As workers and data become more distributed, bad actors are capitalizing on weak security points. In fact, Forbes reports that cyberattacks are nearly twice as frequent in 2023 as they were in 2022. Attacks are not only more frequent–they’re more costly. Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report reveals that the median cost to victims per ransomware incident more than doubled over the past two years to $26,000, with 95% of… Read More

What Is the Difference Between Antivirus and EDR?

Security tools are not a new thing. For example, antivirus has been around since the 1980s. While antivirus is the OG, the adversaries’ tactics and techniques have evolved way beyond what antivirus was created to protect. So endpoint detection and response (EDR) was born of necessity because we need to go past simply protecting users from downloading malicious files. Compounding this, the pandemic pushed people, data, and devices out of… Read More

Looking for a threat detection and response solution for your company often feels like drinking out of a fire hose. There are so many threat detection and response tools out there, and you may have no idea where to begin, especially given the bleak fact that 64% of businesses have experienced a cyber attack, and 50% will experience another one. You’ve got to arm yourself for the cyber battle. Often… Read More

What Is the Difference Between EDR and SIEM?

protecting against cybercriminals

The world of threat detection and response is broad, with many different components. And each of those components must work together to fully protect your business’s digital assets. Security and information event management (SIEM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) are two pieces of the larger security puzzle. The ultimate goal is to eliminate dwell time (the amount of time an adversary goes undetected in your environment). While EDR and… Read More

What Is the Difference Between Threat Protection and Threat Detection?

Red Security Alert

Threat protection and threat detection are two essential elements of cybersecurity. “Protection” focuses on stopping threats, while “detection” is all about finding them. But neither protection nor detection can exist in a vacuum. The two have to work together—along with other strategic elements—to be effective. In fact, good threat protection is predicated on proper threat detection. And threat detection is meaningless without a way to protect one’s assets. Proper threat… Read More

What Is Threat Detection in Cybersecurity?

Cyberattacks are the most nefarious and organized threats modern businesses face. With cyberattacks happening every 39 seconds, taking calculated measures to detect and neutralize threats before your systems are compromised is of the utmost importance. This is where threat detection and response comes into play. Threat detection is the ability to quickly and accurately identify threats to the endpoint, network, applications, or other assets. Threat response is the mitigation efforts… Read More

How much does EDR cost?

Security solutions such as threat detection and response (TDR) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) have become the “go-to” for companies looking to better protect their data and prevent cyberattacks within their systems. Despite an average cybersecurity budget increase of 29% in 2023, cyber experts say they need a further 40% rise to be confident in their ability to mitigate security risks. While cybersecurity can be costly, the cost of… Read More

Depending on the research report, enterprises deploy between 40-70 security tools. So, let’s take a look at your options (in today’s threat landscape, doing nothing is no longer an option): 1. Do it yourself – run multiple POCs, purchase, install, integrate,… Read More

Can XDR Replace EDR?

Can XDR Replace EDR

In the world of cybersecurity threat detection and response, EDR (endpoint detection and response) is often touted as the most important element of a business’ security strategy. EDR, as its name implies, focuses on endpoint protection—meaning all the devices that connect to the business network. So, there’s a good reason for the emphasis especially given the distributed environments we all operate in today. Access to the endpoint gives adversaries access… Read More
