Why OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response?

Empower SOCs with near real-time threat containment and deep forensic visibility. Investigate attacks, isolate endpoints, and remediate threats fast, reducing dwell time, preserving evidence, and improving cyber resilience.

  • Integrated
    endpoint isolation
    Contain a threat instantly without leaving the investigation workflow, cutting off an attacker’s access while preserving valuable evidence.
  • Secure
    file remediation
    Neutralize malicious or unauthorized files directly from the forensic workflow, removing the threat while maintaining evidence integrity.
  • Remote
    process termination with real-time control
    Instantly kill malicious or suspicious processes on endpoints, no matter where they are, without waiting for other teams, tools, or physical access.

Use cases

Our DFIR solution is vital for breach investigations, insider threat detection, regulatory compliance, ransomware response, threat hunting, and eDiscovery. It empowers SOC teams to uncover root causes, contain threats, and ensure defensible reporting.

  • Uncover suspicious employee or contractor behavior such as data theft, sabotage, or inappropriate access. Use endpoint evidence, file access logs, registry analysis, and behavioral forensics to build defensible cases.

  • Identify compromised systems, isolate affected endpoints, terminate malicious processes, and delete or quarantine infected files, all without disrupting operations.

  • Proactively search for indicators of compromise (IoCs) using file hashes, domains, IP addresses, and custom YARA rules. Detect stealthy threats that traditional tools may miss.

  • Trace the infection vector, determine the scope of impact, identify the ransomware variant, and support recovery efforts. Reconstruct attack timelines to understand how the breach occurred.

  • Meet GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOX requirements by providing tamper-proof evidence collection, chain-of-custody integrity, and complete forensic documentation.

  • Investigate nation-state or highly skilled actor activity. Reconstruct attacker behavior, registry manipulation, and tool usage across extended timeframes.

    Key features

    From isolating compromised endpoints to neutralizing active threats and uncovering root causes, OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response empowers security teams to reduce dwell time, contain risks, and safeguard enterprise operations with precision.

    Enterprise-class endpoint scalability to over 1,000,000 endpoints

    Supports enterprise-wide investigations without performance tradeoffs, ideal for global environments.

    Artifact-driven workflows

    Allows analysts to rapidly triage endpoints, rather than imaging entire systems—a key advantage during live incident response where every second counts.

    Comprehensive threat analysis

    Enables DFIR teams to flag known malicious indicators such as running processes, IP addresses, file hashes, or DNS cache. This early warning helps identify and neutralize threats before they escalate.

    Zero-trust automation framework

    Supports collections in a zero-trust environment. It checks in every five minutes, delivering near real-time visibility into endpoint status and activity, whether the endpoint is on or off the VPN.

    Endpoint isolation

    Instantly contains threats while preserving forensic access, stopping lateral movement without losing context.

    File and process remediation

    Neutralizes malicious files without disrupting operations while immediately halting active threats, critical for minimizing attack impact.

    IoC scanning with YARA support

    Proactively detects threats using custom rules, enhancing detection precision and breadth.

    Registry search and live remediation

    Identifies and disables persistence mechanisms in real time, key for thorough threat eradication.

      OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response resources

      • It’s a unified platform that combines deep digital forensic investigation with near real-time incident response, allowing SOC teams to investigate, isolate, and remediate threats all in one place.

      • EDRs detect and alert. SIEMs aggregate data. OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response is designed for action, allowing analysts to dig deep into forensic evidence and take direct response actions like isolating hosts or deleting malicious files.

      • OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response is a new product that combines OpenText’s long-trusted digital forensics expertise with near real-time incident response capabilities, empowering security teams to act faster, contain threats decisively and maintain complete forensic visibility.

      • It’s designed for large enterprises, government agencies, and regulated industries, particularly those that require scalable, defensible, and proactive incident response capabilities.

      • No. While OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response supports deep forensic capabilities, it also offers intuitive workflows, simplified artifact-based collections, automation, and APIs that empower any skilled security analyst to act confidently.

      • Term licenses are available in one-, two-, or three-year terms. Pricing is based on a per-node model in which each license permits deployment on a specified number of endpoint “nodes” within your network. Once a node is covered, you gain unlimited usage of key components on that node.

      • OpenText Endpoint Investigator enables security teams to remotely collect, analyze, and preserve endpoint evidence. OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response expands DFIR capabilities from passive evidence collection into a proactive, real-time incident response.

      • OpenText Forensic is a digital forensics tool that has no response capabilities. OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response is a complete DFIR solution designed for SOC teams, internal investigators, and incident responders needing to conduct remote, live endpoint data collection and triage.
