Definition
Protection for devices detecting and stopping malware and intrusions
Technologies
EDR monitors endpoint behavior for suspicious patterns. AI threat detection identifies malware from behavior rather than signatures. Automated response isolates compromised endpoints. Vulnerability management identifies and prioritizes patching. Device control manages USB, peripheral, and network access.
Applications
EDR detects and contains ransomware before it encrypts files. Behavioral AI identifies zero-day malware without signatures. Automated response isolates compromised laptops from the network. Vulnerability scanning identifies missing patches and configuration weaknesses.
Market and funding
The endpoint security market exceeded $15 billion in 2025. Every device in an organization needs endpoint protection.
