Security<\/p><\/div>\n
Like a plane’s black box, EDR security monitors and records dozens of data points during a cyberattack. This telemetry analyzes what contributed to the attack and prevents future incidents.<\/p>\n
Effective EDR solutions use behavioral approaches that search for indicators of attack to alert you of suspicious activity before a breach occurs. They also include threat intelligence, providing context like attribution and other details about the attacker.<\/p>\n
Detection<\/h2>\n
The threat detection capabilities of an EDR solution are a vital component in a comprehensive endpoint security strategy. Unlike traditional security solutions focusing on network protection, EDR is designed to detect and monitor malicious files and activity on endpoints. The result is a faster response time to incidents and more visibility into the attack lifecycle.<\/p>\n
Advanced threats are stealthy and require precise detection to be evaluated and stopped before they spread. An EDR solution can provide a range of detection techniques, including signature-based detection, machine learning algorithms, and heuristics, to identify anomalous activities. By correlating telemetry data from multiple sources, it can detect the lateral movement of a malicious file and alert security teams.<\/p>\n
Once a malicious file is detected, an EDR solution can contain and remediate the file to prevent further damage to the network. This includes restoring the file to its original state, stopping lateral movement, and eliminating malware infecting other endpoints. EDR also provides visibility into the incident, including the point of entry, network files and applications affected, and how it replicated throughout the network.<\/p>\n
