Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) protects endpoint as the top security priority by detecting potential threats and then give immediate respond to them. In practice, EDR software tools 24x7 collect and analyse data from the business endpoints and provide functions of surveillance and alerting. It greatly helps IT teams to monitor the endpoint privilege management.  

To make it simple, EDR is like a black box used on airplanes. It records flight history and data as well as EDR records endpoint devices’ endpoint data. Both of them are effective to prevent similar crashes or cyberattacks in the future.   

• Threat detection and response: EDR executes real-time monitoring and detection of cyber threats, with immediate response to protect enterprise network against varied cyber-attacks.  
   

• Instant incident response: EDR delivers fast incident response and detailed information on cyber threats, enabling swift containment and remediation.  
   

• Automation: EDR solutions are automated, easing the workload on in-house IT security teams and fasten the response efficiency to cyber-attacks.  
   

• Proactive threat detecting: EDR solutions help companies promptly detect and identify potential cyber threats before they strike.    
   

In conclusion, EDR solutions provide a powerful and effective way to bolster enterprise cybersecurity. Do invest in EDR solutions today to ensure the security and success of business for years to come.  

EDR focuses on collecting endpoint data and comparing it with malicious or anomalous patterns in the database to identify harmful data, to identify whether the data is harmful or not. In contrast, enterprise antivirus typically scans files on disk or computer devices and blocks known malware. If the file is identified as one of the malicious types from the database, the antivirus software will alert the users from opening the malware file.    

However, the number of malwares generated daily is much greater than those recorded in the database. Therefore, when a new malicious file is executed, it won't be detected by antivirus software. Antivirus solutions are not equipped to keep up with emerging cyber threats that enterprises face today, while EDR solutions can handle the latest cyber threats more effectively.   

EDR and Unified Endpoint Device Management play crucial roles in securing endpoints in an organization's network. EDR is focused on detecting and responding to advanced cyber threats that may have bypassed traditional antivirus solutions, while Unified Endpoint Device Management is responsible for managing and securing all endpoints, including desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and servers.  

By integrating these two technologies, companies can achieve comprehensive protection against varied cyber threats, from known malware to new zero-day attacks. The combination of EDR and Unified Endpoint Device Management allows for easier maintenance of good visibility into endpoint security, real-time detection and response to threats, and proactive management and security of endpoints to avoid potential losses caused by cyberattacks.  

In summary, EDR and Unified Endpoint Device Management are complementary technologies that work together to create a holistic approach to endpoint security suitable for organizations of all sizes.  

Endpoint protection is not limited to large companies and can benefit businesses of all sizes.  

In today's digital landscape, every organization are facing the risk of cyber threats, making endpoint protection an important component of their cybersecurity strategy. According to a survey by A SANS Endpoint Protection and Response, 44% of respondents reported managing between 5,000 and 500,000 endpoints. The problem of cyber threat is overwhelming to all sizes of businesses, especially for these small companies that do not have adequate human resource in IT security.  

Endpoint protection safeguards endpoints such as laptops, mobile devices, and IoTs from cyber-attacks. Without it, businesses leave their devices and networks vulnerable to malware, ransomware, and other cyber-attacks. Endpoint protection offers a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity by providing real-time threat detection, incident response, and continuous monitoring.  

In summary, endpoint protection is vital for businesses of any size to protect their assets and data from cyber threats.
