With so many acronyms out there, we thought it best to decipher two that we use often when discussing cyber security related projects. EDR – Endpoint Detection and Response. MDR – Managed Detection and Response.
EDR is a technology that continuously monitors desktops, laptops or phones. The idea is to detect the threat and remediate before the threat spreads across your network. It monitors activity in real time, analyses the data, generates alerts, provides visibility and tries to contain the threat.
MDR is a managed service that uses advanced detection and fast responses often utilising technology and human expertise. Monitoring leads to hunting by human experts, incident response, root cause analysis, reports and then statistics.
