In the constantly evolving world of IT security, Nucleon EDR stands out by offering a complete solution for endpoint protection, while enabling advanced security customisation. This solution is based on a set of default Zero-Trust rules designed to block various families of malicious Techniques, Tactics and Procedures (TTPs):


  • Binary execution, 
  • Driver execution, 
  • PowerShell execution, 
  • ETC



These applications incorporate Zero Trust rules. Let's take the example of the "Hardening Execution" application. 

Within this application, a specific rule has been designed to carefully monitor all executions of new binaries. This rule ensures that whenever a new program or executable is launched, it is carefully analysed for potentially malicious activity. This means that even unknown new applications that could pose a threat are subject to rigorous inspection, reinforcing the security posture of the entire system. These Zero Trust rules are designed to ensure that nothing is taken for granted when it comes to security, and that everything is assessed for potential threats.



These rules are meticulously designed to counter potential attacks, and are regularly updated to keep abreast of the latest techniques employed by attackers.


Nucleon EDR goes even further by integrating the MITRE ATT&CK (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge) matrix. The MITRE ATT&CK matrix is used as a reference framework to describe the tactics and techniques used by attackers during security incidents. Integrating this matrix into Nucleon EDR's Zero-Trust rules adds a new dimension to security.


This integration enables Nucleon EDR to align its security strategy with real attack tactics and techniques, using the MITRE ATT&CK matrix as a reference model. As a result, Zero-Trust rules can be shaped to detect and counter malicious activity based on the specific attack patterns listed in the MITRE ATT&CK matrix. This means that organisations can strengthen their security posture by accurately targeting attack behaviour and reducing potential risks.


Nucleon EDR's flexibility is further enhanced by its Zero-Trust policy enforcement engine, which allows the solution administrator to build and enforce any TTP (Technique, Tactic or Procedure) listed in the MITRE matrix. This advanced customisation ensures that each organisation can tailor its security strategy to its specific needs, offering protection that is made to measure.


Ultimately, Nucleon EDR offers a unique balance between robust default protection, security customisation and MITRE ATT&CK matrix integration. This enables organisations to secure their digital assets while remaining adaptive to constantly evolving threats. With Nucleon EDR, IT security is no longer a compromise, but a harmonious fusion of protection and customisation.
