EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solutions primarily focus on detecting and responding to security incidents rather than decrypting files. If the files are encrypted due to ransomware, EDR can help identify and contain the threat. However, decrypting the files may require a decryption key or specialized recovery services.
Is this answer helpful?

An EDR file that has been encrypted cannot be decrypted again.

Sangfor's Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution, known as Endpoint Secure, includes capabilities for ransomware recovery. This means it can help recover files that have been encrypted by ransomware. Specifically, it uses methods like file recovery and recovery via Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshot backup to restore data.

However, it's important to note that this recovery is focused on ransomware scenarios. If you are dealing with other types of encrypted files, the EDR might not be able to decrypt them unless they were encrypted by ransomware and the recovery methods apply.

Hi,

I do not know if i understand it completely but you may refer below breakdown of Sangfor EDR:

- Sangfor EDR monitors endpoints (devices like desktops, laptops, servers) for suspicious activities and helps mitigates security threats.
- Sangfor EDR uses various technologies like machine learning, threat intelligence, and behavioral analysis to identify, investigate, and respond to potential breaches.
- Sangfor EDR has Proactive monitoring for early threat detection, rapid response to suspicious activity, and vulnerability identification for prevention.

Hi, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution ais mainly engineered to identify and react to cybersecurity threats.
In the event that the files were encrypted as a result of a ransomware attack, a specific decryption tool might be necessary. For example, Emsisoft offers a decryption tool for some specific ransomware types.

Hi,
If files are encripted, you cannot decrypt them except you have the key to decrypt.

Installing EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) can help in investigating and understanding security incidents, including those involving encrypted files. However, EDR typically does not provide direct decryption capabilities unless integrated with specific decryption tools or methods. To address encrypted files, you'll need to determine the encryption method used, assess if decryption keys are available, and possibly use external decryption tools or engage with cryptography experts. EDR will assist in identifying the origin, extent, and impact of the incident, enabling you to formulate a targeted response strategy, but decrypting files may require additional specialized resources beyond EDR's capabilities.

To enable EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) to detect and analyze encrypted files, you need to configure the EDR agent to decrypt the files on the endpoint. This is typically done by setting the ` decryption.enabled` property to `true` in the EDR agent configuration file (usually located at `C:\ProgramData\Veeam\EndpointDetectionAndResponse\config.json`). Once enabled, the EDR agent will attempt to decrypt the files and analyze them for malware, ransomware, and other threats. Note that this may require additional configuration and testing to ensure proper decryption and analysis of encrypted files without compromising their integrity or confidentiality.

No,

Sangfor Endpoint Secure, the EDR component of Sangfor,  cannot directly decrypt files after installation if they've already been encrypted by ransomware.

However, Sangfor Endpoint Secure offers other functionalities to help with ransomware situations:

    Ransomware Detection: It can identify suspicious behavior associated with ransomware attacks, potentially stopping the encryption process before all files are affected.
    Rollback Capabilities: Sangfor Endpoint Secure might be able to leverage Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshots to restore files from a point before the encryption. This depends on whether VSS backups were enabled and hadn't been overwritten by the ransomware.
