Ransomware has arguably been the one key threat that has changed how an incident response is conducted. The speed and widespread impact of such attacks has highlighted the need for tools that provide analysts with a method to search across the entire network infrastructure. This is where endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools come into the picture.

EDR tools grew out of the traditional signature-based antivirus that permeated the industry for nearly two decades. Building on the capability to match hash values and other signatures, EDR tools bring much-needed distributed capabilities to security and incident response teams. There are a variety of commercially available EDR platforms, each with distinctive features, but at a high level, they can generally perform the following functions:

Monitor and detect threats on endpoints: This is where EDRs overlap with traditional antivirus. EDR platforms use a combination of signature matching,...
