Managed Endpoint Detection Response

Our Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR/MDR) service allows you to benefit from our experienced team of cybersecurity specialists, industry-leading technology, and threat intelligence.

Managed Endpoint Detection and Response

Modern computing endpoints connect to a vast number of different systems, they host critical and confidential information as well as acting as a pivot point for attackers to delve deeper into and around your network. Because of this they constitute a significant attack surface and often pose a substantial security risk. 

Modern attacks have moved away from those detected by traditional endpoint defences like anti-virus, to more advanced techniques including social engineering user and network based attacks. Ransomware or data theft attacks now commonly employ a carefully crafted set of highly sophisticated attack techniques to evade detection – often for weeks at a time.

First Response’s Managed Endpoint Detection and Response service incorporates industry-leading technologies to detect common and advanced attacks aimed at your organisation. This is augmented by comprehensive threat intelligence feeds and an experienced team of threat researchers, security analysts, threat hunters and incident responders to secure your organisation from attack. 

Knowing that First Response is continuously monitoring your environment and extending the capabilities of your team provides tremendous relief in the uncertain world of cybersecurity. As a client, First Response provides you with a broad range of proactive and ad-hoc services to ensure you’re always protected and any questions or concerns you may have are addressed.
