What are EDR and MDR? What is the difference?

EDR refers to Endpoint Detection and Response, which assists organizational units through a set of software. MDR refers to the Managed Detection and Response threat detection and response service, which allows organizations to handle cybersecurity incidents in a timely and effective manner through real-person services to avoid further losses.

If we take a cold as an example, EDR is a thermometer to detect malicious program intrusions; MDR is to add doctor consultation to prescribe the right medicine. A complete combination of the two can avoid aggravation of illness symptoms.

TeamT5 is the leading threat intelligence research team in the Asia-Pacific region. It understands the latest attack trends of interested parties, provides the latest information and analysis of security threats, and helps enterprises respond early.

The ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware we launched is like a thermometer to help enterprises detect malicious program intrusions and prevent ransomware attacks. It can also further scan and hunt threats through our solutions to help enterprises detect the precursors of ransomware operations and prevent the occurrence of ransomware attacks by employees. Laptops and other equipment have been kidnapped by malicious parties, even causing operations to be disrupted.
