This is a slide deck highlighting open source EDR software.

Notes
EDR can mean a lot of things. A lot of things claim to be EDR but are just ED.
Commercial offerings are often “black box”
SOAR
eXtended Detection and Response (XDR)
Vendors: Cynet, Cylance, FireEye, Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, Symantec, Cisco AMP Threat Grid, SentinelOne, McAfee, cybereason, Cortex XDR, …
MITRE Evaluations: Bitdefender, CrowdStrike, cybereason, cycraft, BlackBerry Cylance, elastic, F-Secure, FireEye, GoSecure, HanSight, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, McAfee, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, REAQTA, Secureworks, SentinelOne
Incident Response is a nightmare without EDR.
EDR allows you to get information from multiple sources quickly.
EDR allows you to correlate attack data with threat intelligence.
EDR logs are often easier to work with than standard logs such as syslog or Event Logs on Windows.
Commercial products are hard to test without involving sales, doing a trial, etc. NDAs, EULA prohibit reverse engineering, they are “blackbox”, … “Sure! Take my money without trying your product!”
Commercial products can be oppressively expensive.
