So, I turned to G2 data for Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) to identify tools built for deep behavioral detection. Here are the leaders: - [**Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud**](https://www.g2.com/products/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud/reviews) – Best for detecting fileless and zero-day threats with AI-driven analysis. - [**ThreatDown**](https://www.g2.com/products/threatdown/reviews) – Best for proactive detection of fileless malware and lateral movement attempts. - [**Huntress Managed EDR**](https://www.g2.com/products/huntress-managed-edr/reviews) – Best for managed behavioral analysis and root cause visibility. - [**Sophos Endpoint**](https://www.g2.com/products/sophos-endpoint/reviews) – Best for deep memory inspection and runtime anomaly detection. - [**ESET PROTECT**](https://www.g2.com/products/eset-protect/reviews) – Best for lightweight, heuristic-based malware defense. What's been your experience using these tools? Any other tools you recommend adding here? How are you defending against fileless malware today — EDR analytics, managed threat hunting, or script control?
