✓ If you are using a version of Windows that does not include Exploit Guard (versions earlier than Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or RS3), EMET 5.5 is required for Exploit protection to work. If EMET is not installed, we recommend to upgrade to the latest Windows version, because Windows no longer officially supports EMET. |

Response features
With response features, the Cybereason platform identifies a threat, and then you specify an action for the Cybereason platform to take. For example, you might instruct the Cybereason platform to isolate a machine or kill a process.
The Cybereason platform’s response actions fall into multiple categories:
MalOp response: Using the capabilities of the Cybereason platform’s EDR module, these actions enable you to address threats immediately. When the Cybereason platform detects a potentially malicious operation, the platform generates a MalOp. In the MalOp, you view, understand, and analyze the activities associated with the MalOp and respond accordingly to stop potential problems.
Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR): Using the Cybereason platform’s DFIR module, you can supplemenet the native response abilities of the Cybereason platform. These features help you automatically deploy and run incident response and forensic data ingestion tools using the Cybereason platform.
The Cybereason platform supports the following features in the operating systems detailed below:
