Episode 111: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Certified: The CISSP Audio Course

Endpoints remain a primary target for cyberattacks, and protecting them requires more than traditional antivirus solutions. This episode explores Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), a modern approach to securing laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices. We explain how EDR tools provide real-time monitoring, behavioral analysis, threat hunting, and automated response capabilities. You'll learn how EDR integrates with SIEM platforms, supports forensic investigations, and helps contain lateral movement during incidents. CISSPs must understand how to evaluate, deploy, and tune EDR solutions to protect the front lines of enterprise environments.
