Enterprises are operating in a highly dynamic business environment, indicated by the rapid integration of high-tech devices and strategies. However, as organizations continue to leverage the cloud and manage hundreds of devices, they are facing increased threats to the sanctity of their data.<\/p>\n

Not only have data breaches continued to rise, but cybercriminals are becoming more dangerous in their attempts to steal precious organizational data. Research into the top ten breaches of the past decade shows that approximately 4 billion people have been affected<\/a> by such occurrences \u2013 and that\u2019s just the top ten.<\/p>\n

With cyberattacks growing in number and maturing in sophistication, MSPs are actively pursuing advanced security offerings<\/a> that allow them to level up security beyond the means of traditional antivirus.<\/p>\n

Conventional online tools don\u2019t provide the enhanced visibility required to identify and mitigate the danger posed by determined threat actors. In response, Bitdefender\u2019s Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) technology has emerged as one of the most promising tools aimed to counter modern cyberattacks as it provides advanced insights into endpoint activities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is endpoint detection and response (EDR)?<\/h2>\n

In simple terms, EDR monitors system activities and events that take place on network endpoints to allow administrators enhanced visibility. Therefore, they can identify any unusual or threatening incidents that would otherwise remain invisible.<\/p>\n

An ideal EDR tool is responsible for many activities, ranging from investigating incident data and validating suspicious activity to stopping it on time.<\/p>\n

Why is it important?<\/h3>\n

Contemporary workplaces have expanded beyond the conventional network of company servers and computer systems that work together in an enclosed environment. With rapid advancements in the field of personal gadgets, coupled with the rise of the BYOD (bring your own device) era, present-day offices are home to hundreds of devices operating at the endpoint of company servers.<\/p>\n

Consider this: Gartner predicts that the number of IoT devices deployed around the globe is expected to reach 25 billion by 2020.<\/a> And so, even though organizations conduct due diligence to protect their central servers through security protocols, endpoint devices still provide a way for hackers to access confidential data.<\/p>\n

Equipped with sophisticated technology, cybercriminals can siphon millions of dollars\u2019 worth of data without leaving any clue. By the time you know about it, it will be too late\u2013just ask Equifax<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That is where EDR proves to be invaluable. Utilizing behavioral analysis to identify threats, these systems allow you to trace and eliminate malicious intent activity before it accesses your central data.<\/p>\n
