EDR Architecture and Its Key Components
In the previous chapter, I introduced the overarching concept of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) in the realm of cybersecurity. I stressed the need to distinguish between EDR as a comprehensive term encompassing various security practices for threat detection and response and the specific category of EDR tools.
As we dive deeper into the core theme of mastering endpoint defense, consider EDR tools as the primary weapons in your cybersecurity arsenal.
Throughout this chapter, we will navigate the modern landscape of EDR, exploring not only EDR itself but also its extended variations, such as Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and other detection and response (DR) tools with intriguing monikers. By the end of this chapter, you will have gained a profound understanding of the essential attributes an effective EDR tool should possess. Furthermore, we will delve into the fundamental architecture of EDR, offering several compelling reasons...
