Laptops, desktops and servers are where most attacks land first. On IT puts monitored, next-generation protection on every endpoint, so a single click never becomes a company-wide breach.
The vast majority of cyber incidents start at the endpoint - a staff laptop, a remote desktop, an unpatched server. Traditional antivirus only recognises threats it has seen before, which leaves modern ransomware and fileless attacks to slip straight through. Endpoint protection closes that gap by watching behaviour, not just signatures, and stepping in the moment something looks wrong.
With hybrid and remote work, those devices now sit far outside the office firewall. Each one needs to defend itself, and someone needs to be watching when it does.
Encrypts your files and demands payment. Behavioural detection halts it before it spreads across the network.
Lives in memory and leaves no file to scan. EDR catches it by spotting the malicious behaviour instead.
A single click on a bad attachment or link is contained at the device before it can execute.
Unauthorised USB drives and peripherals are blocked through device control policies.
Endpoint protection is more than antivirus. We deploy a layered defence on every managed device and monitor it around the clock.
AI-driven protection that detects threats by behaviour and intent, not just known signatures.
Continuous monitoring that isolates a compromised device automatically and alerts our team to investigate.
If something gets through, the device is isolated and rebuilt clean, while affected server infrastructure can be rolled back to a healthy state before the attack.
Operating systems and applications kept current so known vulnerabilities are closed before they're exploited.
Policies that control what can connect to your machines, blocking unauthorised storage and peripherals.
We watch device health around the clock - uptime, CPU, memory and disk space - so failing hardware and capacity issues are caught and fixed before they cause downtime.
What happens from the moment we deploy to the moment a threat is neutralised.
We roll the agent out across every device with no disruption, then establish what normal looks like for your environment.
Every process, connection and file action is watched in real time against known attack behaviours.
When a device shows signs of compromise, it's automatically isolated from the network to stop any spread.
Our team reviews the alert and removes the threat. Affected endpoints are rebuilt clean, and server infrastructure can be rolled back to a healthy state, before anything returns to service.
You get clear reporting on what was stopped, and we tighten policies so the same vector can't be used again.
Off-the-shelf antivirus is a single tool. On IT's managed support brings protection, monitoring, patching and response together as one service, with our team behind it when something gets through.

An alert is only useful if someone acts on it. Our team investigates and responds, so threats are stopped rather than just logged.
Endpoint protection works alongside your identity, network and Microsoft 365 security as one joined-up defence, not isolated tools.
We roll protection out across your fleet without downtime or disruption to the people doing the work.
Endpoint controls and reporting that support Cyber Essentials, insurance requirements and client due-diligence.
Built-in antivirus is a reasonable baseline, but it isn't centrally managed, doesn't isolate compromised devices automatically, and there's no one watching it on your behalf. Managed EDR adds behavioural detection, automatic response and human oversight that built-in tools don't provide.
No. Modern endpoint agents are lightweight and run quietly in the background. Most staff won't notice it's there until it stops something, and even then the device keeps working.
Yes. Protection follows the device, not the office. A laptop at home, in a cafe or on a client site is monitored and defended exactly the same as one on your network.
The device is automatically isolated from the network to prevent spread, our team is alerted to investigate, and the threat is removed. Affected endpoints are wiped and rebuilt clean from a known-good image, while server infrastructure can be rolled back to a healthy state from backup. You get a clear report on what happened and what we changed to prevent a repeat.
Yes, and they complement each other. Malware protection and secure configuration are core Cyber Essentials controls, and managed endpoint protection is one of the cleanest ways to satisfy and maintain them year-round rather than scrambling at renewal.
