What role does endpoint detection and response (EDR) play in a Zero Trust model?

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) plays a crucial role in strengthening zero trust models by providing continuous monitoring and response capabilities at the endpoint level. EDR solutions offer real-time visibility into endpoint activities, detection of suspicious behavior, and automated response to potential security incidents. By integrating EDR into a zero trust architecture, organizations can enhance their ability to enforce strict access controls, detect and respond to threats quickly, and create a more secure environment where users and devices are not implicitly trusted.
