What Does EDR Stand For?

EDR stands for endpoint detection and response, which is a type of security technology used to monitor and analyze endpoint data on a continual basis to create automated responses to security threats.

Endpoint detection and response solutions can alert IT security departments instantly of a threat and help them respond automatically. Plus, the data gathered by EDR applications can be analyzed in order to detect patterns and prevent future security threats.

About Critical Insight

Critical Insight is the only cybersecurity-as-a-service provider that prepares, monitors and responds to cyber threats, going beyond SOC-as-a-service offerings typical of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) offerings.

With a focus on organizations that deliver critical services – hospitals, local governments, utilities, school systems, and more – we provide end-to-end support to those with limited security teams or budgets to handle threats proactively and as they occur.

Based in Bremerton and Seattle, Washington, Critical Insight is a venture-backed company founded by former CISOs in the public sector. We are committed to training new analysts and providing the most up-to-date cybersecurity protection.
