What role does endpoint detection and response (EDR) play in cybersecurity risk management?

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) enhances cybersecurity risk management in organizations by providing real-time monitoring, detection, and response capabilities at the endpoint level. EDR solutions are designed to closely monitor endpoint activities such as file changes, unauthorized access, and potentially malicious behaviors. By continuously collecting and analyzing endpoint data, EDR helps organizations quickly identify and respond to security incidents, reduce the impact of breaches, and prevent future attacks. Additionally, EDR enables organizations to have better visibility into their network endpoints, detect advanced threats, and improve incident response times, ultimately strengthening the overall cybersecurity posture of the organization.
