Surveyor

Surveyor is a Python utility that queries Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) products and summarizes the results. Security and IT teams can use Surveyor to baseline their environments and identify abnormal activity.

Current Version: 2.5.0

Version 2.0 introduced breaking changes to the command line interface and support for SentinelOne. If you are looking for the prior version of Surveyor, see past releases.

If you are new to version 2.X please see the Getting started page of the wiki and explore the new command line interface via surveyor.py --help.

Analyze your endpoints

Surveyor uses both definition files and pre-built queries to run searches across an environment and provide insights into what applications or activities exist within an enterprise, who is using them, and how.

Surveyor currently supports the following EDR platforms:

• Cortex XDR
• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
• SentinelOne
• VMware Carbon Black EDR (formerly Carbon Black Response)
• VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR (formerly Carbon Black Cloud Threat Hunter)
