Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a security solution that is designed to detect and respond to potential threats and anomalies on endpoint devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

When a potential threat is detected, the EDR system will alert security personnel and provide them with the information they need to investigate and respond to the incident.
EDR systems may include features such as:
EDR is an important part of a comprehensive security strategy for endpoint devices and can help organizations to protect against a wide range of threats, including malware, ransomware, and other types of cyberattacks.
