Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity solution that continuously monitors and collects data from endpoint devices (like laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices). Unlike traditional antivirus, which primarily relies on signature-based detection, EDR uses advanced analytics, machine learning, and behavioral analysis to detect and investigate suspicious activities that might indicate a sophisticated cyberattack.

EDR goes beyond simply blocking known threats. It provides deep visibility into what’s happening on your endpoints, allowing security teams to:

• Detect Advanced Threats: Identify fileless malware, ransomware, phishing attempts, and insider threats that bypass traditional defenses.
• Investigate Incidents: Collect detailed forensic data to understand the scope and root cause of an attack.
• Respond Rapidly: Automate or enable quick actions like isolating compromised devices, terminating malicious processes, and rolling back changes.
• Proactive Threat Hunting: Empower security analysts to actively search for hidden threats within their environment.

In essence, EDR provides a comprehensive view and control over your endpoints, transforming them from potential vulnerabilities into intelligent defense points.
