What Is EDR? Enterprise Detection and Response

Antivirus is simple, it takes samples of known threats, compares suspicious files to those known threats, and if they match, it blocks them. This is an important part of your security posture, however, it only takes you so far.

Our EDR security platform includes many automated and human managed features that antivirus doesn’t, including –

• Honey potting – There’s a reason ransomware is such a popular form of malware in the modern hacker’s tool belt: it’s effective. The sooner you can detect ransomware, the more likely you’ll be able to stop it from spreading and taking down an entire network. Our Ransomware honey pots enable faster detection of potential ransomware incidents but placing dummy files that appear high value on your computer and monitoring those files for activity.
• Persistent footholds – Catch hackers who are hiding in plain sight while plotting their next attack and give them a taste of their own medicine. To evade detection, attackers are abusing legitimate applications and processes to slip through the back door undetected. Once inside, they establish a quiet foothold and plan their next move—often the deployment of malware to cripple systems, or ransomware to encrypt and steal sensitive data. EDR eliminates these footholds.
• External Recon – Highlight external attack surfaces and expose easy entry points—so you can strengthen defensive perimeters and improve your security posture.
• Human Intervention – Our team of security experts work hand in hand with the technology and AI to ensure that the right actions are taken at the right times to keep you secure and your business efficient. Hackers don’t sleep, and With 24×7 staffing and monitoring, we don’t either.
