Endpoint Protection & Monitoring
Every laptop, desktop, and server in your business — protected by enterprise-grade Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), monitored 24/7 by our security team, with active containment when something looks wrong.
Why Antivirus Alone Isn't Enough Anymore
Traditional antivirus was built for a world where malware came in files with known signatures. That world ended around 2015. Modern attacks are fileless, polymorphic, or live-off-the-land — they use tools already installed on the device (PowerShell, WMI, scheduled tasks) to operate without triggering signature-based detection.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) was built for the new threat model. Instead of matching files, it watches behaviour: what processes start, what they touch, what they communicate with. Suspicious patterns — even from legitimate tools used in malicious ways — get flagged in real time.
But EDR is only half the equation. The other half is operations: someone watching the alerts, triaging them, deciding what's real, and acting fast. EDR without a SOC is a smoke detector with no fire department.

What's Included
Tooling, deployment, monitoring, and response — all managed.
How It Works
From deployment to active defence.
Deploy
We push the EDR agent to every endpoint — laptops, desktops, servers, Macs — via your existing management tools or directly. Deployment typically takes 1–2 days for a 25-person business.
Baseline
The agent learns normal behaviour for each device over the first 7–14 days, reducing false positives and creating a clean signal for genuine anomalies.
Detect
Behavioural analytics catch attacks that have no signature — process injection, credential dumping, lateral movement, ransomware encryption patterns.
Contain
When something fires, the SOC investigates and contains. For high-confidence threats, the agent auto-isolates the device from the network within seconds.
Recover
Post-incident, we eradicate the threat, rebuild the device if needed, restore from clean backup, and produce a written incident report.
Antivirus vs Managed EDR
Where the old model ends and the modern one begins.
| Dimension | Antivirus | Kapacyber Managed EDR |
|---|---|---|
| Detection model | Signature-based (known bad) | Behavioural + signature + cloud intel |
| Zero-day protection | Limited | Strong |
| Ransomware response | Block known variants | Detect encryption behaviour + rollback |
| Lateral movement detection | None | Yes |
| Live response (remote investigation) | No | Yes — analyst can investigate without disturbing user |
| Forensic evidence | Minimal logs | Full timeline of process, file, and network activity |
| 24/7 human monitoring | No (it's just software) | Yes (with managed EDR) |
Tools We Operate
We're tool-agnostic. The right EDR depends on your stack, scale, and integration needs.
Built For
- • Businesses with 5+ endpoints to manage
- • Owners who can't afford an in-house security analyst
- • Regulated industries needing documented endpoint controls
- • Companies hit by malware or ransomware before
- • Cyber-insured businesses (insurers now require EDR)
Not Built For
- • Heavily air-gapped environments (we'll discuss alternatives)
- • OT/ICS networks (specialist tooling needed)
- • Businesses unwilling to allow remote isolation of devices

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between antivirus and EDR?
Antivirus matches files against known-bad signatures and is largely useless against modern threats. EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) watches behaviour in real time — what processes are running, what files they're touching, what network connections they're making — and can stop attacks that have never been seen before. See our deep-dive: EDR vs Antivirus.
Will EDR slow down my computers?
Modern EDR agents add roughly 1–3% CPU overhead on a typical business laptop. Users almost never notice. We tune the deployment to minimise impact on resource-heavy workloads like CAD, video editing, or development environments.
What happens if an attacker gets onto a device?
Our SOC sees the alert in seconds. Depending on severity, we isolate the device from the network within minutes, kill the malicious process, collect forensic evidence, and start eradication. You're typically informed inside 15 minutes — not next business day.
Do you cover Macs, Linux, and servers?
Yes. Modern EDR platforms support Windows, macOS, Linux, and most server operating systems. We deploy across your whole estate, not just laptops.
What about BYOD devices?
We handle BYOD via mobile device management (MDM) for tablets and phones, and we recommend company-owned laptops for staff who handle sensitive data. Mixing personal and business on the same laptop creates legal and technical issues we'd rather help you avoid.
