Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a troubling new attack vector where threat actors are weaponizing free trials of endpoint detection and response (EDR) software to disable existing security tools — a phenomenon they’ve dubbed “EDR-on-EDR violence.” Security researchers Ezra Woods and Mike Manrod have documented a phenomenon where attackers use one security product to systematically disable…

What is EDR? An analytical approach to endpoint security
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) security tools monitor end-user hardware devices across a network for a range of suspicious activities and behavior, reacting automatically to block perceived threats and saving forensics data for further investigation. Endpoint here generally means any end-user device, from a laptop to a smartphone to IoT gadgets. An EDR platform combines…
