Keypoints
- EDR has become standard for most organizations, with 97.7% adoption in Bitdefender research.
- Endpoint protection alone cannot stop modern attacks that use credential abuse and Living-off-the-Land techniques.
- Mid-market teams often lack the staff and resources to investigate alerts and run a 24×7 SOC.

- Combining prevention, detection, and response improves resilience, compliance readiness, and business trust.
