EDR
(Endpoint Detection and Response)
Security software that watches computers for suspicious behaviour and helps respond to attacks
What's it for?
Watches company computers for suspicious behaviour so attacks can be detected and contained quickly.
For example…
Security software detects suspicious activity and isolates the affected laptop
EDR spots a laptop launching an unusual PowerShell command, isolates the device and gives the security team a timeline of what happened
Think of it like…
Smart security camera on each desk computer, not only a locked front door
