Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) Software

Infronest EDR puts a lightweight sensor on every endpoint and turns its raw process, file, and network activity into real-time detections you can act on. When something looks wrong, you open the full timeline and contain the threat — isolate the host or kill the process — without leaving the console. It lives inside the unified Infronest platform, next to SIEM correlation, patch management, and device management rather than in a separate tool with its own login.

EDR is a standalone, separately-sellable module, billed per endpoint and enabled per tenant by the platform Owner.

Why teams run EDR with Infronest
  • A sensor on every endpoint. A lightweight EDR sensor runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, streaming process, file, and network activity to the console in real time.
  • Behavioral and rule detections. Detections fire on suspicious behavior and known-bad patterns — not signatures alone — so novel and living-off-the-land attacks still get caught.
  • Contain in one click. Isolate a compromised host from the network or kill a malicious process straight from the console, without touching the machine physically.
  • Hunt across the timeline. Every detection opens a process, file, and network timeline so you can trace root cause and scope the blast radius.
  • Tenant-isolated and audited. Sensors, detections, and containment actions are scoped per organization, and every action is written to an audit trail.

Why Endpoints Need Detection and Response, Not Just Antivirus

Signature-based antivirus stops yesterday’s malware, but modern attacks live off legitimate tools, run in memory, and move laterally before anyone notices. Without a sensor recording what each endpoint actually does, an intrusion is invisible until data is already leaving — and by then the response is forensic, not preventive. Security teams need continuous visibility into process, file, and network behavior, detections that reason about intent, and the ability to contain a host the moment something is confirmed.

  • Antivirus misses fileless and living-off-the-land attacks that never drop a known-bad file.
  • Without recorded endpoint activity, investigations start blind and root cause is guesswork.
  • A compromised laptop keeps talking to the network while responders scramble for access.
  • Mixed Windows, macOS, and Linux fleets leave gaps when each needs a different tool.

What the EDR Module Does

EDR in Infronest spans continuous sensing, detection, investigation, and one-click containment, each scoped to your tenant.

Lightweight cross-platform sensor. One sensor for Windows, macOS, and Linux streams process launches, file writes, and network connections with minimal overhead.
Behavioral and rule-based detection. Detections combine behavioral heuristics with a rule engine, classifying each alert by severity so real threats surface first.
One-click containment. Isolate a host from the network or terminate a process from the console; the sensor enforces it and the action is fully audited.
Detection timeline and hunting. Each alert opens an investigable timeline of related process, file, and network events for root-cause and scope analysis.
Fleet and sensor management. Self-enrolling installers per OS, per-device tokens, online / offline tracking, and retire-with-revocation keep the sensor fleet clean.
Works with SIEM and MDM. EDR detections feed the SIEM correlation engine, and sit beside MDM and VAPT in one workspace.

How Detection and Containment Work End to End

The sensor is outbound-only — it streams telemetry to the server and picks up containment orders on its next check-in, so nothing connects inward to your endpoints. Deploy the sensor, let it stream, and detections raise alerts you triage; when a threat is confirmed, contain it from the console and follow the timeline to closure.

Deploy. Install the OS sensor or mint a token; it registers as a system service and begins streaming.
Stream. Process, file, and network events flow to the console continuously with low overhead.
Detect. Behavioral and rule detections raise severity-ranked alerts as suspicious activity appears.
Investigate. Open the detection timeline to trace the chain of events and scope the impact.
Contain. Isolate the host or kill the process from the console; every action is queued to the sensor and audited.

Frequently Asked Questions

The EDR sensor runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It streams process, file, and network telemetry using each platform’s native facilities and reports to a single tenant-isolated console.
Antivirus blocks known-bad files by signature. EDR continuously records endpoint behavior and detects threats by intent — including fileless and living-off-the-land attacks — then lets you investigate the timeline and contain the host.
Yes. From the console you can isolate a compromised host from the network or terminate a malicious process. The sensor enforces the action on its next check-in and the change is written to the audit trail.
No. EDR is standalone with its own sensor and enrollment. It integrates with SIEM (detections feed correlation) and MDM when those modules are enabled, but a tenant can run EDR on its own.
EDR is a separately-sellable module billed per endpoint and enabled per tenant by the platform Owner, so you pay only for the endpoints you actually protect.
