Endpoint Detection and Response products are grouped into categories based on their architecture and capabilities. Agent-based EDR deploys software on each endpoint. Cloud-native EDR sends telemetry to cloud analytics. Leading platforms include CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne, and Carbon Black.
