EDR
Endpoint Detection and ResponseDefinition
Endpoint Detection and Response is a cybersecurity technology that continuously monitors end-user devices to detect and respond to cyber threats like ransomware and malware.
Buyer context
EDR is usually the endpoint tool, not the managed service by itself. In provider evaluation, clarify who deploys it, tunes it, watches alerts, investigates detections, and performs containment actions such as host isolation or process termination.
