Why Airlock Digital : Use Case

# + EDR: Powerful Defense in Depth

Proactive prevention meets advanced detection

In today’s dynamic threat landscape, organizations need a multi-layered security strategy to effectively protect their endpoints. Application Control and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) are two essential technologies that, when combined, create an unmatched Defense in Depth solution.

Prevention First

Application Control proactively stops threats at the execution layer, reducing the burden on EDR to detect and respond.

Reduced Alert Fatigue

By limiting what can execute, Application Control minimizes noise, allowing EDR to focus on high-value alerts.

Comprehensive Security

Together, these tools deliver a layered security approach, addressing prevention, detection, and response.

### Proactive Prevention with Application Control

- Enforces a [**Deny by Default**](https://www.airlockdigital.com/use-cases/zero-trust-endpoint-security) model, allowing only trusted applications, scripts, and processes to run.

- Blocks malware, ransomware, and zero-day threats before they can execute.

- Reduces the attack surface and limits entry points for malicious actors.

### Advanced Detection and Response with EDR

- Identifies suspicious behavior and malicious activity that may bypass traditional defenses

- Enables in-depth forensic analysis of security incidents.

- Provides automated and manual response capabilities to mitigate active threats.

### A Unified Approach to Endpoint Security

- EDR complements this by providing real-time visibility and rapid response to evolving threats.
