Evolution of EDR technologies
In the preceding section, we discussed the limitations of traditional anti-virus technologies in providing comprehensive endpoint protection. It’s in response to these shortcomings that EDR tools have emerged. So, what exactly are EDR tools?
According to Anton Chuvakin, as cited in Gartner (https://www.gartner.com/reviews/market/endpoint-detection-and-response-solutions), EDR is defined as a solution that records and stores endpoint-system-level behaviors, utilizes various data analytics techniques to identify suspicious system behavior, offers contextual insights, blocks malicious activities, and suggests remediation steps to restore affected systems.
Endpoint security isn’t merely about fortifying endpoints but should extend further. Best practices in endpoint security encompass continuous endpoint discovery, monitoring, assessment, analysis, and the reduction of attack surfaces. Adequate and advanced EDR tools should contain at least...
