Introduction
Visibility serves as the cornerstone for understanding and mitigating modern threats. The EDR Telemetry Project was established as a comprehensive effort to evaluate the depth and breadth of telemetry provided by Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions for Windows systems. Its purpose has been to illuminate the gaps that often go unnoticed, providing an objective measure of whether defenders can depend on these tools to identify, analyze, and respond confidently to adversarial activity.

As the project moved forward, we noticed an important area where we could improve: the need to put more emphasis on Linux systems. Linux is no longer a niche platform; it is the backbone of modern IT. From cloud environments to enterprise workloads and critical infrastructure, Linux powers much of what we depend on daily.
The decision to expand the project to include Linux was necessary. With attackers increasingly targeting Linux environments with sophisticated threats, defenders must have the tools to monitor and respond effectively. This article delves into why Linux telemetry matters…
