Endpoint detection and response

As explained in Data-Driven Cybersecurity

Endpoint detection and response is a security technology that continuously monitors endpoint activity, detects suspicious behavior, and supports or performs automated response actions.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) continuously monitors endpoint activity, detects abnormal behavior, and triggers automated actions during security incidents. section 9.1

EDR supports a hybrid defensive approach by shortening dwell time, containing incidents quickly, and limiting their effects while security teams refine their defenses. section 9.1

Automated endpoint containment

When EDR identifies abnormal behavior, it can roll back malicious changes or quarantine an infected system, giving responders time to investigate and remediate the incident. section 9.1

How Data-Driven Cybersecurity covers it

How deep it goes
Defines continuous monitoring and automated responses, but does not detail EDR deployment, configuration, or investigation workflows.
Examples
Uses malicious-change rollback, compromised-endpoint isolation, and infected-system quarantine as response examples.
What you can do after
Operate EDR to monitor endpoints and initiate containment actions against suspicious behavior.
How it connects
Connects automated threat detection with containment, forensic investigation, remediation, and incident response.
