In response to the novel coronavirus COVID-19, organizations worldwide have come face-to-face with the "new normal", and it has been anything but normal. The current pandemic climate has cooked up the perfect amount of fear, uncertainty, doubt and chaos.
The New Normal State of Cybersecurity
Advanced Threats, never heard of them
Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and organizations with a poor security mindset and infrastructure are easy pickings for hackers. An advanced targeted attack is a methodology where:

How lethal is this infection?
According to CSO Pandemic Impact Survey, 26% have seen an increase in the volume, severity, and/or scope of cyber-attacks since mid-March. Prominent among them are Ransomware, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) compromise and Credential Stuffing.
With data breaches becoming rampant throughout this extended pandemic season, living organizations—just like human bodies—need effective immunizations that provide:
Bitdefender EDR provides essential ammunition to keep any organization’s security posture robust.
How does Bitdefender EDR secure my network?
Bitdefender EDR thwarts cyber criminals with increased vigilance and effective containment technologies. Real-time monitoring and behavioral analysis convert threat discovery into useful insights with guidance for actionable response by security teams.
It is a powerful platform where data is collected, analyzed and correlated against key attributes and presented in a format where both security practitioners and business leaders can take decisive actions.

Benefits of EDR
Traditional security products provide inadequate visibility on the TTPs used to launch advanced threats. They also lack provisions required for efficient containment. Bitdefender EDR secures customers by providing:
Seamless Integrations
EDR is the clear choice for actionable detection and response by security generalists. It is compliant with existing solutions and sits as a happy medium between Endpoint Protection and Security Information and Events Management (SIEM).
Adversary TTP visibility
EDR combines detective, investigative and compensative security controls. Equipped with specialized machine learning and event correlation models, it employs analytics and sandbox automation to detect suspicious indicators covered throughout the MITRE ATT&CK matrix.
Alert Triage and Prioritization with One-Click Resolution
EDR can help customers see beyond the typical alerts from their preventative tools. Automatic alert triage presents a clear story that enables analysts to easily read and understand incidents and take appropriate response actions.
Close the Cybersecurity Skills Gap
Graphical visualizations and easy-to-follow-built in workflows reduce the learning curve and maximize InfoSec’s ability to follow guided responses to efficiently stop and remediate ongoing attacks.
Manage and Reduce Organizational Risk
An integrated, centralized Endpoint Risk Analytics (ERA) module provides comprehensive identification and remediation of many operating system misconfigurations, application vulnerabilities and human behavioral risks.
