Use natural language to instantly query recorded incident data and retrieve results in seconds — no complex syntax, no digging through logs. ![Feature: 360-degree endpoint visibility dashboard](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/images/fea-graphic-1.svg) ### Stop threats on track - No threat hides for long. Deep memory scanning and intelligent triggers sweep across processes, files, registry, and network activity — catching fileless attacks, living-off-the-land techniques, and persistence-based threats. - Every threat tells a story. Endpoint Central maps behavioural signals, IoAs, and TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK — reconstructing the full attack chain instantly. ### From alert to insights — in seconds - Zia AI cuts through the noise by automatically triaging alerts, eliminating false positives, and surfacing the most critical threats first through risk-based prioritisation. - Go beyond detection. Pinpoint root cause, assess full impact, and drive rapid response with correlated endpoint data and contextual threat intelligence. ### Investigate smarter, Not harder - No steep learning curve, no guesswork. Zia AI guides analysts through every investigation — surfacing the right telemetry, flagging attack patterns, and recommending next actions so threats get resolved faster, every time. ![Feature: Accelerated investigation with endpoint monitoring stats](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/images/fea-graphic-2.svg) ### Containment. Neutralization. Resilience. - When a threat strikes, every second counts. Automatically isolate compromised endpoints, terminate malicious processes, and roll back infected systems to a clean pre-attack state before damage spreads. - Recover from ransomware or data exfiltration in a single click. Automated rollback and instant remediation keep operations running and downtime to an absolute minimum. ![Feature: Containment and threat neutralization interface](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/images/fea-graphic-3.svg) [All Features](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/endpoint-detection-and-response.html?edrlp_allfeatures) ## Key highlights - **Ranked #2** — Among the lightest-footprint enterprise EDR solutions - **>99%** — Ransomware detection accuracy powered by patented behavioural analytics - **< 0.01%** — Low false positives with automatic future alert correction ## Built for every security stakeholder ### IT & System Administrators ![IT and System Administrators workflow illustration](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/images/take-graphic-2.jpg) Secure endpoints without disrupting operations by detecting threats early and remediating them quickly while maintaining system performance and operational continuity. ### SOC Analysts ![SOC Analysts workflow illustration](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/images/take-graphic-1.jpg) Accelerate threat investigations with full attack-chain visibility, enabling faster triage, precise threat hunting, and rapid containment of security incidents. ### CISOs and Security Leaders ![CISOs and Security Leaders workflow illustration](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/images/take-graphic-3.jpg) Gain organization-wide visibility into endpoint threats and response effectiveness, enabling data-driven decisions that strengthen security posture and reduce enterprise risk. ## Our footprint in numbers and stories - **26M+** — Endpoints managed - **31K** — Enterprises - **20+** — Years in industry - **190+** — Countries ## Consolidate tools.
