A new provocative eBook: "5 Questions to Determine: Is Your EDR Providing the Best Bang for Your Buck?" helps security executives who currently use an EDR solution determine if they're continuing to get their "Bang for the buck" from their EDR provider when compared to newer, equally-priced technologies as XDR. It's also an excellent resource for companies who are in the steps of choosing an EDR solution to deploy. Let's quickly look at the five questions you should ask to help decide if you should stay with your EDR solution or consider upgrading to an XDR solution.

Qualys announced the immediate availability of Qualys Multi-Vector EDR. Taking a new multi-vector approach to Endpoint Detection and Response, Qualys now brings the unified power of its highly scalable cloud platform to EDR. "Qualys Multi-Vector EDR provides our Infosec team with actionable visibility into our endpoints in terms of detecting malicious hashes provided by intelligent agencies as well as detecting potential malicious attacks through authorized processes, to keep our company assets secure." "Unfortunately, not all organizations have such a focus. Nevertheless, weaving in threat intelligence enables Qualys to combine in-house context and vulnerability management-driven prioritization with external context, representing an opportunity to achieve something greater than the majority of the market to date," said Mark Child, research manager, European Security, IDC. "We are proud to deliver Multi-Vector EDR to customers and extend into the detection and response market," said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO of Qualys.

Qualys announced that Infosys will integrate Qualys VMDR and Multi-Vector EDR into its CyberNext Platform, a managed security service offering. Powered by the Qualys Cloud Platform, Qualys VMDR and Multi-Vector EDR will collect vast amounts of telemetry from the Qualys Cloud Agent and multiple sensors, to combine with network information, for a broad view of the environment, going beyond just the endpoint.

How does Qualys Multi-Vector EDR differ from traditional EDR solutions? Qualys Multi-Vector EDR leverages the strength of EDR while also extending the visibility and capabilities beyond the endpoint to provide a more comprehensive approach to protection.

CI Security announced an expansion of existing offerings to include Endpoint Detection and Response with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection. CI Security's new Microsoft Defender ATP integration helps round out the company's 24/7 detection and response offering, Critical Insight MDR. The combination enables complete visibility into customers' environments, whether a physical network, cloud environment, zero-trust workforce, or any combination of the above.

Qualys today announced Qualys Multi-Vector EDR. Taking a new multi-vector approach to Endpoint Detection and Response, Qualys now brings the unifying power of its highly scalable cloud platform to EDR. Traditional EDR solutions singularly focus on endpoints' malicious activities to hunt and investigate cyberattacks. Multi-Vector EDR enables security teams to unify multiple context vectors like asset and software inventory, end-of-life visibility, vulnerabilities and exploits, misconfigurations, network traffic summary, MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques, malware, endpoint telemetry, and network reachability by leveraging the Qualys backend to correlate with threat intelligence for accurate detection, investigation and response - ALL, in a single, cloud-based app with a single lightweight agent.

Zimperium, the global leader in mobile threat defense, announced it has integrated with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection endpoint detection and response. Advanced threat forensics - Microsoft Defender ATP now has threat forensics including attacker IP/MAC, WiFi network details, malicious processes and apps, and reasons for device compromise or jailbreak;.

EDR is still recognized as quite efficient against many of the advanced threats security professionals encounter, but today's threatscape demands Next-Gen EDR solutions.

Many organizations regard Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) as their main protection against breaches. EDR, as a category, emerged in 2012 and was rapidly acknowledged as the best answer to...
