Automated Threat Response

Cyber threats can strike at any time, and a delayed response can lead to significant disruptions, data loss, or security breaches. OpenEDR’s Automated Threat Response feature is designed to act immediately, minimizing downtime and reducing the burden on IT teams. The moment malicious activity is detected, OpenEDR automatically isolates the affected endpoint from the network. This prevents the threat from spreading and ensures that other systems remain secure while the issue is addressed. Leveraging advanced threat intelligence, OpenEDR blocks known and unknown threats, including ransomware, malware, and zero-day exploits, before they can cause harm. Automated responses ensure rapid containment, even during off-hours or when IT teams are stretched thin.

Lightweight Deployment

Protect your endpoints without impacting performance. OpenEDR’s lightweight architecture ensures rapid deployment and seamless operation, even in resource-constrained environments.

Seamless Integrations

Connect OpenEDR with your existing security tools, such as SIEM or SOAR platforms, for a unified and efficient cybersecurity ecosystem.
