What is EDR?

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity technology designed to protect devices in real time

EDR continuously monitors endpoint activity to detect suspicious behaviour in real time. Unlike traditional antivirus tools, EDR focuses on behavioural analysis, making it effective against zero-day attacks, ransomware, and malware.

It provides the following:

  • Continuously monitors endpoints and keep exhaustive record of activity to detect suspicious activity in real time.
  • Analyse data to determine whether threats warrant investigation and remediation.
  • Gives your security team prioritised alerts so they know what to address first.
  • Provide a full scope of breach to aid security investigations.
  • Automatically contain or remediate before it can spread.

In modern security environments, EDR plays a critical role as endpoints are often the primary target for attackers. It not only helps organisations detect and stop threats faster, but also provides the the insight needed to prevent similar attacks in the future.

EDR moves endpoint security from passive protection to active threat hunting and response, making it an essential component of a cybersecurity strategy.
