Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
Endpoint Detection and Response. Security software installed on laptops, servers, and workstations that continuously monitors for suspicious behavior and records detailed telemetry. EDR goes beyond traditional antivirus by detecting fileless attacks, living-off-the-land techniques, and behavioral anomalies on individual endpoints.
EDR is the primary investigation tool for cybersecurity incident responders and SOC analysts. Platforms like CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and SentinelOne dominate the market. Proficiency with EDR is expected for any detection-focused cybersecurity role.
