EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)

Security technology that continuously monitors endpoints to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats in real time.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity technology that continuously monitors endpoint devices to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats. EDR solutions collect and record endpoint activity data, use analytics to identify suspicious behavior, and provide security teams with the visibility and tools needed to investigate and contain threats. Unlike traditional antivirus, EDR focuses on behavioral detection and post-incident forensics rather than signature-based blocking. Leading EDR platforms include CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and SentinelOne. CyberUp24 integrates EDR solutions into broader security architectures as part of its Engineering and SOC Optimization services.
