Cybersecurity has been changing against modern threats over the years. Continuous technological developments and advancements drive this. The increasing complexity of cyber threats. In this article. We take a look at cybersecurity advancements, specifically focusing on Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
Introduction to Cybersecurity
Today no boundaries communicate with each other because of these cyber threats have grown exponentially. That is why cybersecurity has an important role in preventing sensitive information from unauthorized access. Advanced Cyber Protect Solution can protect personal and business sensitive data from malware, ransomware, advanced persistent threat (APT)
The Adaptation Cybersecurity and Cyber Threats
Back in the earliest days most of the security practices utilized traditional antivirus software and basic security awareness like password policy and firewall to prevent the threat to access from the network.
On the other side. Cyber threats also adapt themself to bypass the early stage of cybersecurity. The advanced persistent threat (APT), zero-day threats to bypass the traditional antivirus. Phishing, social engineering, and brute force bypass the password policy. With these exploits that mean the threat actor gains access to the internal system without dealing with the firewall.
The Traditional Antivirus adapts itself to Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Solutions
Since cyber threats have increased exponentially. The early stage of cybersecurity can’t keep up with this growth to prevent the system. Most businesses have to do the digital transformation to today’s standard. That means an increase in data and endpoints to protect. That is why we need a security solution that can adapt to this growth and complexity and the antivirus has become Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
The benefit of using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
Advanced Threat Detection and Real-time Response
The EDR has increased the ability and capability of antivirus by monitoring and analyzing the endpoint service and process and it’s intended to identify whether is a malicious process or not. This makes the EDR to be able to prevent unknown and zero-day threats in real time. This includes all types of endpoints – computers, servers, virtual machines, and mobile devices. It has the advantage of scalability and flexibility to manage all of the endpoints in a centralized dashboard.
Threat Hunting
Being proactive in identifying and neutralizing potential threats helps the security team to respond and investigate the incident with faster and more efficiency and also the capability to isolate the endpoint to contain and mitigate threats before they cause any damage to the system.
Automated Incident Response System
This will automate the important key decision to quarantine, delete, white-list, and roll back the attacked part.
The chain of event collections is to be ready to do the forensic of the incidents. This will help the security team to reduce the investigation time from a month to an hour.
The Future of EDR Solution
Augmented with AI and Machine Learning
Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in EDR solutions to improve threat detection capabilities. Cloud AI collects and centralizes all the incidents and uses them to train itself to increase its capabilities. This allows them to effectively identify malicious threats and zero-day attacks and respond to them in real time.
Today cybersecurity has to face new cyber threats that increase the technique and complexity. Antivirus has adapted to Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to deal with today’s cyber threats. EDR can monitor and identify threats in real-time, proactive threat hunting, and automated incident response. Help businesses and enterprises to effectively prevent advanced persistent threats (APT), zero-day attacks, and other malicious threats and activities. As for the future of EDR, the use of AI and machine learning in EDR will increase their detection rate to identify and respond to unknown threats. The Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is the standard for today’s cybersecurity posture.
