Acronym for Endpoint Detection and Response—real-time threat monitoring and response for devices.
EDR stands for Endpoint Detection and Response. See 'Endpoint Detection and Response' for the full definition. EDR has become a baseline security requirement for most compliance frameworks and is considered essential protection beyond basic antivirus.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
When customers or auditors ask about your endpoint security, EDR is what they're looking for. It's a step up from antivirus and increasingly required for cyber insurance and compliance certifications.
