At Lookout, we’re no stranger to all the app risks, phishing attempts, and vulnerabilities that make mobile devices such appealing targets. Over the years, our researchers have identified 1500 threat families and have exposed some of the most sophisticated threats ever found, including Pegaussu, Dark Caracal, and — most recently — CryptoChameleon.

With EDR, like other security tool types, effective performance always comes at a cost. Even if you use an EDR tool that is open source or free, your organisation will still need to invest time to configure, maintain and operate it on an ongoing basis. Sometimes, as we explain in this blog, these costs can dwarf the initial spend in getting an EDR licence in the first place. But, paying high EDR costs is not the only way to get EDR capabilities.

Endpoints are critical to the success of cyber attacks. While the definition what an endpoint is, exactly, has shifted over time, the threat has remained the same: Threat actors need a device to spread malware, encrypt assets, and harvest application credentials — they need an endpoint.

Today’s adversaries are moving faster than ever. With the quickest attacks happening in just 7 minutes, adversaries are compromising endpoints and moving laterally before security teams can respond.1 It’s critical for organizations to have the technology to stay ahead of them.

Over the last few years, the evolution of cybersecurity strategies has seen a significant shift toward a more layered, nuanced, and, in many cases, advanced approach. Among these advancements, Network Detection and Response (NDR) has emerged as a critical component that continues to become more widely recognized and accepted across the industry for its efficacy in bolstering cybersecurity defenses.
