Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Monitor endpoints for suspicious activity utilising advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
Block malicious threats that antivirus alone may miss, using leading Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), which protects a wide range of devices using proactive alerts and manual monitoring.
Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly common, with attackers using high-level tactics to access sensitive data and networks. Relying on antivirus and basic security tools is no longer effective for detecting or remediating emerging cyber threats. For this reason, businesses should have at least a baseline security solution that is capable of detecting threats and blocking them before they can cause damage.
Croft’s Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is an advanced security tool that is installed on endpoints, including computers, laptops, and servers. EDR continuously monitors these endpoints for malicious activity, stopping threats before they can spread throughout your IT environment, causing costly downtime. Using information from its sensors, EDR not only detects threats, but it also records incident data, allowing security teams to investigate and respond to the intrusion.
EDR is a baseline endpoint security solution that is best suited for businesses with an existing internal IT team. It requires the expertise to monitor alerts and respond to threats as they happen. If you are at the start of building a cyber security strategy and want to improve your security posture, EDR provides a solid foundation for scalable security.

The Benefits of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Blocks Threats Antivirus Misses
EDR detects ransomware, phishing attacks, and sophisticated malware that traditional antivirus is unable to spot, helping to reduce the risk of cyberattacks disrupting critical business operations.
Provides Visibility
EDR allows you to monitor devices in real time as events happen, helping you to understand where threats have originated from and what devices pose a potential risk.
Enables Manual Response
EDR provides detailed data that allows your IT team to respond to and remediate threats quickly, including isolating compromised devices. EDR also records security event data to support investigations.
Compare Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) with MDR and XDR
This table provides an at-a-glance comparison of what EDR, MDR, and XDR security levels offer.
EDR provides advanced threat detection that gives detailed insights into device behaviour, helping to spot attacks that would otherwise be missed by a traditional antivirus. To achieve this, EDR still requires a member of your IT team to monitor and respond to events.
MDR builds on the foundations of EDR by adding expert human analysis and 24/7 monitoring. This allows your business to easily improve its security without the need to employ an in-house security expert to monitor alerts.
XDR widens the detection and response capabilities of EDR and MDR across your whole digital environment to include email, cloud applications (like Microsoft 365), and cloud infrastructure. This makes it ideal for businesses with complex, cloud-based networks.
EDR is an excellent starting point for businesses looking to improve their cyber security. It delivers powerful threat detection and response without you having to invest in a fully managed service like MDR and XDR. If you have the right IT support in place to monitor alerts and remediate threats quickly, EDR provides a robust foundation for future scaling to MDR or XDR should your security needs change.
