About EDR and XDR

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools run as agents on endpoints and record detailed telemetry about everything happening on that device: every process that starts, every network connection, every file created, every registry key touched. This telemetry is sent to a central platform where security teams can investigate threats and remotely isolate compromised devices.

XDR (Extended Detection and Response) extends EDR beyond the endpoint to correlate telemetry from email, network, cloud, and identity sources. The most widely deployed EDR platforms in Indian enterprises are Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike Falcon, and SentinelOne Singularity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between EDR and traditional antivirus?

+

Traditional antivirus compares files against known malware signatures. EDR monitors behaviour - what a process does, not what it looks like. This makes EDR effective against novel malware, fileless attacks, and living-off-the-land techniques.

What is network isolation in EDR?

+

Network isolation cuts an endpoint off from all network communication while maintaining the EDR agent's connection. It's used during incident response to contain compromised endpoints while keeping them accessible for remote forensic investigation.

What EDR coverage is required under Indian regulations?

+

RBI IT Framework requires endpoint security on all devices. SEBI's CSCRF has similar requirements. CERT-In Directions 2022 require detection of 20 notifiable incident types - adequate EDR coverage is practically necessary for this.
