What is Endpoint Monitoring? Definitions, Benefits & Best Practices

Endpoints are a prime target for threat actors. In fact, 68% of the respondents to a Ponenmon study reported experiencing an endpoint attack that successfully compromised data or IT infrastructure. And, with IBM pegging the average cost of a data breach at $4.88 million USD, it’s clear that effective endpoint monitoring and security is a key objective for organizations of all sizes. As the stakes for endpoint security increase, so does the complexity.

What is Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Software?

Organizations are rapidly adopting endpoint detection and response software to address the challenge and strengthen their overall network infrastructure security. Why? In large part because endpoints are used by the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain (humans!) and therefore create business risk. Endpoint devices typically have internet access, can reach sensitive internal data, and are primarily used by people who aren’t cybersecurity professionals.

Use Datadog App Builder to peak, purge, or redrive AWS SQS.

This video aims to showcase how developers can self-serve from an application to simplify the management of their AWS cloud resources. Rather than switching between tools or reaching out to another team for help, developers can take action directly from their observability tool, enabling faster resolution of application issues. We will demonstrate how to build a simple app that allows them to minimize disruptions by quickly taking action on their SQS queues in AWS, using insights provided by Datadog.
