What is Endpoint Detection and Response?
Endpoint Detection and Response — Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a security solution that continuously monitors endpoint devices (laptops, servers, mobile devices) to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats that bypass traditional antivirus.
Endpoint Detection and Response Explained in Detail
Unlike signature-based antivirus, EDR uses behavioural analysis, machine learning, and threat intelligence to identify suspicious activity patterns on endpoints — even if the specific malware has never been seen before.
Key EDR Capabilities
- Continuous telemetry — Record every process, file, registry, and network event on the endpoint.
- Behavioural detection — Flag anomalous behaviour like unusual process chains or credential dumping.
- Automated response — Isolate compromised hosts, kill malicious processes, and roll back changes.
- Threat hunting — Search across all endpoints for indicators of compromise.
