What is SentinelOne’s EDR Technology?

The newest antivirus protection, SentinelOne’s EDR technology (endpoint detection and response), is the updated approach to fighting viruses and malicious applications, including the elusive ransomware and crypto locker attacks.

Traditional protection is no longer the best defence in risk mitigation, as it is now considered outdated and not as effective. Advanced viruses

now expect and outsmart the classic antivirus, evolving with foreign attacks that are newfangled.

This is where EDR differs.

EDR technology’s modern approach is built to combine prevention, detection and response in one complete platform. An industry-first, this software has a cohesive view of all, allowing a real-time and autonomous security layer to be applied to all assets.

There is no comparison with its traditional competitors with its modern tactics, policy-driven response capabilities and bespoke approach to combating attacks. This makes the contemporary practice of EDR vital in securing your device.

Who can use SentinelOne’s EDR Technology?

It doesn’t matter if you have a large or small corporation, EDR Technology is available for both personal and corporate uses on all scales.

EDR can be used on Windows and macOS, making it compatible with PC or Mac. It is also available for all workstations and supported environments.

An email from a scammer
You’ve probably received a spam email where a hacker claims to have installed software on your PC… and used it to get your email password.

Usually, this is untrue & they’ve obtained your password from a website that’s been hacked recently. Since many people use the same password for many things, this may also be your email password.

If you have been using the same password for years, it can feel difficult to change it after so long a time, however it’s quite important to do so.

Scam Alert
One of the most recent forms of Spam emails, is to send “Please view this document” type emails from DropBox.

If you email the person that sent it to you, you get a reply (often in badly written English) that it’s safe to open.
The reply makes you suspicious, so you call them.
When you speak to them on the phone, they tell you that they didn’t send you any files… and they didn’t send you that reply email either.

In quite a lot of these cases, the person doesn’t have a DropBox account.
They might not have even heard of DropBox before.
