EDR

What is EDR?

FortiEDR is an endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution from Fortinet that provides real-time protection against advanced cyber threats targeting endpoints such as desktops, laptops, and servers. Designed for both prevention and rapid detection, FortiEDR combines behavioral analysis, machine learning, and automated response capabilities to identify and mitigate a wide range of attacks, including malware, ransomware, and fileless threats.

The solution operates in real time, offering continuous monitoring of endpoint activities and detecting malicious behavior as it occurs, without relying solely on signature-based detection. FortiEDR's machine learning algorithms allow it to identify previously unseen threats by analyzing patterns and behaviors, while its proactive defense capabilities block attacks before they can escalate.

FortiEDR also features automated response mechanisms, such as isolating infected endpoints, blocking malicious processes, and rolling back changes made by malware, minimizing the time and effort required to contain an incident. The platform provides detailed visibility into endpoint activities, enabling security teams to perform thorough investigations and forensics to understand the full scope of an attack.

With centralized management, FortiEDR simplifies the administration of endpoint security across an organization. It integrates seamlessly with other Fortinet products like FortiGate firewalls and FortiSIEM to create a cohesive, layered security architecture. Its scalability makes it suitable for businesses of all sizes, offering comprehensive, real-time endpoint protection.
