Endpoint Detection and Response. Basically a new term for antivirus/antimalware but that reports back to defenders and helps them respond to malicious software that may be on the device.

so it's malware.

"antivirus/antimalware" has gotten such a bad rap that it needed a makeover: EDR

[forward1]

The only difference between malware and security software is the intent of its author. Functionally they are equivalent however.

[boston_clone]

what part of EDR software seems malicious to you?

> new term

friend, the current term is XDR (eXtended Detection and Response - although that was a year or two ago and might be old in the market by now!)

[resfirestar]

XDR is a marketing term for a service that bundles or aggregates EDR with other types of enterprise level security monitoring. The endpoint part is still called EDR.

Quick, change it again so I can't know what you're talking about!
