EDR System – Endpoint Detection and Response
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is software that effectively defends against modern cyberattacks by detecting abnormal activities that may suggest a hacker intrusion. Traditional antivirus technology only analyzed files, focusing on identifying malicious software (malware). EDR, unlike a classic antivirus, is based on behavioral tracking and catches much more advanced threats. We offer our clients EDR system implementations from leading providers such as CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft, tailoring the choice to the client’s specific needs.
New Cybersecurity Challenges
Today’s adversaries (hackers) are increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect.. According to the CrowdStrike OverWatch Annual Threat Hunting Report, 68% of observed cyberattacks were carried out via remote machine access, command-line execution, or by running specially prepared shell scripts (text files with .bat, .cmd, or .ps1 extensions—small “programs” that automatically perform harmful actions on the system).
Currently, cybersecurity threats are less frequently based on malware, such as infecting a workstation/server with malicious software. Instead, they more often involve active hacker operations using system tools rather than harmful code.
How does an EDR system work?
EDR analyzes, monitors, and records information about system operations and processes on the end device. Thanks to agents deployed on endpoints, the system gains high visibility into local events on workstations and servers. It allows for the detection of threats hidden, for example, in computer memory, which is practically impossible for other systems. Many attack vectors—such as exploiting system or programming vulnerabilities (including Zero-day vulnerabilities), credential theft, sabotage, or phishing—will not be detected by a standard antivirus solution based on signature detection.
Key principles of EDR operation:
Based on machine learning and behaviorism
Analyzes and correlates endpoint events
Detects threats hidden in the computer/system memory
Blocks detected abnormalities
Effectively defends against ransomware threats
Best available EDR security solutions
As Exorigo-Upos, we are partners with leading EDR solution providers, including CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and SentinelOne.
CrowdStrike was named a leader in endpoint security solutions by both Gartner and Forrester. It can be observed that very often large companies have trusted CrowdStrike’s protection. From our perspective, we adapt the choice of the EDR system to the client’s requirements and needs every time.
