Managed Detection & Response (MDR) & Endpoint Protection
Modern cyberattacks do not stop at the firewall. They target laptops, desktops, servers, cloud workloads, credentials, and remote employees.
Our Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service combines next-generation antivirus (NGAV), Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), and 24/7 security operations to help prevent attacks, identify suspicious behavior, investigate threats, and respond before they become serious security incidents.
MDR gives organizations continuous security monitoring and response capabilities without requiring them to build an internal
security operations center.
Endpoint protection and MDR are part of our broader network security services for businesses.
What Are Endpoint Protection, EDR, and MDR?
Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV)
- Ransomware
- Malware and fileless malware
- Credential theft
- Exploitation and persistence techniques
- Phishing-launched payloads
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
- Threat hunting and investigation
- Attack timeline reconstruction and root-cause analysis
- Threat containment and remediation
- Detailed endpoint telemetry for faster incident response
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Endpoint Detection & Response continuously collects and analyzes activity on protected endpoints. That visibility supports:
- Threat hunting and investigation
- Attack timeline reconstruction and root-cause analysis
- Threat containment and remediation
- Detailed endpoint telemetry for faster incident response
Our Endpoint Protection & MDR Capabilities
24/7 Threat Monitoring
& Alert Triage
- 24/7/365 SOC monitoring for endpoint threats
- Continuous visibility across laptops, desktops, and servers
- Alert review, validation, and false-positive reduction
- Detection tuning to reduce unnecessary alert volume
- Escalation to designated IT or security contacts
Ransomware Protection & Rapid Containment
- Behavioral detection of encryption activity and ransomware precursors
- Automatic or analyst-initiated isolation of affected endpoints
- Termination of malicious processes and quarantine of associated files
- Coordination with backup and recovery planning to support restoration
- Access restrictions for non-compliant devices through Zero Trust and MFA controls
Managed EDR
(Detection + Response)
- EDR configuration, tuning, and ongoing detection optimization
- Rapid investigation using endpoint process, network, and user activity
- Containment actions to stop active threats, including:
- Isolating a compromised device from the network
- Terminating malicious processes
- Quarantining suspicious files
- Blocking malicious indicators of compromise (IOCs)
- Remediation guidance for your IT team, or hands-on response where agreed
- Root-cause investigation to prevent repeat incidents
Threat Hunting
- Proactive searches for stealthy or abnormal behavior
- Tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) analysis aligned with MITRE ATT&CK
- Searches for indicators of compromise (IOCs) and suspicious behavior patterns
- Hypothesis-driven analysis to uncover hidden persistence and attacker activity
- Findings summaries with prioritized follow-up actions
- Risk-based prioritization using asset criticality and exposure
- Focus on known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs) and high-impact misconfigurations
- Correlation between endpoint detections, vulnerable software, and likely attack paths
- Practical remediation guidance based on observed risk, through our vulnerability assessment services
- Incident summaries written for both technical teams and leadership
- Evidence-friendly documentation for audits and governance
- Timelines of investigation and response activity, with actions taken and outcomes
- Security metrics and trends (detections, response times, recurring issues)
EDR and MDR FAQs
What’s the difference between EDR and MDR?
EDR is the endpoint technology that detects and helps respond to threats. MDR is a managed service that operates EDR (and often other signals) with 24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response.
Is MDR worth it for a small business?
Yes—many small and mid-sized businesses use MDR services to get around-the-clock protection and faster response without hiring a full internal SOC.
Does MDR stop ransomware?
MDR significantly improves ransomware defense by detecting suspicious behaviors early and enabling rapid containment (isolating devices, stopping processes, blocking malicious activity). No service can guarantee “never,” but MDR materially reduces risk and dwell time.
Do you provide 24/7 SOC monitoring?
Yes. Our service is built around 24/7/365 threat monitoring and escalation, with defined response workflows.
Can you work with our existing endpoint security tool?
Often yes. We can assess your current endpoint stack and recommend the best path—either optimize what you have or migrate to a more effective EDR/NGAV approach.
