Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) refers to an approach to security that continuously monitors, detects, and analyzes the activities and events on endpoints, such as individual computers, laptops, servers, and mobile devices, to identify and respond to potential security threats.

EDR solutions collect data about endpoint activity, such as file operations, network traffic, process execution, and user behavior. This data is analyzed and correlated to detect anomalous or suspicious patterns that may indicate potential attacks or breaches. If suspicious activity is identified, an EDR system can respond automatically or through manual intervention by stopping suspicious processes, blocking access, or taking other protective measures to maintain security.

The goal of EDR is to enable rapid detection and response to advanced and targeted cyber-attacks that may occur on endpoints, enabling organizations to more effectively deal with threats and minimize the impact of breaches.
