What Is EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)?
EDR Security vs Antivirus: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to endpoint security, many people are unsure of the difference between antivirus and EDR software. Both solutions have been created with the same goal in mind: protecting devices from harm. But several key distinctions make them different from one another.
- Antivirus (AV) security’s main objective is to detect and block, while EDR solutions detect, mitigate, and respond to malware and ransomware.
- AV uses signature detection methods to compare files on your device to a known set of malware signatures. EDR security uses advanced methods such as AI, behavioral analytics, and machine learning to detect and mitigate threats.
- Antivirus may detect a threat and quarantine it, but with the added power of Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), you can take advanced actions like rolling back malicious changes or carrying out forensic analysis.
- Antivirus software focuses on keeping your devices safe from malicious programs, while EDR security takes it a step further by safeguarding both the endpoint device and the network it’s linked to against any type of known or unknown threat.
