EDR tools, or Endpoint Detection and Response tools, are a type of security software that helps organizations to detect and respond to cyber threats on their networks. EDR tools are deployed on endpoints, such as laptops, desktops, and servers, and they monitor activity on those endpoints for suspicious behavior. When suspicious behavior is detected, EDR tools can take action to block the threat, such as quarantining the infected file or process, or terminating the connection to the malicious server.
EDR tools are an important part of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. They can help organizations to prevent data breaches, protect against ransomware attacks, and comply with regulatory requirements. EDR tools have become increasingly important in recent years as the threat landscape has evolved and become more sophisticated.
