Five key benefits of Endpoint Detection & Response as a Service

As social and economic factors push more organisations to adopt remote working practices, strong endpoint security is increasingly becoming a vital component of any organisation’s cyber security strategy. Deploying an effective Endpoint Detection & Response as a Service (EDRaaS) security solution is essential to protecting both the enterprise and the remote workers from cyber threats.
 

1. The threat landscape is changing
 

Cyber criminals will always seek the easiest path to a pay day, often targeting small to medium sized businesses with weaker security infrastructure protecting their valuable assets.
 

Malicious individuals are skilled at bypassing traditional perimeters and antivirus defences on their way to vulnerable endpoints. Once the attacker has established a beachhead, they can begin their lateral movements towards valuable assets.
 

Unfortunately, for users with very limited detection tools, this lateral movement with malicious intent often gets mistaken for normal user activity. Enhancing the risk of a data breach or becoming the next ransomware hostage.
 

EDRaaS goes beyond traditional anti-virus software, continuously monitoring your endpoints to detect suspicious activity to provide comprehensive visibility of everything that is happening from a security perspective. This allows Nviron to accelerate the speed of investigation and ultimately remediation.
 

2. How EDRaaS benefits you
 

EDRaaS goes beyond prevention, playing an integral part in a strong security posture and providing our customers with advanced recovery mechanisms to return you to an operational state as swiftly as possible should a breach occur. As we see it, EDRaaS provides 5 key benefits:
 

Always-on endpoint defence – Protect your Users and Endpoints with next-generation endpoint defence that continuously looks for malware, ransomware, crypto mining infiltrations and malicious activity.
 

IT Experts on hand – Securing your business with industry leading software is a strong start, but software is only as good as the list of vulnerabilities it’s been programmed to identify. Our EDRaaS comes with access to our team of IT experts, which can be further extended with 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) integration.
 

Simple & cost-effective deployment – Every business is looking to streamline costs, Nviron will manage the onboarding process to give you the confidence your endpoints are protected.
 

Simplified management – Our team of IT experts will manage your EDR agents on your behalf, freeing up your time to focus on driving real value.
 

Advanced roll back functionality – EDRaaS goes beyond prevention, providing advanced roll back functionality, allowing Endpoints to be returned to an acceptable no-risk state.
 

3. Peace of mind with always-on endpoint defence
 

Nviron’s EDRaaS (with optional 24/7 SOC integration) provides an “always-on” endpoint defence that delivers enterprise-grade threat detection, with expert incident response and remediation.
 

Nviron continuously monitor your environment for thousands of virus and malware variants. The service is designed to rapidly identify the root cause of a threat and diagnose related corrupt source processes and system settings.
 

When malicious behaviour is detected, response and remediation measures are initiated on the endpoint including disconnect, quarantine or rollback to an acceptable no-risk state. This ensures threats are identified and contained quickly, before they can do harm.
