What is EDR?
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions monitor end-user devices — computers, laptops, tablets, servers, mobile devices — to detect suspicious behavior, block malicious activity, and investigate and respond to cyber incidents, such as ransomware attacks. These endpoints are often the primary targets for cyberattacks. By leveraging advanced technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence and continuously monitoring endpoint activity for signs of malicious behavior and anomalous activity, EDR solutions can quickly identify and respond to threats and minimize the potential damage cybercriminals can cause.
Endpoint detection and response is important for organizations because it provides them with enhanced visibility into their network and enables them to take a more proactive, real-time approach to mitigation, remediation, and response. By quickly identifying and blocking malicious activities, EDR solutions can help prevent the spread of advanced persistent threats across the network. Additionally, EDR solutions can provide detailed insights into the nature of an attack, allowing security teams to better understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors such that they can develop more effective countermeasures. Ultimately, investing in endpoint detection and response not only strengthens an organization’s security posture but also enhances its overall resilience against evolving cyber threats.
In Netenrich
When it comes to detection and response solutions, organizations have many options—for example, EDR, extended detection and response (XDR), and managed detection and response (MDR), with the choice dependent on their security needs, resources, and IT complexity.
However, in recognizing the dynamic nature of the cyber threat landscape, Netenrich has gone beyond conventional approaches to develop an adaptive MDR solution. Netenrich Adaptive MDR™, powered by Resolution Intelligence Cloud™ and integrated with Google’s SecOps technologies (SIEM, SOAR, Mandiant, and more), provides 24/7 monitoring and response by seasoned engineers. They have the experience to see what others might miss and are able to respond swiftly and precisely.
The Adaptive MDR solution is engineered to adapt to a shifting landscape and cater to the unique security requirements of every organization. Unlike rigid, one-size-fits-all MDR approaches, it prioritizes agility and refinement based on real-time insights and by operating on an continuous loop of data, detection, and response engineering, it delivers customized, adaptable protection aimed at facilitating autonomic security operations (ASO).
