General Information

This article defines the support lifecycle for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents used at Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU). It identifies which EDR agent versions are:

  • Supported by the vendor
  • Supported by Information Technology Services (ITS)
  • No longer supported

Maintaining supported EDR agent versions is required to reduce security risk, maintain system stability, and support compliance with University policies and applicable regulatory requirements.

When available, ITS references vendor-published lifecycle documentation to align institutional support decisions with vendor recommendations.
