Guven Boyraz has written an approachable book that provides a very good introduction to endpoint detection and response (EDR) while providing helpful insights to those with some knowledge of EDR tools.Part 1 begins with a short history of endpoint protection, how it evolved from antivirus to NGAV/EDR, and how endpoint security contributes to IT security. The author then covers EDR architecture, features and capabilities, and samples leading EDR vendors and solutions. Additionally, deployment models and use cases are considered.Part 2 jumps into the DFIR (digital forensics and incident response) lifecycle, enriched by scenarios including data loss, ransomware, email security, adversary-in-the-middle while highlighting the emergence of generative AI (ChatGPT specifically) integrations with endpoint security. The following chapter covers common EDR bypass/evasion techniques, use of syscalls, and touches on kernel-mode drivers. Best practices for system hardening, password management, and protecting remote endpoints are also mentioned.Part 3 illustrates the value of EDR telemetry, particularly focused on DNS logging. Chapter 7 covers numerous ways defenders can utilize EDR logging to inform their incident response, threat hunting, and system hardening efforts. The book closes with a look forward to the future, acknowledging that endpoint security is an evolving landscape.
