Endpoint Detection and Response

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity solution that continuously monitors and collects endpoint data to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats. It uses behavioral analysis, machine learning, and threat intelligence to identify suspicious activities and provide real-time alerts. EDR tools enable security teams to quickly contain incidents, perform forensic analysis, and automate response actions to mitigate risks.

🧊Why learn Endpoint Detection and Response?

Developers should learn and use EDR when building or maintaining secure applications, especially in environments handling sensitive data or facing high cyber threats. It is crucial for implementing robust security postures in DevOps (DevSecOps), cloud-native architectures, and compliance-driven industries like finance or healthcare. Understanding EDR helps in integrating security into the software development lifecycle and responding effectively to breaches.
