Gartners Anton Chuvakin coined the term Endpoint Threat Detection and Response in 2013. EDR is compared to Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) when it comes to overall security capabilities. It identifies tasks that can enhance the overall security by alerting and deflecting common threats and enables the user to get early identification in case of any attacks. Endpoint detection and response is still in its infancy, but EDR capabilities are becoming an essential element of the enterprise security solution.”]
