Intro - What is EDR
New threat patterns require a different approach. Zero day attacks, ransomware, and fileless threats all elude the antivirus solutions we previously relied on. At Meta Eagle we have been working hard to take threat protection to the next level with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), which uses AI to stay one step ahead of the next cyberattack.

EDR and why does it beat Antivirus ?
Where EDR fits in the cybersecurity universe:
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is crucial for protecting your devices from evolving threats. Traditional antivirus (AV) solutions, while effective against known threats, can fall short when it comes to managing attacks across numerous endpoints.
AV relies on detecting and quarantining known threats using virus signatures, which require regular updates. This leads to gaps in coverage, leaving devices vulnerable between updates. In contrast, EDR takes a proactive approach, using advanced AI and machine learning to detect suspicious behaviors, regardless of whether there's a known signature.
Cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics to evade traditional AV. They may change malware signatures regularly or use fileless attacks. EDR looks for unusual behaviors on endpoints and responds swiftly to mitigate potential threats.
Protect your devices effectively with EDR, ensuring continuous monitoring and proactive threat detection.
How EDR Solutions respond to Threats
We automatically protect and isolate against threats:
EDR solutions go beyond just detecting threats—they also take action. When an endpoint agent identifies a threat, a robust EDR solution immediately responds through the central monitoring system. This system analyses and traces the threat's origin and its path to the endpoint, providing valuable insights into the attack lifecycle.
For instance, Meta Eagle Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) enables you to visualise the attack timeline, empowering you to understand and mitigate future threats effectively. This not only enhances security but also demonstrates the tangible value of our security services to customers.
While antivirus and disk encryption are essential, EDR offers advanced capabilities to safeguard endpoints. These include real-time file analysis, detailed forensics, offline protection, network disconnection to prevent further spread, and the crucial feature of infected file rollback.
Considering the rising threat of ransomware, Meta Eagle EDR offers ransomware rollback functionality. In the event of a ransomware attack, this feature allows you to restore endpoint disk images to previous, uninfected states, helping mitigate downtime and potential data loss.
Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly common and costly:
- Businesses experienced an average of 16.2 days of downtime due to ransomware at the end of 2023.
- Predictions suggest that by 2026, a business will be hit by a ransomware attack every 11 seconds, with estimated damages reaching $20 billion USD
Meta Eagle EDR's ransomware rollback feature provides invaluable protection, offering peace of mind to both you and your clients.
Meta Eagle EDR and RMM
Meta Eagle EDR utilises AI and machine learning to detect and respond to endpoint threats efficiently. It identifies suspicious behaviors and enforces pre-defined policies, including automatic endpoint rollback to a safe state post-attack. Integrated with Meta RMM, it streamlines monitoring and management, allowing for easy setup and centralised control over endpoint security and other layers such as patch management, web protection, backup, and disk encryption.
Active EDR
(Endpoint Detection and Response)
We utilise 'ActiveEDR', a groundbreaking technology that redefines traditional EDR solutions. By comprehensively tracking and contextualizing device activities, ActiveEDR detects malicious behavior in real-time, automates response actions, and simplifies threat hunting with single IOC searches. For businesses, this means enhanced protection against cyber threats without the need for extensive resources or expertise. ActiveEDR streamlines security operations, providing peace of mind and allowing businesses to focus on growth and innovation.
