Summary
In this chapter, we began our exploration of endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools by defining them and discussing their core concepts. We then examined the intricate architecture of modern EDR solutions, focusing on their key components, such as agents and sensors. We further illustrated these concepts with a detailed example of agent components and a diagram of agent and sensor data. Finally, we introduced some of the most popular EDR tools in the industry.
In the next chapter, we will explore EDR tool deployment comprehensively with hands-on experience using Singularity by SentinelOne. I invite you to join me in this immersive journey, where we will unravel the complexities of endpoint security and delve into effective threat mitigation strategies.
