ENDPOINT PROTECTION
What Is Endpoint Detection & Response?
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) is an advanced cybersecurity solution that continuously monitors endpoints such as laptops, desktops and servers for suspicious activity and potential threats.
Unlike traditional antivirus, which mainly focuses on blocking known malicious files, EDR provides deeper visibility into endpoint behaviour so suspicious activity can be detected, investigated and responded to more quickly.
This helps protect businesses against modern threats such as ransomware, malicious processes, credential abuse and attackers attempting to establish persistence inside an environment.
EDR isn't only about blocking malware — it's about detecting suspicious behaviour before it becomes a larger incident.

MODERN THREATS REQUIRE MODERN DEFENCES
Traditional Antivirus Isn't Enough
Cyberattacks have evolved. Modern attackers don't always rely on obvious malicious files that traditional antivirus can easily identify. They may abuse legitimate tools, compromised credentials, scripts and trusted applications to operate inside an environment.
EDR adds deeper visibility and response capabilities, helping identify suspicious endpoint behaviour and take action when preventative security alone isn't enough.
01
Threats Evolve
Attackers continuously adapt their techniques to bypass traditional security controls and avoid detection.
ADAPTIVE ATTACK TECHNIQUES
02
Attacks Move Quickly
Once an endpoint is compromised, an attacker may attempt to access additional systems, accounts and sensitive business data.
RAPID THREAT MOVEMENT
03
Visibility Matters
Continuous endpoint visibility helps uncover suspicious behaviour that traditional preventative security controls may otherwise miss.
DEEPER ENDPOINT VISIBILITY
Prevention is important. Detection and response provide the next layer.

SECURITY THAT GROWS WITH YOU
HOW EDR WORKS
From Detection to Response in Five Steps
EDR continuously monitors endpoint activity to help identify suspicious behaviour, investigate potential threats and take action before an incident can spread further.
01
Monitor
Endpoint activity is continuously monitored for signs of unusual or potentially malicious behaviour.
02
Detect
Suspicious behaviour and potential threats are identified using endpoint activity and security telemetry.
03
Investigate
Security events are analysed and contextualised to determine what happened, what is affected and how serious the threat may be.
04
Isolate
Compromised endpoints can be contained to help prevent malicious activity from spreading to other systems.
05
InvestigatRespond
Response actions help contain and remediate the threat while reducing the potential impact on your business.
CONTINUOUS VISIBILITY → FASTER DETECTION → RAPID CONTAINMENT
THREATS EDR HELPS IDENTIFY
See Suspicious Behaviour Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem
EDR looks beyond simple file-based malware detection. By monitoring endpoint activity and behaviour, it can help identify suspicious actions that may indicate an active or developing attack.
This deeper visibility is especially important when attackers use legitimate tools, stolen credentials or techniques designed to avoid traditional antivirus detection.
Ransomware Activity
Detect suspicious encryption behaviour, malicious processes and other endpoint activity that may indicate a ransomware attack.
RANSOMWARE DETECTION
Malicious Processes
Identify unusual or potentially malicious processes attempting to execute, modify systems or interact with sensitive resources.
BEHAVIOURAL DETECTION
Credential Abuse
Help identify suspicious activity involving compromised credentials, unusual account behaviour or attempts to misuse legitimate access.
ACCOUNT ACTIVITY
Persistence Techniques
Detect activity that may indicate an attacker is attempting to maintain access after the initial compromise.
PERSISTENT ACCESS
Suspicious Scripts & Tools
Identify unusual use of scripts, command-line tools and legitimate system utilities that may be abused during an attack.
TOOL ABUSE
Lateral Movement
Detect activity that may indicate an attacker is attempting to move from one endpoint to other systems or resources.
THREAT MOVEMENT
Threats don't always look malicious at first. EDR helps provide the visibility needed to recognise when normal endpoint activity starts behaving abnormally.
EDR VS TRADITIONAL ANTIVIRUS
Prevention Is Only Part of the Picture
Traditional antivirus remains an important layer of endpoint security, but modern cyberattacks require greater visibility. EDR extends endpoint protection with continuous monitoring, behavioural detection, investigation and response capabilities.
FOUNDATIONAL PROTECTION
Traditional Antivirus
Designed primarily to identify and prevent known malware and malicious files from compromising an endpoint.
- Known malware detection
- Malicious file scanning
- Signature-based protection
- Preventative endpoint security
A valuable first layer of endpoint protection.
ADVANCED
ADVANCED ENDPOINT SECURITY
Endpoint Detection & Response
Adds continuous endpoint visibility, behavioural detection, investigation and response capabilities to help identify and contain more advanced threats.
- Continuous endpoint monitoring
- Behaviour-based threat detection
- Security event investigation
- Endpoint isolation & containment
- Suspicious activity visibility
- Threat response capabilities
Detection and response beyond basic prevention.
Traditional antivirus focuses heavily on prevention. EDR adds the visibility, detection and response capabilities needed to investigate what happens when suspicious activity gets through.
They aren't necessarily competitors — EDR strengthens your overall endpoint security strategy.
WHY MANAGED EDR?
Advanced Security Without Building Your Own Security Team
EDR technology can provide powerful visibility into endpoint activity, but detecting a threat is only part of the challenge. Businesses also need the time, expertise and processes required to understand security events and respond appropriately.
Managed EDR helps reduce that burden by combining advanced endpoint protection with ongoing monitoring and security support, giving your business stronger protection without having to build and maintain a dedicated security operation internally.
Your team runs the business. Your endpoint security shouldn't become another full-time job.

EDR FAQ
Endpoint Detection & Response — Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about EDR? Here are some of the most common things businesses want to know about endpoint detection, monitoring and response.
What is Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)?
EDR is an endpoint security technology that continuously monitors devices such as laptops, desktops and servers for suspicious activity. It provides deeper visibility than traditional file-based malware protection and helps support investigation, containment and response when threats are detected.
Is EDR the same as antivirus?
No. Traditional antivirus mainly focuses on preventing known malware and malicious files. EDR adds continuous monitoring, behavioural visibility, investigation and response capabilities. The two can work together as part of a layered endpoint security strategy.
What devices can EDR protect?
EDR can typically protect business endpoints such as workstations, laptops and servers, depending on the supported operating systems and security platform being deployed.
Can EDR help protect against ransomware?
EDR can help identify suspicious activity associated with ransomware, including unusual processes, behavioural changes and rapid file-encryption activity. It should be used alongside other security layers such as identity protection, backups, email security and user awareness.
What happens when a threat is detected?
Depending on the EDR platform and service configuration, suspicious activity can be investigated and response actions may include stopping malicious processes, isolating an affected endpoint or taking other containment measures.
Does my business need EDR if we already have antivirus?
Many businesses benefit from the additional visibility and response capabilities EDR provides. Antivirus remains useful for prevention, while EDR helps address suspicious behaviour and more advanced threats that require deeper investigation.
