In the ever-evolving world of cyber threats, sticking with just antivirus software is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Sure, it was great back in the day, but modern hackers are far more sophisticated. Enter Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) – the upgrade your cybersecurity strategy needs.

1. Old School Detection: Antivirus relies on known signatures to catch threats. New or unknown malware can easily slip through.

2. No Behaviour Monitoring: Antivirus does not continuously analyse how applications behave. If something appears legitimate but acts suspiciously, it may be missed.

3. Limited Visibility: Antivirus focuses mainly on files and applications, often overlooking network activity and user behaviour.

4. Reactive, Not Proactive: Antivirus typically responds only after a threat is identified. By then, damage may already be done.

1. Advanced Detection: EDR uses machine learning and behavioural analysis to detect both known and unknown threats.

2. Real-Time Monitoring: EDR continuously monitors endpoints and responds to threats as they occur.

3. Full Visibility: EDR provides insight into processes, user activity, and network connections, reducing the chance of threats going unnoticed.

4. Proactive Threat Hunting: EDR actively searches for malicious activity, including threats that may be dormant.

5. Rapid Response: EDR enables fast incident response and forensic investigation, helping teams quickly understand and contain attacks.

Antivirus software still plays a role, but it is no longer sufficient on its own. EDR adds advanced, proactive protection that strengthens your overall security posture. Upgrading to EDR helps ensure your organisation is better protected against modern threats.
