Detection finds the threat.
Response contains it. Remediation removes it.

Once an incident is confirmed, Endpoint Central EDR gives analysts the actions needed to isolate affected endpoints, terminate malicious processes, remove malicious files, and recover from ransomware activity. Response does not end when the process stops. Remediation continues until the threat is removed, the endpoint is recovered, and it is safe to return to operation.

Find with EDR. Fix with UEM.

Investigate what happened, contain the affected endpoint, neutralize malicious activity, and complete remediation without breaking the response workflow. Endpoint Central brings the actions analysts need into the same incident context.

    Contain

    Isolate compromised endpoints before the attack moves laterally.

  4. 4

    Neutralize

    Terminate malicious processes and remove confirmed malicious files.

  5. 5

    Remediate

    Patch vulnerabilities, remove risky software, and harden configurations.

  6. 6

    Recover

    Restore affected files using protected backup copies.

  7. 7

    Validate

    Confirm that remediation is complete before returning the endpoint to normal operation.

Contain the threat. Remediate the endpoint

Isolate compromised endpoints, terminate malicious activity, remove confirmed malicious files, and interrupt ransomware before the attack can progress further.

Isolate compromised endpoints

Cut affected devices off from the wider network to restrict lateral movement and attacker communication while remediation is carried out.

Terminate malicious processes

Stop active processes associated with the incident before they can execute additional payloads, establish persistence, or continue encryption.

Remove malicious files

Eliminate confirmed malicious files from affected endpoints and prevent the same artifact from continuing to operate.

Recover ransomware-affected files

Interrupt malicious encryption, then restore the files it reached so the endpoint comes back with its data intact rather than merely contained.

Turn threat hunting findings into response.

When a hunt uncovers suspicious activity, turn the finding into an incident and move directly into investigation, containment, and remediation. Schedule validated hunting conditions to surface recurring behavior for analyst action.

Detect recurring attacker behavior

Turn validated hunting conditions into scheduled monitoring so similar suspicious activity is surfaced for investigation without repeating the hunt manually.

Respond and remediate

Go beyond cleanup. Fix what made the attack possible.

Containment stops what the attacker is doing now. UEM-powered remediation closes the endpoint weakness that allowed the attack to happen. Endpoint Central connects security investigation with the endpoint controls needed to complete the fix.

What the incident revealed
Immediate EDR response
Endpoint Central remediation
A specific CVE was exploited
Isolate the endpoint and stop malicious activity
Deploy the applicable CVE patch and enforce relevant Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rules across exposed endpoints
Vulnerable or unauthorized software enabled execution
Terminate associated processes
Update, uninstall, or restrict the application
An insecure configuration enabled persistence
Remove the malicious artifact
Deploy a hardened configuration
A removable device introduced the threat

EDR tells you how the attacker succeeded. UEM helps ensure the same path is not left open.

Remediate beyond the compromised endpoint.

An incident on one endpoint can expose the same weakness across many more. Use what the investigation revealed to find similarly exposed devices, apply the required remediation at scale, and verify that the exposure has been closed.

Identify devices affected by the same vulnerability, application, configuration, or endpoint condition.
Deploy patches, software updates, configurations, restrictions, or custom remediation scripts to the required endpoint groups.
Use application, device, and endpoint policies to restrict the path used by the attacker.
Monitor the progress of the endpoint fix and confirm that the required action has been applied.
Compromised
Same fix, applied to every exposed endpoint

Respond to the compromised endpoint. Remediate every endpoint exposed to the same attack path.

EPP prevents. EDR investigates. UEM remediates.

Endpoint Central unifies EPP protection, EDR threat hunting, and UEM remediation through a single lightweight agent. Instead of treating prevention, response, and endpoint operations as separate workflows, every layer contributes to one coordinated security outcome.

EPPLayer 1

Prevent

Prevent threats before execution.

Block known and unknown malware, ransomware, exploits, and malicious behavior.

EDRLayer 2

Detect & investigate

Detect and investigate threats that require deeper analysis.

Collect endpoint telemetry, correlate behavioral analytics and TTPs, hunt for suspicious activity, reconstruct attacks, and contain incidents.

UEMLayer 3

Remediate

Remediate the endpoint conditions behind the incident.

Patch specific CVEs, update or remove risky software, enforce ASR rules, harden configurations, and apply the fix across the fleet.

One lightweight agent

All three layers ship through a single endpoint agent and console.

Prevent with EPP. Find and contain with EDR. Fix and harden with UEM.

What is EDR response and endpoint remediation?

EDR response and endpoint remediation is the process of containing an active endpoint threat, eliminating the malicious files and processes involved, fixing the weakness that enabled the attack, and safely restoring the device to operation.

Containment limits immediate damage. Threat neutralization removes malicious activity. Endpoint remediation addresses vulnerabilities, risky software, insecure configurations, and other underlying conditions so the endpoint is not left exposed to the same attack path.

Stop the attack. Fix the weakness. Protect the fleet.

Move from EDR investigation to complete endpoint remediation without changing tools. Contain active threats, close the weakness behind the incident, and apply the fix wherever the same exposure exists.

Frequently asked questions.

Endpoint Central EDR can isolate compromised endpoints, terminate malicious processes, remove confirmed malicious files, contain ransomware activity, and restore affected files. Analysts can then use built-in UEM capabilities to patch vulnerabilities, remediate applications, harden configurations, restrict endpoint resources, and deploy custom remediation scripts.

Endpoint Central brings EDR investigation, threat containment, UEM remediation, and endpoint recovery into the same platform. This reduces the tool switching and security-to-IT handoffs that normally delay incident resolution.

Containment limits the immediate impact of an attack by isolating an endpoint or stopping malicious activity. Remediation removes the threat and fixes the endpoint condition that enabled it, such as an unpatched vulnerability, vulnerable application, or insecure configuration.

EDR identifies the attack, reconstructs its progression, and determines the root cause. Built-in UEM capabilities allow the same user to apply the required endpoint fix, including patch deployment, software removal, configuration changes, endpoint restrictions, and custom scripts.

No. The UEM capabilities required for endpoint remediation are available to Endpoint Central EDR users by default. Analysts can investigate the threat and perform the corresponding endpoint remediation without integrating or switching to a separate management product.

Yes. Analysts can raise an alert from a suspicious hunting result or schedule a query to detect the same activity when it recurs. The resulting alert creates an incident for further investigation, containment, and remediation.

Yes. Endpoint Central can isolate compromised endpoints to restrict network communication and prevent the threat from spreading while the device is investigated and remediated.

Endpoint Central can interrupt ransomware activity, isolate the affected endpoint, and restore affected files using tamper-proof backup copies. The endpoint can then be validated before normal connectivity is restored.

Yes. Built-in UEM capabilities allow administrators to deploy patches, update or remove software, apply configurations, enforce restrictions, and run remediation scripts across the required endpoint groups.
