Intelligence against threats is a key factor for Telefónica, for which Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is used. This monitoring system tries to protect the systems before the threat reaches the endpoint or, well, against another newcomer to the endpoint without it being in progress. It also detects suspicious activity based on threat models and machine learning techniques. In addition, EDR has response capabilities consisting of isolating the compromised endpoint from the rest of the network to prevent the threat from spreading, capturing forensic packets remotely for analysis and stopping malicious processes within the endpoint.

Another of the needs covered by this system is to shield audiovsual content, entry and end points of materials and historical archives now converted into digital assets. That is, the transformation of the conventional to a sequence of ones and zeros on an IT installation of IP video. Inside the environments to be secured, we can find production systems and centers, transmission-broadcast and the aforementioned historical archives.
