Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity solution that monitors and analyses endpoint activities (such as laptops, servers, and mobile devices) to detect, investigate, and respond to security threats in real-time.

EDR focuses on identifying suspicious behaviour or anomalies on endpoints that could indicate cyberattacks, such as malware, ransomware, or unauthorised access. It also provides tools for remediation, allowing security teams to isolate infected devices, remove malicious software, and recover from incidents.

Key features of EDR include:

  • Continuous monitoring and real-time threat detection on endpoints
  • Advanced analytics to identify suspicious behaviour and anomalies
  • Automated or manual remediation of security incidents

Implementing EDR involves:

  • Deploying agents on all endpoints to collect and analyse data
  • Setting up alerting mechanisms for potential threats
  • Automating responses or providing tools for manual investigation and remediation 

EDR enhances an organisation’s ability to detect and respond to cyber threats at the endpoint level, reducing the risk of breaches and data loss.
