Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Endpoint Detection and Response

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a step up from antivirus.

Antivirus protects you based on what it already knows, matching malicious files found on your device to an existing list. EDR performs real-time scanning of files and behaviours and uses this to detect threat patterns.

How EDR works

Scanning Icon

Scanning

Real-time scanning on files and behaviours on your endpoints.
Analysis Icon

Analysis

Data is collected and analysed to establish threat patterns.
Alert Icon

Detection

If suspicious behaviour is detected, it isolates the file until it is validated.
Remediation Icon

Remediation

EDR also includes automated remediation, undoing any damage caused by malicious files.

As EDR continuously scans changes to your endpoint, threats are detected much faster than with antivirus. There’s no waiting for a virus list or a scan to act. EDR can immediately stop malicious behaviour and alert IT teams.

SentinelOne

By choosing EDR through Breakwater IT and SentinelOne, you get a detailed timeline of any incident. You’ll be able to view the history of any attack, including every alert. This helps to find the source of an attack to learn from it.

Additionally, we deliver a managed EDR service meaning there are real humans monitoring and responding to threats 24/7.
