# EDR setup: 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).

{% hint style="info" %}
For workstations only, Phase 1 is skipped and endpoints are set up directly at Phase 2.
{% endhint %}

#### 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor may not appear in some fleet management tools such as Windows Security before Phase 2 is activated.
{% endhint %}

#### 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a workstation is renamed, its name is automatically updated in the monitored assets list.&#x20;

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