endpoint detection & response (EDR)

---

• Continuously tracks activities on endpoints, capturing system behaviours and data flows for analysis. 
• Ensures that all threats are detected as they emerge, minimising dwell time and preventing attackers from gaining persistence.

 Identifies anomalies, known malware patterns, and Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) using advanced techniques like:

• Behavioural analysis.
• Machine learning (ML).
• Threat intelligence integration.

• When a threat is detected, it enables automated actions like quarantining infected devices, killing malicious processes, or isolating endpoints from the network to prevent lateral movement and minimises further damage.

•  Enriching detection with external threat intelligence (e.g., known Indicators of Compromise) improves accuracy and helps in identifying emerging threats. 

Records and retains endpoint activity logs, allowing for deeper investigation and compliance reporting. 

Provides detailed event timelines, root cause analysis, and contextual data for security teams to understand the scope and impact of an incident.

•  AI-driven threat detection adapts to new attack techniques, reducing false positives and improving accuracy. 

•  Rapidly isolating infected endpoints prevents malware propagation, and remediation tools help restore normal operations. 

 Proactive threat hunting enables security teams to search for hidden threats that may have bypassed initial defences. 

•  A unified dashboard ensures that security teams have full visibility into endpoint security across the organization, enabling swift action. 

 Seamless integration with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) solutions enhances overall security posture. 

• EDR continuously monitors endpoint activities to identify potential security threats as they occur.
• Early detection minimizes the time attackers have to exploit vulnerabilities.

• Security teams can actively search for hidden threats and Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).
• Helps detect sophisticated attacks that may bypass traditional security tools.

• EDR enables immediate response by isolating infected endpoints, stopping malware spread.
• Automated response actions, such as terminating malicious processes or quarantining files, reduce response time.

• EDR solutions help detect and contain threats before they can cause significant damage.
• Reducing dwell time minimizes data breaches and business disruptions.

• AI-driven threat detection analyzes behaviour patterns instead of relying on signatures alone.
• Identifies anomalies that may indicate zero-day attacks or advanced persistent threats (APTs).

• Provides detailed insights into endpoint activity, making it easier to investigate security incidents.
• Helps security teams understand attack vectors, root causes, and methods used by attackers.

• Many regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) require organizations to have strong endpoint security measures.
• EDR helps meet compliance requirements by providing logs, reports, and audit trails.

• EDR solutions integrate with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms.
• Strengthens overall cybersecurity posture by working alongside firewalls, threat intelligence, and other security tools.

• By preventing major security incidents, EDR reduces financial losses from data breaches, ransomware, and downtime.
• Automating threat response lowers the burden on IT and security teams.

• Minimizes disruptions caused by cyberattacks.
• Ensures endpoint security, allowing employees to work securely from anywhere.
