Operating a detection and response console demands that IT admins adopt an active role in responding to threats

Using an endpoint detection and response (EDR) tool like ESET Inspect is a significant step forward in advancing your security stance. If the expected output from the security products you have been using until now is merely to be informed that detections have been made, threats blocked, and malicious files deleted, then your security stance has been largely passive. This approach is not ideal, but understandable when an organization’s IT staff does not have the time or the advanced technical skills to take a more active role in their security.

However, investing in a detection and response solution indicates a healthy curiosity about what is happening behind the curtain. A detection and response product gives IT admins visibility into the events happening on a computer, such as scripts that have been run, commands executed, HTTP(S) requests, TCP/IP connections, DNS requests, registry modifications, file operations, process changes, and so on.
