The Death of EDR? The Next Evolution in Security
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) was once the future of security. It was the natural successor to traditional antivirus (AV) software, which had proven inadequate against modern threats. AV could catch known malware but struggled with anything remotely sophisticated. Then came EDR in the early 2010s, promising greater visibility, behavioral analysis, and the ability to detect and investigate threats in real-time. It sounded like a revolution, but in reality, it was just another stopgap - a patch on a fundamentally broken model.
