While antivirus is an important tool in cyber security, a majority of experts believe that it’s not the only method to protect yourself from hacking and other cyber threats. To maximize the effectiveness of your cybersecurity solution you should consider including an endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution that works in conjunction with your antivirus to provide a multi-layered security approach.

EDR solutions, such as Cortex XDR and CrowdStrike, help organizations create a unified security system that has centralized control over their digital boundaries. They also have the ability to respond quickly to malware attacks and other security threats. Compared to EPP which focuses on preventing security breaches, EDR provides greater visibility of all activity that occurs on your network.

EDR solutions employ advanced detection methods such as behavioral analysis and machine learning. This is different from antivirus software that rely on signatures or other factors to detect viruses. This helps them better understand what the malware is doing and how it could affect your business. They can also detect new types of malware that antivirus programs might miss.

Josh Brunty spent more than a decade working in cybersecurity, first as a digital-forensics analyst at the West Virginia State Police and later as a computer security professor at Marshall University. He was still not able to grasp the message that’s become intuitive to many people who work in the field that it’s no longer necessary for most computers to pay for antivirus security.
