Remote work expands attack surfaces; EDR tools like CrowdStrike Falcon and Microsoft Defender counter with behavioral analytics. ML models detect fileless malware and ransomware. USB control and application sandboxing limit exploits. Cloud-integrated EDR correlates endpoints with SIEM. Automated response via XDR quarantines threats. Zero Trust access integrates for device posture checks. This slashes MTTD/MTTR in distributed teams, vital post-pandemic.
