Endpoint security solutions range from signature-based endpoint protection platform (EPP) or antivirus (AV) solutions to extended detection and response (XDR) platforms that tie multiple security solutions together.
Organizations that are evaluating endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions need to ensure that the products they are considering will meet their needs in the following areas:
Threat Protection – Any evaluation of EDR solutions needs to start with the product’s ability to reduce the attack surface and to protect against the current and future threat landscape.
Ransomware Defense and Recovery – Organizations should determine the level of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities the solution uses for ransomware defense and evaluate rollback features on multiple types of systems.
Anti-tampering – An EDR solution should act as a kernel-level firewall to protect the system against operating system attacks or the manipulation of files and applications.
Operating System Support – Make sure your EDR solution can support the overwhelming majority of operating systems (working internally and working from anywhere), and licensing costs should be the same for both servers and workstations.
