Detection and response capabilities across email and endpoints
Organizations today face an onslaught of new and stealthy threats that are constantly evolving to bypass existing security measures. Having advanced detection and response capabilities, in addition to advanced protection, is essential to eliminate or minimize the impact of threats that do make it through defenses. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a great tool to detect threats that have landed on an endpoint, investigate the root cause, and mitigate the impact—but with its targeted focus on endpoints, EDR can’t see or influence important parts of the attack path. For example, while EDR can identify that a threat came into the organization via email, it can’t offer key details on the scope of compromised accounts and hence can’t remove or stop the spread of the threat. Given that 90% of malware incidents come from email, combining email with endpoint detection and response is a powerful capability.
