Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Service for UK Businesses

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a security technology that continuously monitors the activity on your business devices — laptops, desktops, servers — and detects threats that traditional antivirus misses. Unlike antivirus, which matches files against a database of known malware signatures, EDR analyses behaviour in real time, catching novel ransomware variants, fileless malware, and living-off-the-land attacks that leave no signature to detect.

Key Features:

  • 1,200+ UK businesses protected
  • 24/7 monitoring and response
  • <1hr critical incident response

What's Included

Everything you get with our endpoint detection and response (EDR) service.

Full Endpoint Coverage

  • EDR agents deployed on all business endpoints — desktops, laptops, and servers — providing continuous behavioural monitoring.

Behavioural Detection

  • Goes beyond signature-based detection to identify suspicious behaviour patterns, fileless attacks, and living-off-the-land techniques.

Threat Investigation

  • When a detection fires, our analysts investigate the full attack chain — what happened, how it got in, and what was affected.

Automated Response

  • Pre-configured response actions isolate compromised endpoints, block malicious processes, and prevent lateral movement automatically.

Continuous Updates

  • Detection rules and threat intelligence are continuously updated to protect against emerging threats.

Visibility and Reporting

  • Full visibility into your endpoint security posture through dashboards and regular reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EDR in cybersecurity?

  • EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is a security technology that continuously monitors activity on business devices — laptops, desktops, servers — and detects threats through behavioural analysis rather than signature matching alone. It provides visibility into the full context of an attack, enabling security analysts to investigate and respond decisively.

Is EDR better than antivirus?

  • EDR provides significantly broader protection than traditional antivirus. It detects threats that antivirus misses — novel ransomware, fileless malware, living-off-the-land attacks — and provides the investigation context needed for effective incident response.

Does my business need EDR?

  • If your business handles sensitive data, processes customer personal information, or has cyber insurance requirements, EDR is the appropriate endpoint security standard.

What is the difference between EDR and MDR?

  • EDR is the technology platform. MDR (Managed Detection and Response) is the service built around it — adding human analyst coverage, threat intelligence, and active incident response.
