EDR and MDR

EDR and MDR: Two Solutions with the Same Goal but Different Approaches

Sophos ranked #1 overall in Firewall, MDR, and EDR solutions in the G2 Winter 2025 reports.

Once again, Sophos is the only vendor to be named a Leader across all G2 Overall Grid® reports for its solutions and services, including Endpoint Protection Suites, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Firewall Software, and Managed Detection and Response (MDR). Based on user feedback, Sophos ranked as the #1 solution in 36 individual reports covering the Antivirus, EDR, Endpoint Protection Suites, XDR, Firewall, and MDR markets.

Sophos MDR and Sophos EDR

Sophos MDR (Managed Detection and Response) and Sophos EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) are two cybersecurity solutions offered by Sophos. While both have a similar goal—protecting against threats—they differ in how they operate and the services they provide.

Sophos MDR (Managed Detection and Response)

The MDR service is a fully managed security solution. It includes teams of security experts who monitor, analyze, and respond to threats 24/7.

Key Features:

  • Real-time security monitoring by specialized teams.
  • Incident analysis and response.
  • Tailored protection and event management for each business.
  • Analysis and containment of malicious activity.
  • Focus on services with human support.

Advantages of MDR:

  • Managed by professionals: MDR is provided with 24/7 services from experts who monitor and respond to threats, reducing the need for internal resources.
  • Advanced detection capabilities: Uses technology for detecting advanced threats and behavioral analysis.
  • Real-time threat response: Offers faster response to threats with immediate action through external management.
  • Exclusive support: Sophos provides personal support and management for your environment.

This service is ideal for businesses that lack internal cybersecurity teams or those that want to enhance their existing security with external expert partners.

Sophos EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)

EDR is a technology that allows businesses to detect, investigate, and respond to threats on endpoints such as computers, servers, and mobile devices.

Key Features:

  • Threat detection on endpoints through advanced algorithms.
  • Root cause analysis capabilities (finding the source of the issue).
  • Automated threat response (e.g., isolating devices).
  • Provision of data for analysis by the company’s own security teams.
  • Focus on tools and technologies for threat management.

Advantages of EDR:

  • Autonomy: Allows companies to manage their threats internally, giving them more control and customization.
  • Focus on endpoints: Provides deep analysis of endpoints, analyzing data and system behavior to detect potential attacks.
  • Excellent monitoring and analysis: Offers tools to help detect, recognize, and analyze attacks at the network’s edge.
  • Flexibility: Allows you to customize security policies and detection processes according to the business’s needs.

This service is ideal for businesses with internal IT or security teams that want to analyze and respond to threats with greater autonomy.
