We have been running TRAPS now for several years and generally have been pleased with it.

We are still on premise and have not moved to their new cloud offering at this point.   The on premise lacks true 
remediation (at this point at least) past quarantine of files that the cloud version either has or will be getting in 
the near future from what I recall reading.   That said, remediation has not been a major issue since we have been 
running it as it has been very effective at stopping the majority of things.

We are currently running it on our PCs and most Macs) and are looking at deploying the Linux client now that it is out 
as well.

Subject: [SECURITY] Next Gen Antivirus / Endpoint Protection Solutions

Hello!

We are looking at some of the Next Gen Antivirus solutions. I know there are quite a few players in the game, but I’m 
currently interested in CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Sophos, Cylance, Carbon Black, and Palo Alto Traps.

I would love to hear about what others schools are using and how the experience has been. I know some players have EDR 
(Endpoint Detection and Response) built in or as an additional component. I’m strictly looking at the Antivirus at the 
moment, but do like the idea of being able to add EDR (or additional features) down the road if it is not built into 
the core product.

We are currently using Windows Defender Antivirus.

Thanks for the input!
