EDR monitors and records activities and workloads taking place on a device. Using various techniques, EDRs will work to detect any suspicious activity and respond accordingly.

Unlike traditional antivirus, EDR is designed to handle sophisticated threats, including zero-day attacks and behavioural anomalies that often evade basic security measures.

By choosing EDR, you can feel confident that this extensive protection against both known and emerging threats, will keep your organisation safe from cyberattacks.

How Does EDR Work?

The logging capabilities of EDR solutions can provide up to-date, real-time insights into endpoints, as well as always being on the lookout for emerging threats.

Primary Functions:

Monitor and collect activity data from endpoints that might pose a threat.
Automatically respond to any identified threat, work to remove or contain them as well as notify security personnel.
Forensics and analysis tools to research identified threats and search for suspicious activities.
Analyse data and work to identify any threat patterns.

EDR Vs MDR

Scope: EDR focuses on endpoints and provides detection and response capabilities on those endpoints. MDR, on the other hand, provides detection and response capabilities across the entire IT infrastructure. This means that MDR is better equipped to detect and respond to threats that may not be limited to a single device.

Operational Responsibility: EDR requires in-house teams to operate and analyse threat data, while MDR is typically managed by external security experts who provide expertise to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks

Proactive vs. Reactive: MDR is proactive, using threat hunting to find vulnerabilities before they cause harm. EDR is more reactive, focusing on detecting and responding to threats that have already impacted endpoints.

Automation: EDR requires manual threat response, which can be time-consuming. MDR automates threat responses, allowing organisations to quickly and efficiently address potential attacks.
