What is the role of endpoint detection and response in preventing phishing?

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) plays a crucial role in preventing phishing attacks at the device level by providing real-time monitoring, detection, and response capabilities. EDR solutions are designed to detect suspicious behaviors and file activities on endpoints, such as computers and mobile devices, that could indicate a phishing attempt. By continuously monitoring device activities and analyzing behavior patterns, EDR can detect and block phishing emails, malicious attachments, or links before they compromise the device or network. Additionally, EDR solutions often include features like threat intelligence integration, behavior analysis, and sandboxing to enhance their ability to prevent phishing attacks and other cyber threats.
