Comparing EDR and MDR Cyber Security Audit Technology

Kennett Square, United States - September 22, 2021 / Pegasus Technologies /

Pegasus Technologies is a full-service IT service provider and a cyber security audit specialist. The multi-point threat detection services protect thousands of local businesses each year, including in the group’s local business community of Kennett Square, PA. As cybercrime incidents increase, Kennett Square businesses should be making an effective cyber security audit system a top priority.

Which is Better—Endpoint Detection Response or Managed Detection and Response?

The technology surrounding a cyber security audit continues to improve each year as the market realizes its vulnerabilities. As connections and innovation bring more people together worldwide, digital innovation is doing amazing things for productivity and streamlined collaborations. However, the advancement also comes with greater risk. 

Two of the most popular IT solution platforms for businesses are Endpoint Detection Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR). Here are four considerations that might sway the decision between them:

#1 EDR and MDR Carry The Same Purpose

EDR and MDR systems share a similar function: to identify intruders that hack into a network. Both threat-response tools serve as the last line of defense for a company's IT system. 

When cybercriminals breach a network, they enter what the security industry calls the “Enumeration & Spread” attack phase:

  • Enumeration extracts usernames and network information to find cracks in a system.
  • Spread uses software to steal valuable data and resources and conduct a damaging attack.

If a website or business network does not have an adequate system is not in place, a cyberattack is probably imminent.

#2 Endpoint Detection Response (EDR) is Comprehensive

An EDR system monitors servers and workstations to detect foul play. It also collects information on anything that may seem like a threat and runs analyses on this valuable data to determine trends of suspicious behavior on the network. If EDR identifies a legitimate threat, it notifies IT personnel and attempts to eliminate the issue before ransomware or another cyberattack manifests.

An EDR cyber security audit solution runs automatically, so corporate offices can increase efficiency. Pegasus Technologies can manage EDR if the business is not sizable enough to support an IT team.

#3 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is Fast

Some cyber security audit firms describe an MDR solution as more valuable than an EDR system because it monitors more activities. MDR also works faster, eliminates the need for full-time IT support staff, and provides the following features:

  • 24/7 monitoring
  • Immediate threat detection
  • Fewer breaches
  • Improved reporting
  • Reliable risk assessments

Any Kennett Square organization would do well to invest in a combination of EDR or MDR and a Security Operations Center (SOC). The SOC refers to a team of IT professionals who analyze the cyber security audit system’s automated reports and implement quick responses.

#4 A Combination Enhances Any Cyber Security Audit

Pegasus Technologies offers state-of-the-art technological solutions to increase productivity and efficiency, but security is an essential part of that approach. All types of businesses will benefit from a mixture of EDR and MDR systems, which the SNAP-Defense platform achieves with real-time threat detection and elimination. 

Technically, SNAP-Defense from Pegasus Technologies is an MDR with a built-in EDR and SOC for comprehensive coverage, automatic compliance reporting, and advanced protection. CEO Matthew Tucker’s take on it is that “Pegasus is extremely excited to bring this next generation of cybersecurity protection to our clients. Adding SNAP-Defense to our already solid security product stack is critical in keeping everyone safe in an ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity."
