EDR Implementation and Deployment Strategies

Until now, we have seen the broader concept of endpoint security and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools at a glance; we studied the popular ones, and we learned about the EDR/extended detection and response (XDR) architecture. In this chapter, we embark on an insightful journey into the realm of EDR/XDR tools tailored for enterprise networks. This exploration delves into the diverse capabilities of these tools, shedding light on optimal configurations to bolster network security and maximize the potential of these solutions through various deployment strategies. We’ll uncover the intricacies of individual configurations, prerequisites, and inherent limitations while steering you toward the application of best practices in securing your enterprise network.

In this chapter, you will learn about deploying EDR tools for enterprise networks. I will explore the capabilities of each, the best-practice configurations for security...
