The Great Debate: On-Premise vs. Cloud based EDR

The document discusses strategic trade-offs between on-premises and cloud cybersecurity solutions, emphasizing cost management (especially for AI workloads), data control, and regulatory compliance under frameworks such as NIS2, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. It argues that on-premises or hybrid models can better address data residency, offline/air-gapped operations, legacy environments, and regional connectivity constraints. The piece includes brief case examples of a financial institution and an energy provider selecting Cybereason On-Prem for improved threat visibility and compliance, and highlights features like EPP/EDR, NGAV, offline detection, and machine learning. It concludes that organizations should align deployment models with business needs, regulatory requirements, and risk tolerance, potentially adopting a hybrid approach.
