Question 1

What is endpoint security?

Accepted Answer

Endpoint security protects devices (laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices) that connect to your network. Modern endpoint security uses NextGen EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) — AI-powered behavioural analysis that detects threats traditional antivirus misses, including ransomware, fileless malware, living-off-the-land attacks, and zero-day exploits. For London businesses, endpoint security is typically the most critical layer of defence given the volume of remote and hybrid workers.

Question 2

What's the difference between antivirus and EDR?

Accepted Answer

Traditional antivirus uses signature-based detection — it can only block known threats it has a signature for. EDR uses behavioural analysis and AI to detect threats based on what they do, not what they look like. EDR detects novel malware, ransomware variants, and sophisticated attacks that antivirus misses entirely. EDR also provides full attack timeline visibility, threat hunting, and automated isolation — things antivirus cannot do.

Question 3

Do you support Mac endpoints?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we manage both Windows and macOS endpoints. For Mac fleets, we use Jamf Pro for MDM (device management, compliance, software deployment) and CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Defender for Business for EDR. We also manage FileVault encryption, Gatekeeper, and macOS patching centrally.

Question 4

How much does managed endpoint security cost?

Accepted Answer

Managed endpoint security (EDR + patching + Intune compliance) is included in our Advanced managed IT plan at £50/user/month. As a standalone service, endpoint security management starts from £12/user/month using Microsoft Defender for Business, or from £20/user/month with CrowdStrike Falcon.

Question 5

Can you replace our existing antivirus?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We transition businesses from legacy antivirus (Symantec, McAfee, AVG, Avast, Sophos AV) to NextGen EDR. The migration is managed with no downtime — we deploy the new agent first, validate it's working, then remove the legacy tool. Most businesses see immediate improvement in detection capability and a reduction in false positive alerts.
