Insider Risk Management and Endpoint Detection and Response serve different purposes but together support a strong security strategy. EDR focuses on protecting endpoints such as laptops and mobile devices by monitoring system activity, detecting malware, and responding to external threats using real‑time analytics.

While EDR excels at identifying technical attacks, IRM adds critical behavioral context, helping organizations spot insider threats earlier, reduce data loss, and address risks that traditional endpoint tools often miss.
