Performance is key in security

In the realm of cybersecurity, having the best malware protection is crucial for safeguarding an organization’s assets and day to day activities. When devices experience poor performance it can be an indicator of underlying security issues; slow systems with excessive resource consumption can signal that malicious processes are at work. While security features like threat detection and response, ransomware capabilities, and behavior protection are paramount, the performance of our security solution is equally significant. Elastic Security views performance as a critical factor in the effectiveness of our solution; getting all the results from above with no user impact when talking about CPU or memory usage has become our standard in developing and maintaining our agent.
