MANAGED ENDPOINT DETECTION & RESPONSE
Next-Gen endpoint Security & Response
A Managed EDR service can provide a level of visibility and security that can be difficult to maintain in-house, both in terms of availability and expertise. The EDGENETIC Managed EDR service can be utilised for organisations that have limited resources and expertise to assist with the provision, management and monitoring of EDR and EPP technologies to provide a world-class capability in detection and response.
EDGENETIC is an award-winning cybersecurity organisation with unparalleled capability in delivering managed security services. Through our managed global Security Operations Centres (SOCs) we can deliver round the clock services that secure our clients and detect and respond to sophisticated cyber-threats, providing assurance that your organisation is protected.
What Is Managed EDR/EPP?
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools provide an integrated endpoint security solution that provides real-time continuous monitoring and detection, combined with response and analysis capabilities.
Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) is an evolution of the next-generation anti-virus capabilities, providing prevention, detection, and monitoring for both file-based and file-less malware using static Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), signatures, and behavioural analytics.
Advanced endpoint protection solutions provide integrated EDR and EPP capabilities in a single deployable agent. Endpoints are a critical area for both monitoring and protection as the majority of attacks will land there and are where an attacker will look to get the execution of their tooling, achieve privilege escalation, and lateral movement. The importance of endpoint security monitoring was recognised by Gartner and forms the cornerstone of their security monitoring triad.
Benefits Of Managed EDR
Most attacks will first manifest themselves on an endpoint. Organisations must deploy both protection and detection capabilities across the endpoint estate to prevent attackers from gaining a foothold in the network, limiting their options for lateral movement and further exploitation. LRQA Nettitude offers two next-generation detection, response, and prevention solutions, enabling our clients to choose a solution that matches their needs.
- Better Protection – Complex threats require active and integrated tooling at the most likely point of malicious activity (the endpoint). It is no longer sufficient to just monitor activity, it must be blocked/prevented to prevent catastrophic attacks such as ransomware. EDR and EPP solutions use a combination of advanced analytics, and threat intelligence to block threats and provide a platform for responders to operate from.
- Reduced Complexity – The SOC-as-a-Service offering provides a single dashboard interface for managing the deployed agents. No on-premise infrastructure is required.
- Increased efficiency – The managed service increases security and provides a workaround to the problem of skills shortage by accelerating security operations, using automation, and reducing the time and effort to respond to incidents.
The EDGENETIC Managed EDR and EPP service significantly reduces the likelihood of an adversary completing their attack, leading to a data breach or other malicious action. It also reduces the time to detect and respond to an incident. These metrics (known as Mean Time to Detect or MTTD and Mean Time to Respond or MTTR) are key indicators of an effective detect and respond capability.
The specific objectives of the service will be customised to each client collated through the BI workshop and service reviews on an ongoing basis. This is because every client will face different threats and operate a unique set of critical assets.EDGENETIC understands this and therefore can customise the detection through a unique set of use cases.

About Crowdstrike
The Crowdstrike falcon platform is a Gartner leading technology, providing best of breed endpoint detection and response. It includes integrated threat intelligence and additional bolt-on modules including firewall management, USB device control, vulnerability management, and IT hygiene capabilities.
Crowdstrike uses a lightweight agent that has no impact on user performance and prevents both commodity and sophisticated attacks for file-based and file-less attacks.
The solution provides real-time endpoint visibility and insight into applications and processes across the environment. It protects all workloads, able to operate across Windows, MacOSX, Linux, mobile devices, as well as servers and containers in modern hybrid multi-cloud data centres.
About Carbon Black
VMware Carbon Black provides a next-generation AV and EDR solution that protects against the full spectrum of modern cyber-attacks. Using the universal agent and console, the solution applies behavioural analytics to endpoint events to streamline detection, prevention, and response to cyber-attacks.
Protection is provided through multiple layers which include file reputation, heuristics, machine learning, and behavioural models to analyse endpoint activity and block malicious behaviour to stop all types of attack before they reach critical systems. With flexible behavioural prevention policies, protection is easily tailored to your distinct needs.
Carbon Black records all process activity on an endpoint, making it ideal as a threat hunting and incident investigation platform.

Frequently Asked Questions about Data Privacy Security
What is an incident response policy?
An Incident response plan or policy is a process you create before you experience a cyberattack. This is so that your team has a procedure to follow when you do experience a data breach. EDGENETIC follows the CREST Cybersecurity Incident Response process which is broken down into 3 phases: preparation, response, and follow up. Having a breach plan gives you the confidence to quickly nullify any threat to your data privacy security.
Why is data privacy security important?
Although it has always been important, the implications and need for higher security are coming into play now that technology is indispensable to everyday life. Using apps, browsing websites, and shopping online are all examples of how your data will be stored and managed online. For organisations today, the threat of cyber theft is a pertinent one. Having comprehensive data privacy plans in place can reduce and mitigate the risks of such events.
Does EDGENETIC practice sustainability?
As a company with a global footprint, sustainability is an area of importance to us. We are a registered ‘Investor in People’ organisation. Taking a cue from ISO 14001, we have strong sustainability practices put in place. Our organisation also hires fairly and equally, across gender and race. By working with us, you can rest assured that we implement data privacy security measures with ethics at the core of our mission.
