Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities have been added to Kaspersky’s Endpoint Security Cloud product. According to Kaspersky, the EDR capabilities will be available in test mode in 2021 in the Endpoint Security Cloud Plus tier.
How Does IT Administrators Take Advantage of Endpoint Security Cloud’s EDR Features?
Endpoint Security Cloud’s EDR features can be used by IT administrators to simplify and automate endpoint defence across their organisations’ endpoints, according to Kaspersky. IT administrators will be able to see attack spread routes, compromised file names and hashes, and other endpoint data through the Endpoint Security Cloud online management console.
IT administrators can also use Endpoint Security Cloud’s EDR capabilities to figure out how a threat gets to an endpoint, according to Kaspersky. They can then analyse endpoint data, fine-tune their organization’s security policies, and put in place additional safeguards as required.
