CrowdStrike

Once the EDR is set up on a workstation or server, monitoring starts automatically and the level of protection increases gradually. No action is required on your part unless otherwise requested.

Deployment phases

The EDR ramps up in three successive phases over approximately one month, under the supervision of Stoïk's cybersecurity engineers.

Phase 1 - Detection (observation mode)

• The EDR works like an intelligent antivirus without disrupting activity.

• It monitors system activity (files, processes, connections, etc.) and collects all relevant logs.

• It only blocks critical threats (ransomware, major malware).

For workstations only, Phase 1 is skipped and endpoints are set up directly at Phase 2.

Phase 2 - Enhanced prevention

• The first preventive actions are put in place and certain suspicious activities begin to be blocked automatically.

• Exclusion rules are added if needed to ensure compatibility with your business software.

• The quarantine engine is activated, which may cause conflicts with existing antivirus software.

• For customers with Windows Defender, this module is automatically disabled.

CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor may not appear in some fleet management tools such as Windows Security before Phase 2 is activated.

Phase 3 - Optimal protection

• The EDR blocks all malicious activity in real time. The security level is at its maximum and the IT system is proactively protected.

• The gradual ramp-up phases apply to the EDR module only. Other modules are automatically at maximum detection capacity from the start.

Monitored assets appear automatically in Stoïk Protect

Average time: 5 to 10 minutes after installation.

All protected endpoints appear automatically in MDR > Monitored Assets in Stoïk Protect.

If a workstation is renamed, its name is automatically updated in the monitored assets list.

It is not possible to rename a workstation directly from the list.
