Real-Time Endpoint Security with Managed EDR Services

Cybersecurity has gotten more complex than ever, with many of the old standbys being rendered obsolete in comparison to the threats they are meant to prevent. Pairing that with the fact that many attacks are waged against small and medium-sized businesses, which often lack proper protections, makes the risk clear.

That said, you don’t have to accept these risks. Instead, you can implement tools like endpoint detection and response.

Understanding EDR

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is the tool that allows us to keep an eye on your employees’ workstations and mobile devices. We perform this continuous monitoring to detect and deal with ransomware, malware, and other malicious cyberthreats.

There is one key difference that EDR has from the traditional antivirus: instead of cleaning up a mess based on a preconfigured list of threats, EDR monitors unusual behaviors to identify threats before they take root.

Maintaining Endpoint Security is an Attainable Goal

If you want to avoid security issues, you need not only the right software but also disciplined adherence to certain behaviors across your organization. For instance:

• Access controls - All workstations need administrative privilege limits that prevent unauthorized software from being installed or used.
• Regular updates - Updates and patches to protect your operating systems and applications must be tested and implemented within a few days of release.
• Security training - Your team needs to know how to identify and report suspected phishing attempts, just in case an attack slips past your EDR systems.
