Definition : EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)
An EDR, or Endpoint Detection and Response, is a cybersecurity solution designed to help protect endpoints in a network. Endpoints include desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and other devices that connect to a network.
The primary goal of an EDR is to detect suspicious or malicious activities on these devices, respond quickly to contain and mitigate threats, and investigate security incidents to improve protective measures to contain and mitigate threats, and to investigate security incidents to improve protective measures.
Key features of an EDR include:
1. Detection: Uses advanced techniques, such as behavioral analysis and artificial intelligence, to identify abnormal or malicious behaviors that could indicate a security compromise.
2. Response: Allows security teams to quickly respond to identified threats, often with automation capabilities to isolate affected endpoints, execute remediation scripts, or apply security patches.
3. Investigation: Provides tools for investigating security incidents, including forensic search capabilities and log analysis to understand how security was compromised and how to prevent similar incidents in the future.
4. Prevention: Although primarily focused on detection and response, an EDR can also include prevention capabilities, such as blocking known malicious behaviors and preventing the execution of malware.
EDR solutions play a crucial role in the security posture of modern enterprises, complementing traditional threat prevention technologies like antivirus, by offering an additional layer of protection that focuses on detecting advanced threats and quickly responding to minimize the impact of attacks.
