In this Bitdefender-sponsored podcast, IBM Cloud and SaaS Operations Global CISO David Cass talks to Harish Agastya, VP of Enterprise Solutions at Bitdefender, about the challenges in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). They explore how EDR is one of the many layers of protection and how it works best when it relies on the intelligence of prior layers.
Harish emphasizes how the reduction of noise generated by these often-disparate solutions is crucial and how such solutions need to be available to all players in the market – not just to big organizations with deep pockets.
Enterprise networks grow more complex by the day.

In addition, business owners need to have applications provisioned quickly but have little consideration as to the security implications of their requests.
