OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response
Uncover, contain, and remediate threats in real time
When forensic precision meets real-time response
Your security team faces the urgent need to investigate and respond to cyberthreats quickly in order to minimize damage, preserve evidence, and restore trust. Turn chaos into actionable insight.
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.
- 75%
improvement in threat response time
With integrated endpoint isolation, teams can contain a threat instantly without leaving the investigation workflow, improving response time. - 4x
faster threat remediation
Neutralize malicious or unauthorized files directly from the forensic workflow, removing the threat while maintaining evidence integrity. - 100%
control of threat environment
Ensure consistent visibility and actionability of risky activities 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 forensics investigation with near real-time incident response, allowing SOC teams to investigate, isolate, and remediate threats all from a single platform.
-
OpenText Endpoint Investigator performs remote, forensically sound evidence collection at scale (on- or off-VPN) to help investigators see what happened. OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response adds incident response capabilities, enabling SOC personnel to act on what happened by containing impacted endpoints faster and accelerating recovery. OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response provides complete DFIR capabilities in a single platform and is the unsung hero of cybersecurity. Customers who already have OpenText Endpoint Investigator (the DF part of DFIR) can add incident response (the IR part of DFIR) functionality simply by purchasing an add-on to their existing deployment.
-
EDR tools focus on detection and alerts. SIEMs aggregate data. OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response is designed for action, offering built-in forensic capabilities and response workflows, including endpoint isolation, file deletion, registry remediation, and memory analysis. It also facilitates SOC workflows by offering robust APIs that connect with existing SIEM, SOAR, and threat intelligence tools, enabling automation of response workflows, contextual enrichment, and playbook orchestration across your security ecosystem. SOC professionals can dig deep into forensic evidence and take direct response actions all in a single interface, resulting in faster decision-making.
-
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 Forensic is a digital forensics tool that has no response capabilities. It is designed for lab-based forensic analysis of seized or powered-off devices. OpenText Endpoint Forensics & Response is a complete DFIR solution designed for enterprise SOC teams, internal investigators, and incident responders needing to conduct remote, live endpoint data collection and triage.
-
Yes. Analysts can isolate Windows endpoints, terminate malicious processes, and securely delete files in near-real time, without disrupting forensic access or switching to another tool. These capabilities are natively integrated into the investigation workflow.
-
The platform is designed to operate under zero-trust principles, with secure, off-VPN data collection, robust access controls, and centralized command. It ensures no data is exposed during investigations, even in compromised environments.
-
It’s optimized for insider threat investigations, ransomware response, APT detection, endpoint triage, and compliance-driven audits. Use cases range from real-time breach containment to HR investigations and regulatory response. Built to support over one million endpoints, it offers automated agent deployment, real-time check-ins, and scalable collections across global environments, making it the ideal digital forensics and incident response solution for large SOCs managing thousands of endpoints.
