EDR detections can be automatically remediated by [PUA protection](detect-block-potentially-unwanted-apps-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md) or by [automated investigation & remediation capabilities](automated-investigations.md) in block mode.

The primary purpose of EDR in block mode is to remediate post-breach detections that were missed by a non-Microsoft antivirus product. There is a scenario where EDR in block mode enablement might be beneficial, even when the primary antivirus solution is Microsoft Defender Antivirus. If Microsoft Defender Antivirus is misconfigured, such as if PUA protection is not enabled, EDR in block mode can automatically remediate PUA.
