Behavioural detection
Watches what processes actually do, catching fileless and script-based attacks that signatures never see.
Cyber Security
Endpoint Protection & Antivirus
One compromised laptop can encrypt the files half your business runs on before anyone notices. Signature antivirus stopped being enough roughly a decade ago, so this is behavioural detection, watched by people who act on it.

Behaviouraldetection that catches what signatures miss
What this protects
What a single infected laptop can cost
The price of an infection rarely shows up on the endpoint itself. It shows up as lost trading hours, a ransom demand, and a customer asking how their data was exposed.
Downtime you feel in billing
Bulk encryption stops work instantly. Recovery is measured in hours of lost billing, and sometimes in days.
Ransom demands
Containment and rollback mean an encrypted file is a recoverable inconvenience rather than a decision about whether to pay.
Insurance and evidence
Insurers ask what protection is in place and whether anyone is watching it. A monitored console answers both.
Why "we have antivirus" is not an answer
Traditional antivirus works by recognising known bad files. That was reasonable when malware was a file you downloaded. Modern attacks frequently are not a file at all. They are a script that runs in memory, a legitimate administrative tool used for the wrong purpose, or a login with stolen credentials that never touches your endpoints.
The endpoint agent we deploy watches behaviour rather than only identity. A document that spawns a command shell, an application that suddenly starts encrypting files in bulk, a credential dump attempt: those patterns are detectable regardless of whether the specific file has been seen before.
The second half of the problem is that nobody looks. An unmonitored console generates alerts into a void. We monitor, triage and act.
What is included
Ransomware rollback
Detects bulk encryption as it begins and can roll back the affected files rather than restoring from backup.
Monitored console
Alerts are triaged by our team by severity. You hear about the ones that need a decision, not the noise.
Centralised patching
Operating system and third-party application patching from the same agent, with reporting.
Device control
Policy for USB storage and removable media, which remains a favoured route for both accidents and malice.
Reporting
Coverage, patching state and detection history per device, useful evidence for compliance frameworks.
Why this beats a free antivirus
- It is licensed for business use, which free consumer products are not
- It is centrally managed, so it cannot be quietly switched off by whoever is using the laptop
- Detection events are correlated across your whole estate, not judged device by device
- It reports whether every endpoint is still checking in, so a machine that has been dark for a month gets noticed
- It gives you evidence of protection for insurance questionnaires and Cyber Essentials
Questions we get asked about Endpoint Protection & Antivirus
Defender is genuinely competent these days and we will say so. What it does not give you is a monitored console across every device, centralised policy, reporting, or anyone acting on what it finds. You are paying for the management as much as the detection.
Modern agents are far lighter than they were. We exclude known-heavy line-of-business applications during deployment so the performance impact stays negligible.
Yes. Protection applies wherever the device is, and policies follow the user rather than requiring them to be on the office network.
It catches some of the consequences. Phishing itself needs email filtering and, more importantly, training, because the emails that get through are designed to look legitimate.
The agent contains the threat automatically, then raises it to our console. We investigate, confirm whether anything else was touched, and tell you what happened and what we did.
