Rule-Based Detection
Rule-Based Detection in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) software refers to a security feature that identifies potential threats and malicious activities based on predefined rules and policies set by security experts. These rules are designed to recognize known attack patterns, suspicious behaviors, or specific indicators of compromise (IOCs) within endpoint systems. When a rule is triggered, the EDR software generates alerts for further investigation or initiates automated responses. Rule-based detection enhances the accuracy of threat identification, reduces false positives, and ensures consistent monitoring of endpoints. It provides organizations with a structured and reliable method to detect known cyber threats and enforce security policies effectively.
