Enhance terminal security with EDR

It’s important to have robust solutions to protect your company’s IT systems. Especially in a context of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks.

In this article, we present a clear summary of what Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is, and why it’s crucial to the security of your endpoints.

Here are the key points to remember.

Data collection and analysis

EDR plays a fundamental role in the continuous monitoring of endpoints, such as computers and servers. It collects event logs, system files and network traffic data to detect abnormal or suspicious behavior. This data collection is crucial to identifying potential threats before they cause significant damage.

Threat detection

One of EDR’s major strengths lies in its ability to use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to detect advanced threats. Unlike traditional security solutions, EDR is able to identify fileless malware and other malicious behavior that might escape conventional defense systems. This enables companies to protect themselves against more sophisticated and less obvious threats.

Real-time reaction

When a threat is detected, speed of reaction is essential to limit the damage. EDR provides a real-time response, isolating infected endpoints, removing malicious files and blocking suspicious traffic. This ability to intervene quickly helps contain the attack before it spreads and affects other parts of the network.

Investigation and response

Finally, EDR provides in-depth visibility into security incidents, enabling security teams to investigate the origin of threats and understand how they infiltrated the system.

Thanks to automation and integration with other security tools, EDR speeds up incident response, reducing the time needed to neutralize a threat and restore security.

A proactive and reactive approach

The EDR approach combines proactive and reactive elements to strengthen defense against complex cyberattacks. By continuously monitoring endpoints and reacting quickly to threats, EDR helps prevent attacks before they cause significant damage.
