Called attacker dwell time, this is part of an adversarial approach that has become even more popular with hackers when it comes to 2021 ransomware attacks and data breaches.

Combating Dwell Time with EDR. Even one day is too many when it comes to adversaries camping out on your network, but rooting them out can be tough for resource-strapped firms on a tight budget.

A study by Kaspersky found that 28 percent of companies that implemented EDR solutions were able to cut dwell time to hours or less.

While EDR has been a staple for security teams for more than a decade, it's relatively new for small to mid-sized organizations to find themselves needing to bolster their security operations center with 24/7 monitoring.

Challenges persist for many resource-strapped organizations, which may have security staff but little-to-no security operations centers.

Advanced EDR includes automated services and a single cloud-enabled dashboard - giving SMB security teams a solid ROI.

With this unified product suite, teams are able to automate routine tasks while avoiding additional overhead on IT security resources.
