What is EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)?
Operations, IT, cybersecurity. A plain-English definition for Australian business owners.
EDR is a class of cybersecurity tools that monitor endpoint devices (laptops, desktops, servers) for suspicious activity and can respond to threats automatically or with human intervention.
EDR replaces traditional signature-based antivirus with behaviour-based detection. For SMEs, EDR is increasingly considered table-stakes alongside MFA and backups.
In a connected back office this sits with the Operations hub, where Valont runs it support, cybersecurity and cloud systems for Australian SMEs as one team. The full definition set is on the glossary.
