Phishing and malicious files
Employees may unknowingly open malicious emails, attachments or downloads that install malware.
Detect and stop endpoint threats before they spread.
Real-time detection, expert analysis and rapid response for laptops, desktops, servers and remote devices.
Key endpoint risks for UK businesses
Endpoints are a common entry point for cyber attackers. These risks can lead to data theft, ransomware and loss of business operations.
Stolen credentials
Attackers target endpoints to steal passwords and authentication tokens, gaining access to wider systems.
Unpatched and misconfigured devices
Outdated systems and inconsistent security controls create opportunities for exploitation.
Lateral movement
Once an endpoint is compromised, attackers can often move to other systems and gain broader access.
How our EDR service works
A layered, behaviour-driven approach to detect, contain and respond to endpoint threats.
- Continuous visibility across all endpoints
- Behavioural detection of known and unknown threats
- Rapid containment and evidence collection
- Detailed investigation and root cause analysis
- Integration with your wider security services

Our EDR delivery process
A structured approach from initial deployment to ongoing improvement.
Discover and deploy
Understand your environment and deploy EDR across relevant devices.
Detect and analyse
Monitor endpoint activity and identify suspicious behaviour.
Contain and respond
Take rapid action to isolate threats and prevent further damage.
Investigate and improve
Analyse the attack, identify root cause and recommend long-term improvements.

A complete, managed endpoint detection and response service tailored to your business.
EDR deployment and management
Installation, configuration and ongoing management across your endpoints.
Threat detection and alerting
Behaviour-based detection of suspicious and malicious activity.
Incident response and containment
Rapid isolation, process termination and evidence collection.
Investigation and reporting
Detailed analysis, clear reporting and practical recommendations.
What EDR can and cannot do
EDR greatly improves detection and response, but it's important to understand its limitations.
EDR capabilities
Detects suspicious and malicious behaviour. Helps stop ransomware and other advanced attacks early. Provides detailed visibility for investigation. Integrates with broader security controls.
Important limitations
EDR cannot guarantee prevention of all attacks. Coverage depends on deployed agents, supported devices and configuration. EDR works best alongside other controls such as patching, identity controls, backups and staff awareness. A web application firewall (WAF) does not replace the need to patch and secure endpoints.
Frequently asked questions
Is EDR the same as antivirus?
No. Antivirus focuses on known malware signatures, while EDR detects suspicious behaviour and attack techniques, including zero-day and fileless attacks.
Does EDR work against ransomware?
Yes. EDR can detect and stop ransomware behaviour early, significantly reducing damage and preventing it from spreading across your organisation.
Will EDR slow down our devices?
Modern EDR solutions are designed to minimise performance impact while maintaining deep visibility and protection.
