What is Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Software?
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a layered, integrated endpoint security solution that monitors end-user devices continuously in addition to collecting endpoint data with a rule-based automated response. EDR platforms record and remotely store system-level behaviors of endpoints, analyze these behaviors to detect suspicious activity and provide various response and remediation options. EDR agents collect and analyze data from endpoints and respond to threats that have appeared to bypass existing antivirus (AV) protections and continue to analyze, detect, investigate, report and alert your security team of any potential threats.
