What’s more, 60 percent of small businesses go out of business within six months of a cyber-attack. With endpoint detection and response, you can prevent some of the most sophisticated cyber-attacks from breaching your network, stealing your data, and damaging your reputation.
What Is Endpoint Detection and Response?
Endpoint detection and response, or EDR, is a cybersecurity solution that identifies, gathers, and neutralizes cyber threats within a network. EDR can be composed of a single tool, a portion of a larger managed cybersecurity suite, or a collection of tools that work together to protect your network.
An EDR solution constantly scans the endpoints of your network—the computers, printers, and other devices—for potential security breaches. If the system finds a breach or potential breach, it automatically initiates a response to contain and neutralize the threat.
Endpoint detection and response solutions can protect a network against malware, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). Because it looks at data and behavior on the network, it is considered an advanced threat protection solution that can adapt to find increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Why Does My Company Need an EDR Solution?
Sophisticated cyber-attacks cause a lot of damage to your network, your reputation, and your bottom line. Phishing and ransomware attacks can cost your company a lot of money to fix, and the ding to your reputation may be even more costly to repair. Losing data, whether it is your own proprietary information or the sensitive data of your customers, is costly to recover from, too. You can learn more about one type of these attacks, phishing, in our guide.
EDR finds and blocks sophisticated threats that other, more traditional cybersecurity software misses. It should be a part of any company’s robust cybersecurity plan.
