Overview

Sandfly Security specializes in agentless Linux Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). Sandfly deploys instantly without the need for endpoint agents, ensuring high performance and stability across the widest range of Linux systems.

We address the critical need for comprehensive Linux security by detecting evasive threats, tracking SSH key abuse, and drift detection for novel and unknown threats all without impacting system performance. Our unique approach works across most Linux systems, including embedded devices and appliances, providing wide visibility that remains effective even as specific threats evolve.

With the increasing reliance on Linux for mission-critical systems, our vision is to set the industry standard for agentless Linux security solutions. Sandfly ensures robust protection for critical infrastructure that deploys instantly without the risk of traditional endpoint agents.

Key Capabilities / Features

Sandfly Security provides advanced, agentless Linux Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tailored to meet the critical security needs of modern organizations. Its unique agentless design ensures seamless deployment without impacting system performance or stability, making it ideal for mission-critical infrastructure across cloud, on-premises, air-gapped, and hybrid environments.


- Agentless and Instant Deployment: Sandfly eliminates the need for traditional agents, allowing for immediate protection with zero downtime and no kernel integration, which minimizes risks associated with stability and security.
