Endpoint Detection And Response (EDR)

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a consolidated solution for discovering threats across laptops, phones, servers, and internet-based assets. EDR provides continuous monitoring, attack analysis, and automated actions like quarantining malicious code.

How EDR Relates to Managed IT:

– Advanced tools applied across device fleets detecting known and unknown threats through behavioral analysis.
– Provides centralized visibility allowing operators to investigate incidents and enable rapid response.
– MSPs layer EDR into security stacks providing around-the-clock investigation and response.

Example:

A healthcare organization depends on its MSP’s EDR capabilities to isolate unauthorized access attempts and swiftly eradicate malicious payloads across clinician-used devices accessing patient medical records.

Key Takeaways:

– Unified solution delivering enhanced threat detection, focused investigations workflows, and corrective measures.
– MSP service enables 24/7 security operations vigilance, skill and manpower.
– Vital layer that reduces dwell time and damage for healthcare providers, manufacturers and financial services.
– WPG provides continuous endpoint oversight and elite response benches.
