In today’s digital landscape, traditional antivirus (AV) solutions are no longer sufficient to protect businesses from sophisticated cyber threats. Studies show that 80% of threats detected by Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems have already bypassed basic AV security, highlighting the need for advanced protection measures. This is where Managed EDR comes in, offering businesses a proactive, expert-driven approach to cybersecurity that goes beyond traditional cyber defences.
Why Businesses Need Managed EDR
Cybercriminals continuously evolve their tactics, using advanced techniques to evade detection. Standard AV solutions rely on signature-based detection, which means they can only identify known threats. However, modern attacks often involve zero-day exploits, fileless malware, and persistent footholds, which AV software struggles to detect. Managed EDR solutions, such as Huntress Managed EDR, managed by Bluecube, provide continuous monitoring, behavioural analysis, and expert-led threat hunting to identify and neutralise threats before they cause damage.
Key Features of Managed EDR
Managed EDR is designed to provide comprehensive endpoint protection, ensuring businesses can detect, respond to and recover from cyber threats effectively. Some of its standout features include:
- Persistent Foothold Detection – Attackers often hide within legitimate applications and processes. Huntress Managed EDR identifies these hidden threats and removes them before they can escalate.
- Behavioural Analysis – Instead of relying solely on signature-based detection, Managed EDR uses behavioural analysis to identify suspicious activity, ensuring even unknown threats are detected.
- Ransomware Canaries – Managed EDR deploys lightweight files that act as early warning indicators for ransomware attacks, allowing businesses to respond before encryption spreads.
- 24/7 Expert-Led Threat Hunting – Unlike automated security solutions, this provides human-led threat hunting, ensuring that complex attacks are identified and mitigated by cybersecurity professionals.
- Open Port Detection – Attackers often exploit exposed entry points. We can help to strengthen perimeter defences by identifying and securing vulnerable ports.
- Rapid Threat Response – From containment to remediation, Managed EDR ensures businesses can quickly neutralise threats and recover from cyber incidents.
The Business Impact of Managed EDR
For businesses, the consequences of a cyber attack can be devastating, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Huntress Managed EDR from Bluecube helps mitigate these risks by providing real-time detection, rapid response, and expert oversight. With less than 1% false positive rate and an industry-leading mean time to respond (MTTR) of just 8 minutes, Huntress ensures businesses can stay ahead of cyber threats.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, businesses must adopt proactive security measures to protect their digital assets. Managed EDR offers comprehensive endpoint protection, combining advanced threat detection, expert-led response, and continuous monitoring to safeguard businesses from cyber attacks. By investing in managed EDR solutions, organizations can enhance their security posture, minimize risks, and ensure long-term resilience in an increasingly hostile cyber environment.
