# EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)

A category of security tools that monitor endpoint devices for suspicious activity and provide automated response capabilities. In the TLCTC velocity model, EDR is a critical control for the **Fast Velocity Class** (minutes) where automated containment is necessary because human analyst response times are insufficient. EDR is particularly relevant for controlling `#3 Exploiting Client` and `#7 Malware` at the endpoint level.
