endpoint▌

Performs digital forensics investigation on compromised endpoints including memory acquisition, disk imaging, artifact analysis, and timeline reconstruction. Use when investigating security incidents, collecting evidence for legal proceedings, or analyzing endpoint compromise scope. Activates for requests involving endpoint forensics, memory analysis, disk forensics, or incident investigation.

Detects fileless malware and in-memory attacks that execute entirely in RAM without writing persistent files to disk, evading traditional antivirus. Use when building detections for PowerShell-based attacks, reflective DLL injection, WMI persistence, and registry-resident malware. Activates for requests involving fileless malware detection, in-memory attacks, PowerShell exploitation, or living-off-the-land techniques.

Configures Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) advanced protection settings including attack surface reduction rules, controlled folder access, network protection, and exploit protection. Use when hardening Windows endpoints beyond default Defender settings, deploying enterprise-grade endpoint protection, or meeting compliance requirements for advanced malware defense. Activates for requests involving Windows Defender configuration, ASR rules, MDE tuning, or Microsoft endpoint security.

Detects defense evasion techniques used by adversaries in endpoint logs including log tampering, timestomping, process injection, and security tool disabling. Use when investigating suspicious endpoint behavior, building detection rules for evasion tactics, or conducting threat hunting for stealthy adversary activity. Activates for requests involving evasion detection, defense evasion analysis, log tampering detection, or MITRE ATT&CK TA0005.

Deploys and configures CrowdStrike Falcon EDR agents across enterprise endpoints to enable real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis, and automated response. Use when onboarding endpoints to EDR coverage, configuring detection policies, or integrating Falcon telemetry with SIEM platforms. Activates for requests involving CrowdStrike deployment, Falcon sensor installation, EDR policy configuration, or endpoint detection and response.

Implements USB device control policies to restrict unauthorized removable media access on endpoints, preventing data exfiltration and malware introduction via USB devices. Use when deploying device control via Group Policy, Intune, or EDR platforms to enforce USB restrictions. Activates for requests involving USB control, removable media policy, device control, or data loss prevention via USB.

Implements application whitelisting using Windows AppLocker to restrict unauthorized software execution on endpoints, reducing attack surface from malware, unauthorized tools, and shadow IT. Use when enforcing application control policies, meeting compliance requirements for software restriction, or preventing execution of unsigned or untrusted binaries. Activates for requests involving AppLocker, application whitelisting, software restriction, or executable control.

Implements memory protection mechanisms including DEP (Data Execution Prevention), ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), CFG (Control Flow Guard), and other exploit mitigations to prevent memory corruption attacks. Use when hardening endpoints against buffer overflow exploits, ROP chains, and code injection. Activates for requests involving memory protection, exploit mitigation, DEP, ASLR, or CFG configuration.

Configures host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDS) to monitor endpoint file integrity, system calls, and configuration changes for security violations. Use when deploying OSSEC, Wazuh, or AIDE for endpoint monitoring, building file integrity monitoring (FIM) policies, or meeting compliance requirements for change detection. Activates for requests involving HIDS configuration, file integrity monitoring, OSSEC/Wazuh deployment, or host-based detection.

Hardens Linux endpoints using CIS Benchmark recommendations for Ubuntu, RHEL, and CentOS to reduce attack surface, enforce security baselines, and meet compliance requirements. Use when deploying new Linux servers, remediating audit findings, or establishing security baselines for Linux infrastructure. Activates for requests involving Linux hardening, CIS benchmarks for Linux, server security baselines, or Linux configuration compliance.
