EDR catches what reaches the endpoint. Shield stops what never should have gotten there. Both layers together is the strongest posture.
EDR is essential. But by the time it activates, the threat has already reached your endpoint. It is already inside your perimeter, already touching your device, already executing code. EDR is your last line of defense. What if it did not have to work so hard?
Shield blocks malicious connections at the network level before they ever reach the endpoint. Your EDR still catches what slips through. But far less slips through.
EDR agents only protect devices they are installed on. But your network is full of devices that cannot run an agent: IoT sensors, OT controllers, printers, cameras, HVAC systems, guest devices. Shield blocks malicious traffic to every device on the network.
Shield blocks known-bad IPs before traffic reaches any endpoint. The connection never completes. The payload never delivers.
IoT devices, OT systems, legacy hardware, guest networks. Shield covers them all without installing a single agent.
Shield and EDR are complementary layers. Shield handles upstream prevention. EDR handles endpoint containment. Together, the attack surface shrinks dramatically.
When you block threats upstream, your EDR handles fewer incidents, your endpoints run faster, and your team has more time to focus on what actually matters.
See how Shield complements your EDR to create a true layered defense.
