What is the difference between Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Antivirus?
What is the difference between Endpoint Detection and Response EDR and Antivirus? Antivirus is the prevention component of endpoint security, which aims to stop threats at each endpoint. When threats slip past an antivirus, our EDR solution detects that activity using anomaly detection, which can be programmed to automatically contain the threat before it can move laterally in your network.
