What is a BDU?
A EDR is a cybersecurity solution that continuously monitors the endpoints of an information system, i.e. computers and servers, in order to detect suspicious or malicious activity and block it.
In contrast to traditional antivirus software, which focuses primarily on prevention, an EDR goes a step further by offering in-depth visibility into system behavior, enabling rapid and effective response to security incidents.
The EDR collects and analyzes data, detects potential threats, and provides tools to proactively respond to and remediate these threats.
With the increase in sophisticated attacks such as ransomware, companies need advanced solutions to quickly detect anomalies and limit potential damage.
An effective EDR not only reduces threat detection time, but also minimizes the impact of attacks by automating certain responses and providing detailed analyses for a better understanding of incidents.
