Endpoint Detection and Response
Updated June 20, 2026 · Reviewed by Shorim Haniffanshoib, Head of Editorial — IT Strategy & Enterprise
A next-generation endpoint security platform that not only detects threats (like traditional antivirus) but also responds, investigates, and remediates — either automatically or assisted by a SOC team. EDR continuously records and analyzes endpoint activity in real time: running processes, network connections, files created/modified, and registry changes. EDR tools most frequently appearing as requirements in Indonesian enterprise RFPs: CrowdStrike Falcon (cloud-native SaaS, most popular in MNCs), Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (bundled in Microsoft 365 E3/E5, most cost-efficient if already on M365), and SentinelOne (strong autonomous response). For corporate laptop rentals serving clients with a SOC team, the vendor must be able to pre-install the EDR agent to client specs and ensure the agent is enrolled into the client's tenant — not the vendor's tenant.
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) frequently appears in B2B IT procurement contexts: A next-generation endpoint security platform that not only detects threats (like traditional antivirus) but also.
