EDR is a cybersecurity technology designed to monitor and protect endpoints, which are physical devices like mobile phones, laptops, and IoT devices. It plays a crucial role in detecting and responding to potential threats by providing detailed security incident detection and investigation capabilities, ensuring the safety of an organization’s endpoints.

AI improves threat detection in EDR by analyzing large datasets to establish a baseline for normal behavior and identifying anomalies. As AI algorithms ingest more data, they become more effective at detecting breaches and reducing false positives, which leads to more accurate alerts. A report indicated that 70% of organizations are using AI in their threat prevention strategies.

AI accelerates threat response by automating specific remediation processes, allowing organizations to handle detected breaches more quickly and efficiently. This automation enables security analysts to focus on more complex breaches that require human intervention, ultimately improving overall response times and resource allocation.
