• DLL Sideloading: In this technique, an attacker places a malicious DLL in a location where it will be loaded by a legitimate, trusted application. This allows the malicious code to execute with the privileges of the trusted process. Agentic Defense detects this by baselining normal application behavior and flagging when a trusted process loads an unsigned or anomalously-named DLL from an unexpected path.
• In-Memory Execution: The most advanced threats avoid writing to the disk entirely, executing their payload directly in system memory. This evades traditional file-scanning antivirus. Our platform performs continuous behavioral analysis and memory forensics, identifying the patterns of memory allocation, API calls, and process injection that are characteristic of these fileless threats.

Protecting the Core: Guarding the Crown Jewels

The ultimate goal for many attackers is to gain administrative control over your network. A key step in this process is stealing credentials. We provide specialized protection for critical system processes, most notably the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). Attackers target LSASS to dump credentials from memory. Our Agentic Defense model instantly detects and can automatically quarantine any unauthorized process attempting to access the LSASS memory space, preventing attackers from stealing the keys to your kingdom.

Keeping the Truth Intact: Lightning-Fast Forensics

A smart attacker’s first move after gaining access is to cover their tracks by modifying or deleting event logs. This is a race against time for security teams. Because our platform ingests and correlates data in near real-time from multiple sources (EDR, SIEM, etc.), tampering on one system is immediately cross-referenced against other immutable data streams. Our lightning-fast forensic analysis preserves this volatile evidence, ensuring that even the faintest whispers of a breach are heard loud and clear. Effective forensic analysis is essential for preventing data breaches by capturing and investigating all traces of an attack, minimizing risk and strengthening your overall security posture.

Threat Intelligence That Anticipates: The Science of Proactive Defense

True security isn’t just about a faster response; it’s about building resilience. It’s about being one step ahead. This requires a deep focus on the elusive science of persistence—the collection of techniques attackers use to maintain access to a system across reboots, credential changes, and even software updates. Deploying an EDR solution is essential to defend against advanced cyber threats, providing enhanced security and streamlined incident response.

Finding persistence is the difference between kicking an intruder out and changing the locks. Identifying infected endpoints and affected systems is critical for effective remediation, as it allows for the isolation and restoration of compromised devices to prevent further damage.

Unpacking and Eliminating Persistence with Endpoint Detection and Response

Our AI agents doesn’t wait for a persistence mechanism to be used in an attack. It proactively hunts for them. It understands the MITRE ATT&CK framework inside and out, continuously scanning for the tell-tale signs of common and obscure persistence techniques, including:

• Malicious Scheduled Tasks: Attackers create tasks that re-launch their malware at specific times or on system startup.
• Registry Key Modifications: The “Run” keys in the Windows Registry are a classic place for attackers to hide auto-start commands for their code.
• WMI Event Subscriptions: A stealthy method where attackers subscribe to system events (like a user logging in) to trigger their malicious code.
• New Service Creation: Attackers will often install their malware as a new system service to ensure it starts automatically with the operating system.

Agentic Defense dramatically breaks down these hidden survival mechanisms. Through the forensic analysis of these artifacts, we don’t just eliminate the active intruder—we bolt the door shut behind them.

This entire process is fueled by our state-of-the-art GenAI core. This isn’t just machine learning that recognizes a known bad pattern. This is a generative model that can reason about security events, link seemingly unrelated incidents across time and systems, discover novel attack patterns in real-time, and actively hypothesize about potential threats. It transforms your security posture from reactive to predictive. The platform also helps restore affected systems after an attack and ensures the appropriate response is taken for each detected threat.

Made for Actionable Decision-Making, Not Data Overload

We believe the output of a security investigation should be confidence, not confusion. Every investigation in the Arambh Labs platform concludes not with a dump of raw data, but with a clear, concise, and actionable intelligence report. Our role is to empower your team with the precise insight needed to remediate the threat and strengthen your entire security framework. Effective threat response and a comprehensive response solution are supported by robust endpoint protection platforms, which provide real-time detection, analysis, and remediation to ensure your organization is protected against evolving cyber threats.

Here’s how our Agentic Defense process works in practice:

Step 1: Isolate & Analyze

The moment a high-fidelity threat is confirmed, the AI can trigger an automated response to immediately quarantine the affected endpoints, severing their network connectivity to prevent lateral movement. Simultaneously, it begins a comprehensive forensic analysis, collecting all relevant data from every integrated source to build a complete picture of the event. Data analytics techniques and EDR tools are then used to collect and analyze evidence from the affected endpoints, enabling real-time monitoring, detection, and response to cyber threats.

Step 2: Illuminate the Path

The platform constructs an easy-to-understand timeline of the attack. It’s an open book, detailing exactly how the attacker got in, what systems they touched, what data they accessed, and what techniques they used. Throughout the investigation, the platform highlights both known threats and newly identified threats, making it easier to understand the full scope of malicious activity. This narrative is presented in plain English, supported by the underlying technical evidence for expert validation.

Step 3: Provide Actionable Intelligence

You receive a comprehensive report that is built for action. It includes:

• A high-level executive summary of the business impact.
• A complete assessment of the breach’s scope and impact.
• Specific, prioritized recommendations for remediation. This isn’t a vague suggestion to “harden endpoints.” It’s a clear checklist: “1. Patch CVE-2023-XXXX on these 12 servers. 2. Block these 5 malicious IP addresses at the firewall. 3. Reset the credentials for these 3 user accounts.”

These precise and actionable recommendations are made possible by the platform’s advanced analysis capabilities and key EDR capabilities, such as real-time threat detection, behavioral analytics, and automated response, ensuring effective cybersecurity defense.

Step 4: Grow Your Security Posture

The goal is not just to resolve a single incident but to make your organization stronger. We collaborate with you, using the insights from the investigation to identify and close systemic vulnerabilities, lock down your environment against similar future attacks, and strengthen your team's ability to prevent the next breach.
