Endpoint Detection and Response
Connect your teams and data with our cloud-based security solutions, combining proactive defense and real-time threat detection all on one platform.
What is EDR?
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is an advanced cybersecurity technology that continuously monitors endpoints such as laptops, desktops, mobile devices, virtual machines, and IoT systems for suspicious activity. EDR tools not only log activity around the clock but also analyze this data in real time to detect threats and automate responses. When threats arise, EDR solutions can isolate affected endpoints and alert analysts with detailed forensic data. EDR tools are vital in modern cybersecurity strategies, especially with increasingly remote and hybrid work environments.

How it works?
Kaspersky Next EDR Foundations offers quick deployment through a user-friendly, cloud-hosted console with built in protection via expert defined policies. It simplifies IT security management by requiring minimal resources and no specialized staff. Businesses can focus on core priorities while ensuring endpoints stay protected. Key features include root cause analysis, user-based security profiles, and efficient vulnerability management all at a cost effective price.
Use Cases
Automated Threat Containment
EDR automates the containment of threats, guides remediation steps, and stores full event histories. This enables faster root cause analysis, incident rollback, and response planning with minimal manual intervention.
Forensic Insights & Threat Detection
Security analysts use EDR's forensic data and behavioral insights to proactively search for hidden threats within the environment such as fileless malware or long dwelling intrusions that standard tools miss.
Analysis & Lateral Threat Control
EDR identifies threats that bypass traditional defenses and automatically contains them limiting lateral movement within the network. It allows analysts to investigate how the breach occurred in each way.
Why you need it
- Detect Advanced Threats
- Minimize Breach Impact
- Support Compliance & Investigations
Core Features
Real-Time Endpoint Monitoring
Constant activity logging and surveillance across all connected devices, ensuring every action is tracked and evaluated.
Behavioral Threat Detection & AI
Uses machine learning and threat intelligence to detect suspicious behavior patterns (IOCs) beyond known virus signatures.
Automated Response
Immediate containment actions like isolating infected devices or blocking malicious processes are triggered as soon as threats are detected.
Forensics & Investigation Tools
EDR stores detailed logs and snapshots to support incident investigation, compliance, and post-breach analysis, enabling the reconstruction of a full timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Endpoint security and traditional antivirus software?
Traditional antivirus (AV) primarily focuses on prevention by using signature-based detection to block known threats. EDR, on the other hand, is designed to go beyond prevention. It continuously monitors endpoints for suspicious activity, collects data (telemetry), and uses advanced analytics, machine learning, and behavioral analysis to detect, investigate, and respond to both known and unknown threats, including fileless malware and zero-day exploits that can bypass traditional AV.
How does EDR work to detect and respond to threats?
EDR solutions work by installing a lightweight agent on each endpoint. This agent collects data on all activities, such as file changes, network connections, process creations, and user behavior. This data is then sent to a central platform for analysis. The EDR system uses threat intelligence, behavioral analysis, and automation to identify malicious activity. Once a threat is detected, the EDR can automatically or with human intervention, isolate the compromised endpoint from the network, terminate malicious processes, and roll back changes to restore the system to a clean state.
What are the key benefits of implementing an EDR solution?
Implementing an EDR solution provides several critical benefits. It significantly improves an organization’s ability to detect advanced threats that evade traditional security tools. It provides deep visibility into what is happening on endpoints, enabling security teams to conduct thorough investigations and understand the full scope of an attack. This leads to faster incident response times, reduced “dwell time” (the time an attacker is in the network), and a stronger overall security posture
Can EDR be used by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)?
Yes, EDR is increasingly accessible to SMBs. While traditionally seen as a tool for large enterprises with dedicated security teams, the rise of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services has made EDR a viable option for smaller organizations. MDR providers offer EDR as a service, providing the technology, expertise, and 24/7 monitoring needed to protect against sophisticated threats without the need for extensive in house resources.
