Traditional Antivirus vs Endpoint Detection and Response: Which Is for You?

Cybercriminals continue to innovate their cyberthreat tactics. Protecting customers requires a good layered security strategy. Central to that strategy involves protecting your customers’ endpoints from threats.

However, the two operate differently and, because they compete for resources, you may need to choose one or the other on a given endpoint. This guide will help you decide how to strategically choose between AV and EDR tools.
