Time to Contain

EDR

EDR is endpoint detection and response: an agent on each endpoint that records activity and can isolate the host, kill a process, quarantine a file or run a script. Host containment almost always runs through the EDR, so a response platform's EDR actions matter most for time to contain.

EDR actions are the fastest to take and the easiest to scope, one machine at a time. They are also where a wrong action hits a user directly.

The scorecard counts six EDR actions: isolate, release isolation, kill process, quarantine file, run script and block hash.
