What is it?

EDR is a security solution that monitors computers and devices (endpoints) for suspicious activity and responds to threats in real time.

Why it matters

It helps detect and stop attacks that traditional antivirus software might miss.

Simple example

EDR alerts your IT team when it detects unusual behavior on a laptop, like unknown software trying to run.
