What is endpoint detection & response (EDR)?
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) or endpoint detection and threat response (EDTR) is a type of endpoint security system that is designed to keep a constant eye on end-user devices to detect and mitigate cyber threats, such as malware and ransomware.
EDR, as defined by Gartner’s Anton Chuvakin, refers to a solution that ‘records and stores endpoint system behaviours, uses various data analytics methods to identify suspicious activities, provides contextual insights, prevents malicious activities, and offers suggestions to restore affected systems.’
An EDR tool should also:
- Monitor and detect activity data from endpoints that could indicate a threat.
- Analyse any relevant data to identify threat patterns.
- Automatically respond to identified threats to remove or contain them, and notify the user.
- Utilise forensics and advanced analysis tools to research identified threats and search for suspicious online activities.
