Is traditional antivirus still enough to protect your clients?
For years, Anti-Virus software was the go-to defence against malware. But times have changed — and so have the threats.
Today’s cyber attacks are more sophisticated, faster-moving, and harder to detect than ever before. That’s why many businesses are making the switch from traditional antivirus to Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
So, what’s the difference? And why does it matter?
Traditional Anti-Virus: Basic, Reactive Protection
Anti-Virus software relies on signature-based detection. That means it identifies known threats by comparing files to a database of existing malware.
The problem?
Modern attacks often use new, unknown tactics — including fileless malware and zero-day exploits — which don’t have a signature. That means antivirus alone can’t catch them.
Even worse, if a threat does get through, there’s often no way to know how it got in or what it did.
Managed EDR: Smarter, Real-Time Protection
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) goes beyond Anti-Virus. It continuously monitors endpoints (like laptops and desktops) for suspicious behaviour — not just known threats.
Managed EDR includes:
✅ Real-time threat detection using AI and behavioural analytics
🚨 Automated response and isolation of compromised devices
🔍 Detailed visibility into how attacks happened and what was affected
🧠 Human security experts who investigate and respond to threats
This means threats are caught faster, damage is contained sooner, and your clients are better protected — without needing to manage anything themselves.
Why Managed EDR is Better for Business
Here’s what your clients gain with a Managed EDR solution:
Faster detection and response – No waiting for a virus signature update
Protection against unknown threats – Including ransomware and fileless attacks
No manual effort – Our team handles the monitoring, alerts, and investigation
Clear reports – Clients see what happened, what was done, and how it was resolved
Scalable protection – Perfect for hybrid and remote teams
Final Thought
Cyber threats have evolved. If your clients are still relying on traditional Anti-Virus, they could be exposed.
Managed EDR offers a more intelligent, proactive, and fully managed way to stay ahead of modern attacks.
