What is Cloud Detection and Response (CDR)?

Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) strategy secures cloud environments by monitoring and responding to threats. Designed to enhance understanding of cloud environments and detect threats, it fits into the broader category of threat detection and response tools. This combination with other detection response processes has led some to view CDR as features in other cloud tools. CDR assists in asking key questions regarding access, potential for privilege escalation and authorization, thus helping boost security management in cloud environments.
