At a glance
Why businesses choose Field Effect MDR over EDR.
Field Effect MDR
EDR
Protection
- Field Effect MDR offers defense in depth across endpoint, networks, and cloud, delivering holistic and proactive protection.
- EDRs deliver reactive-only protection on the endpoint leaving critical risk unmanaged on the endpoint, while additionally leaving cloud and networks exposed to attack.
24/7 monitoring and threat hunting
-
Field Effect’s expert-led SOC monitors all security alerts across your environment, investigating suspicious signs of attack that might otherwise go unnoticed.
- Organizations must either purchase third-party management services or build an expensive SOC to monitor alerts 24/7 and investigate suspicious behavior or run the risk of threats going undetected.
Threat containment and disruption
-
Field Effect MDR stops threats early in the kill chain—blocking malware and ransomware, while neutralizing active attacks before they spread.
Flexible response policies let you tailor actions by organization or device, balancing risk tolerance with business continuity.
-
EDRs can automatically block known threats, such as those identified through signature-based detection.
However, organizations remain responsible for triaging all alerts, identifying sophisticated threats, and determining the best path for remediation.
Usability
-
Field Effect’s alerts, called AROs, are free from false positive and noise— providing clear insights and actionable step-by-steps remediation instructions, accessible to users of all technical backgrounds.
-
High volumes of complex alerts require extensive cybersecurity expertise to triage, prioritize, investigate, and act effectively.
Total cost of ownership
-
Field Effect MDR brings together essential security tools and services into a single, comprehensive solution—maximizing efficiency while delivering industry-leading protection and value with per-user pricing.
- To achieve a comprehensive defense, organizations will need to layer on additional tools and services, driving up cost and administrative difficulty, making cybersecurity expensive for all organizations other than enterprises.
