Thanks, my government (UK) has banned Kaspersky for use in their infrastructure, so I’ll follow their advice for my own. Not mentioned in the replies is BitDefender, I see they have a solution as well, I’ll evaluate.

Maybe Crowdstrike? I know I see it on our linux machines. I am not endorsing it one way or the other. I will say that we have had a couple of incidents where I thought it was taking up more cpu in a high cpu situation, but our admins turned it off, and that wasn't the problem. So I guess it's working ok. One of their updates caused some issues one time, and I don't recall the exact details, but I think that was a one off and they haven't done it again.
