Endpoint Protection / EDR
Endpoint detection and response for visibility across every device – so threats are caught before they spread.
Who EDR is for
Endpoint protection and EDR for small businesses that need every laptop and workstation defended – without hiring a security analyst to watch the console. It is a common starting point for clinics protecting patient records and for any team that would not spot a ransomware attack in progress.
- Businesses relying on traditional antivirus as their only endpoint defense
- Teams with laptops used at home and on the road, not just in the office
- Companies with field employees or contractors on their own devices
- Businesses that would not notice a compromised workstation until it spread
- Firms asked by insurers or clients whether they run EDR
Why antivirus alone is not enough
Every device connected to your business is a potential entry point, and modern attacks are built to slip past signature-based tools. The difference between EDR and traditional antivirus matters most in exactly these cases:
Attacks that match no known signature
Traditional antivirus misses the behavioral patterns modern attacks use, so the first sign of trouble is often the damage itself.
A single infected endpoint spreading
Without the ability to isolate a device quickly, one compromised laptop can reach file shares, mail, and every other machine.
Devices drifting out of compliance
Unenrolled or outdated endpoints accumulate silently until an attacker finds the one machine nobody was watching.
Ransomware encrypting faster than you can react
Once encryption starts, every minute matters; without detection and rollback, recovery means rebuilding machines and losing data.
What managed EDR delivers
- Continuous behavioral monitoring across every enrolled device
- Threats detected and contained before they spread through the business
- A compromised device isolated from the network within minutes
- Many ransomware changes rolled back instead of machines rebuilt from scratch
- Visibility into enrollment, update status, and policy compliance for every endpoint
- The protection value of EDR without an in-house security analyst
What's included in managed EDR
- EDR platform selection appropriate to your size and risk profile
- Deployment and configuration across your devices
- Alert tuning so real threats stand out from noise
- Continuous monitoring and alert review
- Investigation of suspicious activity
- Incident escalation through a clear response process
- Device isolation to stop an active threat from spreading
- Endpoint inventory: enrollment, updates, and compliance tracking
- Access policies for contractor and employee-owned (BYOD) devices
- Post-incident write-ups with recommendations
Would you know if a laptop was compromised right now?
If the honest answer is no, EDR closes that gap. Tell us about your devices and we will scope the deployment.
How deployment works
Scoping and selection
We inventory your devices and choose an EDR platform that fits your size, risk profile, and budget.
Rollout and tuning
Agents are deployed, policies are configured, and alerts are tuned so genuine threats stand out from background noise.
Managed monitoring
We review alerts, investigate suspicious activity, and respond through a defined escalation process.
When a threat is detected
Attacks do not keep office hours, so EDR monitoring runs continuously. When a genuine threat is detected we can isolate the affected device from the network within minutes to stop it spreading, and modern endpoint platforms can roll back many of the changes ransomware makes – dramatically reducing downtime compared with rebuilding machines.
EDR signals are integrated with your Microsoft 365 security alerts and network monitoring, giving a broader picture of activity across the environment and faster, more accurate response. After any significant event you receive a clear write-up of what happened, what we did, and what we recommend changing.
What the service covers
- Windows endpoints
- macOS endpoints
- Laptops at home and on the road
- Servers
- BYOD and contractor device policies
- Integration with Microsoft 365 security alerts
- Integration with network monitoring
What this service is not
- Not traditional antivirus resold under a new name – EDR monitors behavior, not just signatures
- Not mobile device management by itself – phone and tablet policies are scoped separately where needed
- Not a standalone product license – the value is the managed deployment, tuning, monitoring, and response around the platform
Endpoint protection and EDR FAQs
What is the difference between EDR and antivirus?
Antivirus matches files against known malware signatures. EDR watches device behavior continuously, detects the patterns modern attacks use, and can contain a threat – for example by isolating the device – rather than only blocking known files.
Who actually watches the alerts?
We do. Deployment, tuning, alert review, investigation, and escalation are all part of the managed service, so you get the protection value of EDR without hiring a security analyst.
What happens when something is detected?
The alert is investigated, and if it is a genuine threat the device can be isolated from the network within minutes. You are informed through a clear escalation process, and significant events end with a written summary and recommendations.
Do home laptops and remote workers get the same protection?
Yes. EDR agents protect enrolled devices wherever they are, so your security posture is not limited to the machines inside the office.
Can EDR undo ransomware damage?
Modern endpoint platforms can roll back many of the changes ransomware makes on an affected device. That does not replace tested backups, but it dramatically reduces downtime and data loss compared with rebuilding from scratch.
