Summary of this book

Our educational odyssey commenced by delving into the landscape of modern cybersecurity threats and challenges. Why did we start with this? Because in order to understand and secure your digital assets, you first need to see the current picture of cyber challenges. From this foundational understanding, we articulated the paramount importance of endpoint security within the intricate tapestry of contemporary IT environments. By unraveling the intricacies of endpoint detection and response (EDR), we discerned that its definition is expansive, encapsulating all actions that defend endpoints, whereas EDR, as a product family, represents a specific set of tools.
