With a rise in remote work and the adoption of AI tools, understanding which cybersecurity solution is the right one has never been more vital. Sophos provides two robust solutions: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR). But how do you choose between them?
Let's break down these solutions.
Defend Against Active Adversaries with EDR
Sophos EDR is a powerful endpoint security solution focusing on the frontline—monitoring and protecting endpoint devices like laptops, servers, and mobile devices. It allows organizations to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats within their networks. EDR uses AI-driven analysis to provide deep visibility into endpoint activities, enabling security teams to analyze data, identify anomalies, and respond swiftly to suspicious incidents.
This solution is designed for businesses that can manage their security, but need to add enhanced tools to improve their threat detection and response efforts for individual endpoints.
Stop Advanced Human-Led Attacks with MDR
Sophos MDR takes a broader, holistic approach to protecting the network. MDR leverages the capabilities of EDR, but adds 24/7/365 elite threat monitoring, detection and incident response across the entire IT landscape. MDR stops advanced human-led attacks and takes immediate action to neutralize threats before they can disrupt business operations or compromise sensitive data.
This service is ideal for organizations that lack the resources or expertise to manage their own security operations. Sophos MDR helps partners elevate their service offerings, whether you are a solution provider or an MSP. You can include MDR to offer unparalleled cybersecurity without the heavy lifting of building and maintaining security teams on your own.
Which Solution is Right for Your Business?
Choosing between Sophos EDR and MDR depends on your specific needs. Channel partners can offer both solutions to deliver a tailored, scalable security solution that protects clients against the threats found in today’s digital landscape. This flexibility enhances client satisfaction and positions your business to become a trusted cybersecurity advisor.
