Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

Antivirus is not endpoint security. Most businesses are running antivirus and calling it done.

Traditional antivirus operates on a simple model: it compares files against a list of known threats and blocks the ones it recognizes. That model has two fundamental problems. First, it only catches what it already knows about. Second, modern attackers know exactly what antivirus looks for and write their tools specifically to avoid triggering it.

Endpoint Detection and Response is a different category of protection entirely. EDR doesn't just look for known threats — it monitors behavior. It watches what processes are running, what files they're touching, what network connections they're making, and flags activity that looks wrong even if the specific tool has never been seen before. When something suspicious happens, EDR doesn't just alert — it contains, isolates, and gives us the forensic detail to understand exactly what happened and where.

We deploy, configure, and manage EDR on every workstation in your environment so threats are caught at the device level, before they move laterally across your network and before they reach your data.

What's covered

• EDR agent deployment and configuration across all managed workstations — Windows and macOS
• Continuous behavioral monitoring with automated threat containment for high-confidence detections
• 24/7 alert monitoring and triage — we review what fires, not just what the platform flags
• Incident investigation with root cause analysis and documented findings
• Threat hunting for indicators of compromise that automated detection may miss
• Lateral movement detection and network isolation for compromised endpoints
• Monthly reporting on detections, investigations, and endpoint security posture
• Integration with your broader security program documentation for compliance reporting

Why this matters for your compliance program

FTC Safeguards, HIPAA, and virtually every cyber insurance policy issued in the last three years require documented endpoint security controls as part of your information security program. Antivirus alone no longer satisfies that requirement — insurers and regulators increasingly ask specifically whether you have EDR deployed and managed.

Beyond the compliance checkbox, EDR is often what determines whether a security incident becomes a contained event or a reportable breach. The difference between catching an intrusion at the endpoint and discovering it after data has already left your environment is the difference between a security event and a notification obligation.
