Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

EDR is endpoint security technology that continuously monitors end-user devices to detect and respond to cyber threats like ransomware and malware. Originally coined by Gartner Research analyst Anton Chuvakin, EDR solutions “record and store endpoint-system-level behaviors, use various data analytics techniques to detect suspicious system behavior, provide contextual information, block malicious activity, and provide remediation suggestions to restore affected systems.”
