Endpoint Detection & Response

Why Endpoint Security?

With hybrid work and the rise of IoT, endpoint security is no longer optional—it’s essential. While many security service providers offer Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions, comparing them can be challenging.

Here are a few key factors to help distinguish between solutions:

Endpoint Security Technology Checklist

Advanced endpoint protection can help you fight against today’s sophisticated ransomware threats.

Must-have features:

• Cloud-enabled technology compatible with a full range of enterprise devices and IoT
• Management servers hosted in the cloud to help accelerate deployment
• Automated remediation to help accelerate threat response
• Fileless attack features to find memory-resident attacks
• Machine learning analytics to detect malware, ransomware, and “zero-day” attacks
• Real-time host quarantine features to help stop threats in their tracks
• USB port blocking functionality to help ensure USB devices are used appropriately

Endpoint Security Technology Checklist

Most companies struggle to staff 24/7 security operations, requiring a fully managed service.

Key questions to ask your EDR provider:



1. Does your SOC offer 24/7 services?
2. What is your process for addressing and resolving threats, and how is it customizable?
3. How are machine learning, SOAR¹ automation, and intelligence subscriptions integrated?
4. What is your process for assessing, prioritizing, and communicating risks?
5. Can you also help with network security, cloud security, and user identity management?
