How AI is transforming EDR alert triage in 2026
How large language models are changing EDR alert triage in 2026: automated explanation, incident clustering, and natural language threat hunting for SOC teams.
Read post →Process tree analysis: how SOC teams trace an attack
Learn how SOC analysts use process trees to trace attacker activity from initial foothold to lateral movement, with real examples and detection tips.
Read post →AI-powered alert triage: how LightEDR integrates with your preferred LLM
Choose your own LLM: LightEDR's AI triage works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, Gemini, and Ollama to explain alerts and suggest triage steps.
Read post →Endpoint isolation: what happens when you click "contain"?
A step-by-step breakdown of what endpoint containment actually does at the network layer, the sequence of events, and when to use it - and when not to.
Read post →Our MITRE ATT&CK coverage: what we detect and what we don't
LightEDR maps its behavioural detections to MITRE ATT&CK honestly - here's what we cover well, where the gaps are, and why transparency matters for SOC teams.
Read post →What is alert fatigue and how does AI help SOC teams?
Alert fatigue is burning out SOC analysts - here's how AI-powered triage reduces noise, prioritises real threats, and keeps your team effective.
Read post →Zero Trust is not a product - it's an architecture
Zero Trust has become one of the most abused terms in security marketing. Here's what NIST SP 800-207 actually requires, and how to tell the real thing from a rebrand.
Read post →How to evaluate an EDR: 10 questions to ask every vendor
Choosing an EDR is harder than it should be. Here are 10 concrete questions that separate genuine capability from polished marketing decks.
Read post →Building a SOC on a budget: the case for transparent EDR
Running a SOC on a tight budget doesn't mean compromising on endpoint detection. Here's how transparent EDR pricing changes the maths for lean teams.
Read post →eBPF vs kernel modules: why it matters for Linux EDR
How a Linux EDR collects kernel telemetry - eBPF, kernel modules, or plain syscall interfaces - has real consequences for stability, portability, and attacker evasion.
Read post →5 things SOC teams hate about legacy EDR platforms
From alert overload to opaque pricing, legacy EDR creates more work than it prevents. Here's what SOC teams complain about - and what to look for instead.
Read post →What are Sigma rules and why should your SOC use them?
Sigma is the vendor-agnostic detection rule format every SOC team should know. This guide explains the syntax, why it matters, and how to start using it today.
Read post →How much does EDR cost in 2026?
EDR pricing is notoriously opaque. Here's what enterprise and mid-market endpoint detection platforms actually cost in 2026, and what drives the price.
Read post →EDR vs XDR vs MDR - what's the difference?
EDR, XDR, and MDR are often used interchangeably in vendor marketing. Here's what each actually means, how they differ, and how to choose the right approach for your team.
Read post →Why we publish our pricing (and why most EDR vendors don't)
Most enterprise EDR platforms hide pricing behind a sales call. Here's why LightEDR publishes every tier openly - and what that means for your budget planning.
Read post →MITRE ATT&CK for defenders: which techniques matter most
MITRE ATT&CK catalogues over 400 techniques. Here's how defenders should prioritise coverage - with real detection logic for the techniques that appear most in incident reports.
Read post →LightEDR vs CrowdStrike: an honest comparison
A frank look at how LightEDR stacks up against CrowdStrike Falcon for SOC teams that want real detection coverage without enterprise pricing.
Read post →What is Zero Trust architecture? (NIST SP 800-207 explained)
Zero Trust isn't a product you buy - it's an architecture. We break down NIST SP 800-207, the PDP/PEP model, and what it means for endpoint security.
