Security News > 2022 > March > Why EDR is not sufficient to protect your organization
While the technology has an important role to play in investigating threats, too many organizations have made the mistake of relying on EDR as their first line of defense against security breaches.
EDR solutions are increasingly evaded by the latest malware and attack techniques, particularly when it comes to ransomware and zero-day exploits.
Organizations can not solely rely on EDR to keep their environments safe from the latest threats.
So why is EDR not sufficient on its own, and what can enterprises do about it?
Traditional EDR tools rely on behavioral analysis which means the threat has executed on the endpoint and it's a race against time to stop it before any damage is done.
Upon observing malicious intent or activity, the EDR will block it, and the security team will move in for remediation and clean up.
