1. Endpoint detection and response (EDR)<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If someone connects to your network and they have malicious intentions, your endpoint detection and response system can provide detailed information about the device that connected, as well as data about its activity while joined to your network.<\/p>\n

EDR is a category of security tools for laptops, desktops, and servers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Examples include Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike Falcon<\/a><\/span>, SentinelOne<\/a><\/span>, etc. They watch endpoints for suspicious behavior, malware, strange logins, ransomware activity, weird processes, and they can isolate a device from the network if it looks compromised.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defender is best if your business already uses Microsoft 365 and has under 300 users; Sophos is strong if you want simple endpoint protection with optional managed help; Bitdefender is good for small teams that want easy protection against ransomware\/phishing without much cyber staff.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
