Antivirus software was once the gold standard for protecting your devices. But as cyber threats have evolved, so too has the need for smarter solutions. Enter Huntress Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
What’s the difference between antivirus and EDR?
Traditional antivirus:
- Scans for known threats and blocks them.
- Relies on a database of virus signatures.
Huntress EDR:
- Monitors all activity on your devices (endpoints) in real time.
- Detects and responds to suspicious behaviour, even if it’s a new or unknown threat.
Why Huntress EDR is essential for small businesses
- Real-time threat hunting: Huntress EDR doesn’t wait for a signature update; it identifies threats as they happen.
- Quick response: If a threat is detected, Huntress EDR can isolate affected devices to stop the spread.
- Comprehensive insight: It provides a clear picture of what happened, how it happened, and what to do next.
How Huntress EDR works
- Monitoring: Tracks all endpoint activity 24/7.
- Detection: Uses AI and machine learning to identify suspicious behaviour.
- Response: Neutralises threats before they cause damage.
