EDR: Why Is An Endpoint In Isolation By The EDR Sensor Communicating With An Unknown IP Address?

EDR: Why Is An Endpoint In Isolation By The EDR Sensor Communicating With An Unknown IP Address?

Environment

  • EDR Server: 7.4.0 and Higher
  • EDR Sensor: 7.1.1 - 7.2.0

Question

Why is an endpoint in isolation by the EDR Sensor communicating with an unknown IP address?

Answer

  • Isolation does not prevent DNS queries; all UDP and TCP traffic on port 53 is allowed.
  • EDR also permits all UDP port 67 (DHCP) traffic.

Additional Notes

A later sensor version will further limit the allowed traffic, so that the sensor will only permit TCP/UDP to the assigned DNS server.
