This white paper introduces Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) as a critical evolution beyond traditional antivirus solutions. It explains how modern attacks leverage fileless malware, living-off-the-land techniques, and credential abuse to bypass signature-based defenses. The document outlines the core components of EDR, including continuous endpoint monitoring, behavioral analytics, threat hunting, forensic visibility, and automated response. It demonstrates how EDR helps security teams detect suspicious activities early, investigate attack timelines, and contain threats before major damage occurs. The paper positions EDR as a foundational element for modern endpoint security and SOC operations.
