Definition
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a solution that monitors endpoint activity to detect Threats and support response to security Incidents.
Human Explanation
EDR observes device behaviour and helps identify activity that traditional protective mechanisms may miss.
Why it Matters
EDR enables earlier Threat detection and faster Incident analysis.
Conceptual Boundary
EDR does not replace every other endpoint control. It is one component of layered protection.
Practical Perspective
EDR creates the most value when detected events lead to rapid analysis and an appropriate response.
