Endpoint detection and response

Endpoint detection and response software enables continuous monitoring and analysis of endpoint activity to identify and respond to threats.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions help organizations detect and respond to cyber threats that bypass traditional security measures. EDR provides real-time visibility into endpoint activity, enabling security teams to quickly identify malicious behavior, investigate incidents, and contain threats. These solutions are crucial for modern cybersecurity resilience.

The challenge

Your organization faces a growing challenge in detecting and responding to sophisticated cyberattacks. Traditional security measures often fail to identify advanced threats, leaving your endpoints vulnerable. The volume of security alerts is overwhelming, making it difficult to distinguish genuine attacks from false positives. This leads to delayed response times, increased dwell time for attackers, and ultimately, higher costs associated with data breaches and security incidents.

The solution

Endpoint detection and response addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.

Continuous real-time telemetry

Records every system event, including process creation and network connections, providing a forensic breadcrumb trail for investigation.

Behavioral indicators of attack (IOA)

Identifies threats in progress by analyzing sequences of behaviors in real-time, rather than relying on past attack signatures.

Automated remediation and one-click rollback

Automatically quarantines devices and rolls back file systems to pre-infected states, offering a critical defense against ransomware.

Advanced threat hunting tools

Provides a query language or AI interface for analysts to proactively search for stealthy threats that have not yet triggered high-severity alerts.

MITRE att&ck framework mapping

Integrates every alert with the MITRE framework, allowing analysts to understand an attacker's tactics and intent.

Direct cloud-native management

Uses a lightweight agent that communicates directly with a cloud console, ensuring protection remains active even outside the corporate firewall.

How to evaluate endpoint detection and response

1

Deployment model

Evaluate whether a cloud-native or on-premise deployment model best suits your organization's scalability and remote workforce protection needs.

2

Integration ecosystem

Ensure the EDR solution has an API-first architecture to integrate with SIEM, SOAR, and IAM systems for a cohesive security stack.

3

Total cost of ownership

Identify hidden fees, such as data egress and storage costs, to prevent budgeting failures due to usage-based expenses beyond the license fee.

4

Vendor stability

Assess the vendor's roadmap and M&A history to avoid vendor lock-in with a provider that may be acquired or deprioritize the product.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Endpoint detection and response RFP guide
  • What is your Mean Time to Detect (MTTR) and 'alert noise' ratio for a standard ransomware attack?
  • How does your agent maintain protection and remediation capabilities when the endpoint is completely offline?
  • Can you provide a detailed breakdown of data egress and storage costs for 90 days of raw telemetry?
  • Describe your most recent MITRE ATT&CK evaluation results and specifically explain any 'Configuration Changes' required during the test.
