Cyber threats have moved far beyond viruses and spam emails.

🔍 EDR in a Nutshell: Real-Time Protection at the Endpoint

EDR is like putting a security guard on every device in your organization — servers, laptops, even virtual machines.

Instead of just blocking known threats like traditional antivirus, EDR solutions:

  • Continuously monitor device activity
  • Detect suspicious behavior (like encryption of hundreds of files in seconds)
  • Investigate threats automatically
  • Provide tools for rapid response (quarantine, rollback, etc.)

🧠 Key Benefit: You catch threats before they spread and do real damage.

🌐 What Makes XDR Different?

While EDR focuses on endpoints, XDR takes a broader approach. It connects data across your:

  • Endpoints
  • Email & collaboration tools (like Microsoft 365)
  • Network traffic
  • Cloud environments
  • Servers

XDR provides a single pane of glass to detect complex threats across your entire digital ecosystem — not just on individual machines.

Think of XDR as the control tower that sees everything, links events together, and provides unified protection and response.
