- Advanced targeted threats are designed with a defined purpose to infect and remain undetected in a network over a prolonged period
- Endpoint Protection has fundamental limitations as advanced threats easily circumvent traditional defenses by using varied tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs)
- [Bitdefender Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/enterprise-products/endpoint-detection-response.html) provides superior performance, security analytics and incident management capabilities to enjoy a privileged spot amongst competition
In response to the novel coronavirus COVID-19, organizations worldwide have come face-to-face with the "[new normal](https://businessresources.bitdefender.com/the-new-normal-state-of-cybersecurity?hsLang=en-us)", 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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0VpqyXxNZA&feature=youtu.be)
**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:
- Well-established groups of cyber criminals access and persist in the network for months/years to accomplish their objectives
- The adversaries escalate domain privileges and spread laterally in the network looking for richer targets inside the walls
- Threat groups utilize different tactics, infrastructure, code reuse and/or general target sets to fly under the radar and remain undetected by traditional defenses
Figure 1: Advanced Threats Kill Chain
**How lethal is this infection?**
According to [CSO Pandemic Impact Survey](https://www.csoonline.com/article/3535195/pandemic-impact-report-security-leaders-weigh-in.html), 26% have seen an increase in the volume, severity, and/or scope of cyber-attacks since mid-March*.* Prominent among them are [Ransomware](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/infozone/what-is-ransomware.html), [Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) compromise](https://businessinsights.bitdefender.com/researchers-find-rdp-abuse-exposes-new-fileless-type-tactic?hsLang=en-us) and [Credential Stuffing](https://businessinsights.bitdefender.com/media-is-the-most-targeted-industry-in-credential-stuffing-attacks?hsLang=en-us).
With data breaches becoming rampant throughout this extended pandemic season, living organizations—just like human bodies—need effective immunizations that provide:
- Advanced threat analysis to decode behavior patterns from a multitude of sources
- Security against advanced TTPs mapped out by MITRE ATT&CK matrix
- Focused investigation to provide a granular view of events which pose maximum risk
- Effective response to quickly contain the infection and strengthen cyber hygiene
Bitdefender EDR provides essential ammunition to keep any organization’s security posture robust.
**How does Bitdefender EDR secure my network?**
[Bitdefender EDR](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/enterprise-products/endpoint-detection-response.html) 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](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/infozone/what-is-edr.html)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](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/infozone/what-is-edr.html) 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](https://attack.mitre.org/).
***Alert Triage and Prioritization with One-Click Resolution***
[EDR](https://www.bitdefender.com/business/infozone/what-is-edr.html) 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](https://businessresources.bitdefender.com/endpoint-risk-analytics-endpoint-security-whitepaper?hsLang=en-us) (ERA) module provides comprehensive identification and remediation of many operating system misconfigurations, application vulnerabilities and human behavioral risks.
