Endpoint Detection and Response EDR Guide

Endpoint Detection and Response has become essential for modern threat detection, providing visibility into endpoint activities and enabling rapid incident response.

Key Capabilities

• Real-time endpoint monitoring
• Behavioral threat detection
• Incident investigation and forensics
• Automated response actions
• Threat intelligence integration
• Historical data for threat hunting
