CrashPlan's Mason Swenson on Why EDR Is Not Enough to Mitigate Risk
Mason Swenson, vice president of product management, CrashPlan

Endpoint detection and response is a great defense - but not entirely enough to protect all data in the event of a devastating cyberattack. Enter endpoint backups, which provide extra levels of resiliency, recovery and compliance, says Mason Swenson of CrashPlan.

In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, Swenson discusses:

  • How the endpoint threat landscape has evolved;
  • Why EDR is not enough to mitigate risks;
  • Key business benefits of endpoint backup.
  • Other use cases of endpoint backup that you may need, like legal hold and device migration

With 25 years of experience in industry-leading technology, Swenson has a unique ability to identify market and industry trends and forecast impacts on technology and security managers. Prior to CrashPlan, he worked with Code42 as a vice president of product management and with Imation as a regional sales manager and product manager.
