What does EDR stand for?

Endpoint Detection and Response

Enterprise Data Recovery

Electronic Document Routing

Event Driven Reporting

Which of the following is not a common feature of an EDR solution?

Real-time monitoring

Threat intelligence integration

Incident response automation

Network traffic analysis

What is the primary purpose of EDR security?

To detect and respond to advanced threats targeting endpoints

To prevent malware infections on endpoints

To secure network infrastructure

To monitor user activity on endpoints

Which type of endpoint is typically protected by EDR solutions?

Desktops and laptops

Servers

Mobile devices

All of the above

How does EDR differ from traditional antivirus software?

EDR provides more detailed threat information and incident response capabilities

Antivirus software is faster at detecting and blocking known threats

EDR only works on specific types of endpoints

Antivirus software is more affordable than EDR.

What is the first step in responding to a potential security incident detected by EDR?

Isolate the affected endpoint(s)

Notify senior management

Collect evidence

Shut down the entire network

Which of the following is not a common method used by attackers to bypass EDR defenses?

Fileless attacks

Social engineering

Malware obfuscation

Zero-day exploits

What is the role of machine learning in EDR security?

To identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate a security threat

To automate incident response actions

To scan endpoints for known malware signatures

To monitor network traffic for suspicious activity

What is the difference between EDR and NDR (Network Detection and Response)?

EDR focuses on endpoint security while NDR focuses on network security

EDR is more affordable than NDR

NDR provides better threat intelligence integration

There is no significant difference between the two.

Which of the following is not a common benefit of using an EDR solution?

Reduced incident response time

Improved visibility into endpoint activity

Increased compliance with industry regulations

Lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional antivirus software.

What is the purpose of a threat hunting team in an organization's security strategy?

To proactively search for potential threats that may have evaded detection by EDR solutions

To respond to security incidents detected by EDR solutions

To manage and maintain EDR solutions

To train employees on cybersecurity best practices.

How does EDR help organizations comply with data privacy regulations such as GDPR?

By providing detailed logs of endpoint activity

By encrypting all data stored on endpoints

By blocking access to unauthorized users

By monitoring network traffic for suspicious activity.

What is the role of threat intelligence in EDR security?

To provide context and insights into potential threats targeting endpoints

To automate incident response actions

To scan endpoints for known malware signatures

To monitor network traffic for suspicious activity.

Which of the following is not a common challenge faced by organizations implementing EDR solutions?

Lack of skilled personnel to manage and operate EDR solutions

High false positive rates

Integration issues with existing security tools

Limited visibility into endpoint activity.

What is the difference between EDR and SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)?

EDR focuses on endpoint security while SIEM focuses on network security

EDR provides better threat intelligence integration than SIEM

SIEM is more affordable than EDR

There is no significant difference between the two.

How does EDR help organizations detect insider threats?

By monitoring user activity on endpoints

By blocking access to unauthorized users

By encrypting all data stored on endpoints

By monitoring network traffic for suspicious activity.

Which of the following is not a common component of an EDR solution?

Firewall

Endpoint agent

Threat intelligence feed

Incident response playbook.

What is the purpose of incident response playbooks in EDR security?

To provide step-by-step instructions for responding to specific types of security incidents

To automate incident response actions

To scan endpoints for known malware signatures

To monitor network traffic for suspicious activity.

How does EDR help organizations improve their vulnerability management process?

By providing detailed information about vulnerabilities detected on endpoints

By automatically patching vulnerabilities on endpoints

By scanning network infrastructure for vulnerabilities

By training employees on cybersecurity best practices.

Which of the following is not a common type of attack that can be detected by EDR solutions?

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks

Ransomware attacks

Advanced persistent threats (APTs)

Fileless attacks.
