Modern Cyber Threats Require More Than Antivirus
Managing Director Ace IT
"Traditional antivirus is no longer enough to protect businesses against today's cyber threats. I've seen attackers bypass antivirus far too easily using stolen credentials, legitimate tools, and other techniques that traditional AV simply isn't designed to detect.
Once an attacker bypasses your initial defences, it's no longer just about prevention—it's about how quickly you can detect, contain, and stop the threat before it causes serious damage.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) builds on antivirus by continuously monitoring endpoints for suspicious behaviour and providing the visibility needed to detect and respond to attacks that traditional AV can miss.
Managed EDR also provides 24/7 monitoring by security specialists, ensuring threats are investigated and contained as soon as they are detected, not just during business hours.
For small businesses, EDR has become the minimum standard for endpoint security, combining prevention with the detection and rapid response needed to defend against modern cyber threats.
While EDR is the right choice for most small businesses, organisations with higher compliance requirements or more complex environments, such as manufacturers and legal firms, may wish to consider next-generation endpoint protection."
Your first line of defence, built into Windows. While Microsoft Defender provides antivirus protection, it isn't designed to detect and respond to today's more advanced cyber threats on its own.
Builds on antivirus with 24/7 monitoring by security specialists, behavioural threat detection and rapid response to attacks that traditional antivirus often misses.
Designed for organisations with higher security or compliance requirements, combining AI-powered prevention, ransomware protection and autonomous response for maximum endpoint protection.
EDR solutions gather and analyze data from endpoints in real time.
Behavioral analytics and AI identify potential threats.
EDR systems immediately neutralize threats by isolating infected endpoints.
Detailed information is logged to help teams investigate incidents and determine a course of action.
Because not everyone speaks IT.
Is like a doorman with a list of known burglars. If someone on the list turns up, they're stopped at the door before they can get inside and cause any trouble.
Is like a security team watching CCTV. If someone slips inside and starts acting suspiciously, they intervene before serious damage is done.
Is like carrying out passport and employee reference checks before someone enters whilst confirming they can be trusted the whole time they're inside the building.
Advanced endpoint security for modern businesses.
