# RedLegg EDR & Automation

**Endpoint threat protection:** deploy, tune and manage endpoint detection and response (EDR), including Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, so every device is protected and alerts are meaningful

**Automated threat response:** playbooks that act the moment a threat is confirmed, such as isolating an infected device, disabling a compromised account or blocking a malicious file

**Phishing response:** automatically analyze reported emails and remove malicious ones from every mailbox

**Attack surface reduction:** turn on and tune protections like attack surface reduction rules and tamper protection without disrupting users

### When you need it

* Not every device is **onboarded** to EDR, or protection is inconsistent
* EDR alerts are **noisy**, and real threats get lost
* Your team takes too long to **contain** a confirmed threat
* **Reported phishing emails** pile up faster than your team can review them

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://msdocs.aohwv.com/get-expert-help/redlegg-edr-and-automation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
