Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Deploying CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender for Business

Why Traditional Signature-Based Antivirus Fails Today

Modern cyber attacks employ fileless malware, living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins), and memory injection techniques that do not leave malicious files on disk. Traditional antivirus programs relying on static signature databases cannot detect these sophisticated threats.

Top Enterprise EDR Platforms

  • Microsoft Defender for Business: Deeply integrated into Windows 11 Pro and Microsoft 365 Business Premium; cost-effective for Kenyan SMEs.
  • SentinelOne Singularity: Automated local AI rollback capability that instantly restores encrypted files in the event of ransomware execution.
  • CrowdStrike Falcon: Lightweight cloud-native kernel sensor backed by world-class threat hunting intelligence.
