Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a cybersecurity technology that monitors and responds to threats on devices, such as employee workstations, servers, and cloud workloads. EDR can help protect against cyberthreats like ransomware, fileless malware, and other emerging threats.
Here are some ways EDR can help:
Detect threats: EDR can detect threats in real time and analyze their nature.
Respond to threats: EDR can block or isolate threats, and send alerts to security teams.
Provide information: EDR can provide information about the threat, including how it was initiated, where it's located, and what it's doing.
Remediate threats: EDR can help eliminate threats before they spread, and can roll back damage caused by threats.
Analyze threats: EDR can provide forensic data about threats, which can help analysts identify the root cause of an event.
Reduce workload: EDR can respond to incidents automatically, reducing the workload of security teams.
EDR is often used as a second layer of security, after antivirus. EDR can be effective against emerging threats because it combines data and behavioral analysis to establish a baseline of regular activity.
