Agent Endpoint Security
Understanding Myrmex Agent and its security capabilities
Overview
Integration and Intelligence in Cybersecurity
The Myrmex Agent is an XDR solution capable of assuming both Security Endpoint and Security Collector roles, providing flexibility and scalability. The Security Endpoint is the agent used to protect computers and servers, monitoring and analyzing events directly on these devices. The Security Collector is designed to integrate with various external sources, such as firewalls, network equipment, cloud environments, and even third-party XDR, EDR, and antivirus solutions, enabling a holistic and centralized view of security across the entire corporate infrastructure. This modular architecture and integration with third-party systems allow Myrmex XDR to provide a comprehensive and customized security approach, leveraging data analysis from multiple sources to detect, mitigate, and respond to threats more efficiently and effectively.Automated Installation
With fully automated installation and native integration, Myrmex eliminates configuration complexity. MyrmexAI manages data analysis, eliminates the need for log parsing, and automatically creates recommendations and response steps. It’s like a super-intelligent anteater that understands the terrain, locates the best food sources, and adjusts its strategies without human intervention.Unique Advantages:
Automated Installation
XDR ready to use in just a few steps
MyrmexAI
Analyzes alerts, generates recommendations, and automates responses without manual playbook creation or initial alert analysis
Native Integration
Easily connects to third-party solutions and data sources, eliminating traditional integration complexity
Maximum Efficiency
Frees security teams to focus on strategies rather than operational tasks

Practical Example: Detecting a Sophisticated Attack
1
Antivirus
Only detects the known malware that initiated the attack
2
EDR
Identifies actions on the affected endpoint but doesn’t see external connections
3
Traditional XDR
Investigate events across the infrastructure but requires time and effort for configuration and analysis
4
Myrmex XDR
Detects threats across the infrastructure, automatically analyzes alerts, generates detailed containment and response steps, and executes proactive recommendations, all with Manduca AI support
By choosing Myrmex XDR, you get a comprehensive security solution that combines advanced threat detection, automated analysis, and intelligent response capabilities, all managed through an intuitive interface powered by AI.
