Last Modified 21 авг. 2025 г.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is an integrated endpoint security solution that uses telemetry data to detect, analyze, and remediate cyber threats. Powered by Malwarebytes ThreatDown, EDR stops attacks against workstations and servers with security that catches what other solutions miss.
This article applies to all Endpoint Detection and Response Customers.
What is Endpoint Detection and Response?
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) encompasses cybersecurity tools designed to continuously monitor and address threats targeting endpoint devices in real-time. These endpoints include any network-connected devices, such as computers, servers, mobile devices, and IoT gadgets. EDR solutions are critical in detecting, analyzing, and neutralizing malicious activities on these devices.
Core Functionalities
EDR utilizes multiple solutions to provide a complete package for the security of your endpoints and servers. This includes:
- Continuous Monitoring: Constant data collection from endpoints. This includes file activity, network connections, process executions, and system registry changes.
- Analytics: Using AI and machine learning, EDR analyzes collected data to identify anomalies that may indicate malicious activity.
- Threat Detection: Identification of potential threats, including zero-day vulnerabilities.
- Automated Response: EDR can automatically respond to discovered threats, including quarantining files and isolating infected devices.
What is the difference between Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Endpoint Protection (EPP) services?
EDR and EPP differ in how they approach securing devices. EDR is a solution designed to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats in real-time. It provides comprehensive visibility into endpoint activities, enabling security teams to analyze the scope and nature of an attack. By leveraging behavioral analysis and machine learning techniques, EDR can identify known threats, zero-day vulnerabilities, fileless attacks, and other advanced threats. It also offers tools for incident response, such as isolating infected devices or rolling back malicious changes.
In contrast, signature-based endpoint protection relies on predefined threat signatures to detect and block malicious activities. It compares files or processes to a database of known malware patterns. While effective at preventing known threats, this method may be lacking in evolving malware with no corresponding signature. Its primary focus is prevention rather than investigation or post-attack response.
How to access Endpoint Protection and Response
EDR can be accessed in TeamViewer Remote or via the web app on the Remote Management tab, under the Endpoint Protection section.
How to view a specific device's protection status
The recommended method to access a specific device's status is through the device drawer. This is done by clicking the device name on the Device tab of TeamViewer Remote or within the device list.
The drawer will open on the right; select the tab with a shield and checkmark to access the EDR information for the device. The EDR device drawer provides the basic information for the device; this includes:
- Policy applied
- Malwarebytes device name and group
- Detections
- Suspicious activity
EDR is broken down into the following sections:
- Devices
- Detections
- Quarantine
- Suspicious Activity
- Reporting
