Frequently Asked Questions
What is Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)?
EDR is a cybersecurity technology that continuously monitors endpoints (like laptops and servers) for threats. It records and stores activity data, then uses analysis techniques to detect malicious behavior and provides tools to investigate and remediate threats.
How does Sophos EDR differ from traditional antivirus?
Traditional antivirus primarily focuses on known malware signatures. Sophos EDR goes further by detecting unknown threats, suspicious behaviors, and advanced attacks using techniques like machine learning and threat hunting, while also providing tools for investigation and response.
Is this suitable for educational institutions?
Yes, this specific offering is tailored for educational institutions and includes features relevant to their environment, such as user-centric protection and compliance considerations.
