G DATA XDR

Agent

G DATA software that runs on an Endpoint. The Agent includes the sensors and communicates with a backend.

Agent ID

A value that uniquely identifies each Agent installation regardless of the device name. This makes it possible to manage devices with the same name within an organizational unit.

G DATA Cloud Backend

Any type of machine on which the services required to provide G DATA product services are run. You can provide various services such as incident detection, configuration, telemetry, or a web interface.

Endpunkt

A device with an operating system such as Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, or Android on which a G DATA Agent is installed. This can be, for example, a laptop, desktop PC, server, or a virtual machine. Currently, Microsoft Windows is supported. Additional operating systems will follow.

Endpunkt Sensor

A component (within the Agent) that runs on Endpoints and can collect events of a specific type. This includes, for example, creating or deleting processes/files, access to the Windows registry, entries in the operating system event log, or software uninstalls/installs.

Endpunkt Actor

A component (within the Agent) that can perform operations on Endpoints. This includes, for example, deleting files, terminating processes or preventing their execution, and blocking certain network connections.

Endpunkt Status

The current state of the Endpoint as measured and reported by the Agents communication channels. For example: installed.

Deployment-Beratung

Technical consulting on migrating your existing solutions.

Frontend

Any type of user interface that is visible to authorized users.

Kick-off

The Kick-off is the first meeting of our G DATA Security Operations Team with the relevant project participants in your organization.

NIS-2 Richtlinie

NIS directive stands for the "Network and Information Security" directive.

Onboarding

This refers to the practical implementation of the agreements defined in the Kick-off or the Review.

Response-Modul

This module is included in the G DATA Agenten. Through this module, our G DATA Security Analysts are granted access to the Endpoints in order to analyze and, if possible, remediate the security incident (except for the systems that you have blocked from this access via these access settings).

Review

In the Review, the target profile of your personal G DATA MXDR product is defined based on the findings and agreements from the Kick-off, which is then implemented in the Onboarding.

Setup ID

An ID that makes it possible to map an installation of the G DATA Agenten to its organizational unit.

Sicherheitsvorfall

Every alert (notification) that occurs on an Endpoint is initially an incident and is assigned a unique ID. In some cases, multiple alerts from different Agent sensors can be identified as related. In this case, the different notifications are consolidated into a single incident with one ID.

Threat Intelligence

Translated as "threat data". This refers to everything that G DATA knows about a file, a process, a URL, or similar, and can classify.

A common term in software development. It refers to a software function or software version that still works, but the use of which is no longer recommended. Normally, there is a newer alternative whose use is recommended.
