what is endpoint detection and response solution

An Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution enhances threat visibility and incident response by monitoring endpoint devices for suspicious activities, such as unauthorized access or malware infections, in real-time. EDR solutions use advanced detection techniques, such as behavior analytics and machine learning, to identify potential threats that traditional antivirus software might miss. When a threat is detected, EDR solutions provide detailed information about the endpoint’s activities and enable security teams to respond quickly and effectively to contain and mitigate the threat. This proactive approach helps organizations improve their overall security posture and response to cybersecurity incidents.
