Security used to be easier. You installed antivirus (AV)
solutions, trained employees not to click on unknown links, and kept software and websites up-to-date.
AV solutions have done a great job of helping keep small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) safe for many years.
However, the threat patterns are changing, and SMBs need a different type of protection to combat these increasingly sophisticated, severe attacks. Here’s why: AV solutions rely on signatures (think of a digital fingerprint) to detect threats,
but many of the latest threats can’t be caught via signaturebased protection—making it easy to slip through and enter your company’s networks undetected.
How managed EDR benefits you
1. Protect your business from ransomware attacks
Gain peace of mind by using Managed EDR to rollback Microsoft® Windows® OS devices to their pre-threat state. Simply click and restore infected machines to a healthy version, no matter which strain of ransomware is holding them hostage. There’s no need to pay expensive ransoms to cyberattackers. Our Managed EDR service pays for itself by helping to keep you safe and secure.
2. Increase employee productivity
Eliminate threats that outwit traditional AV solutions while maintaining faster device performance, creating fewer distractions that eat into employee productivity.
3. Let the experts manage it for you
Don’t spend time trying to support and manage your own systems and security. Focus on running and growing your business, with ongoing support from your managed services provider.
Why is managed endpoint detection and response (EDR) the
best choice now for your IT security and business continuity?
| Managed Endpoint Detection and Response | Antivirus Solutions |
| Help prevent ransomware by rolling back devices to their pre-infection state | Can’t roll back to a pre-infection state, increasing your ransomware risks |
| Use artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and prevent both current and emerging threats | Use signatures to identify threats, meaning capabilities lag behind cyberattackers’ latest strategies |
| Monitor processes before, during, and after execution, to prevent new threats from executing | Fly blind during execution, creating an entry point for new threats from savvy attackers |
| Monitor your systems in real-time | Rely on daily or weekly scans, increasing your risks due to a time lag |
| Keep device performance fast with continual monitoring | Can slow down your device performance with long scans |
