Your EDR Was Running. It Still Didn't Stop the Attack.

The victim had a SIEM. Had EDR. Had a mature program on paper. The controls existed—they just didn't do their job on the day. Offensive cybersecurity expert Adrian Culley on the only way to know whether your stack actually works: run the technique and watch. Dump credentials from LSASS memory—did the EDR block it? Did the SIEM rule fire? Did the SOC see it inside their target window?

How does EDR work? Architecture, monitoring, detection and response explained

EDR (endpoint detection and response) works by deploying sensors on protected endpoints to continuously collect selected behavioral telemetry, forwarding that telemetry to a centralized analytics layer, commonly cloud-hosted, that applies detection rules, behavioral analytics, machine learning and threat intelligence, and surfacing prioritized incidents in a console where analysts can investigate and respond.

EDR and MDR for SMBs: enterprise-grade protection without an enterprise SOC

EDR (endpoint detection and response) is no longer an enterprise-only technology. SMBs face many of the same attacker techniques as larger organizations, but generally have fewer security and recovery resources available to contain the impact. Modern EDR platforms, especially when delivered through MDR (managed detection and response) and extended where needed with XDR (extended detection and response), make enterprise-grade protection operationally feasible for MSPs to deliver to SMB clients.

Managed EDR and XDR services: how MDR delivers 24/7 protection for MSPs

EDR (endpoint detection and response) and XDR (extended detection and response) are technologies. MDR (managed detection and response) is the managed service that continuously operates them — the 24/7/365 SOC team that monitors, investigates and responds to threats on the client’s behalf, built on top of EDR, XDR, or another detection stack.

NGAV vs EDR vs XDR vs MDR: how to choose the right detection and response approach

NGAV (next-generation antivirus), EDR (endpoint detection and response), XDR (extended detection and response), and MDR (managed detection and response) are not four separate products bought independently — they are overlapping capabilities and delivery models. NGAV is a prevention capability, normally built into an endpoint protection platform or an EDR solution, that uses AI and behavioral analysis to block known and unknown threats.

What Is an Intrusion Detection System and How It Works

You're staring at a noisy SOC queue, the EDR console is full of endpoint chatter, the firewall looks clean, and yet something still feels off. That's the gap an intrusion detection system is meant to close. It doesn't replace your firewall, EDR, or XDR stack, it gives you the layer that turns raw network and host activity into security signals a SOC can triage.

Securing Financial Portfolios Against Modern Malware

The rapid migration of wealth management to cloud platforms introduces significant convenience for private investors. Managing a diverse set of assets now requires constant interaction with web applications. Digital dependency exposes capital to aggressive groups operating malicious software. Hackers regularly build malicious tools targeting financial balances and personal identification records. Standard defenses frequently fail against targeted threats. Protecting private capital requires a shift toward active defense measures.

Making Waves: Elastic named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave: Extended Detection And Response Platforms, Q2 2026

Elastic has been named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave: Extended Detection And Response Platforms, Q2 2026 report. The report recognized our SIEM-replacement capabilities, open data architecture, AI innovation, and endpoint protection. Here's what Forrester found and why we believe it reflects what we've been building.

EDR Compensating Controls Awareness

Seemplicity’s new EDR Compensating Controls Awareness feature reduces vulnerability backlogs by embedding live, asset-level endpoint telemetry directly into remediation workflows. By automatically mapping EDR policy configurations against specific CVE attack techniques, the platform determines if an active endpoint control already neutralizes a threat. Each finding is dynamically assigned a clear protection outcome, complete with an auditable evidence trail.
