Endpoint Protection
Endpoints are where most incidents start. AS deploys and manages endpoint protection so every device is covered, policies are sensible and alerts are acted on.
When you need this
- Mixed or unmanaged antivirus across devices
- Servers excluded from protection 'for performance'
- Alerts nobody reviews
- Remote and personal devices accessing company data
- Insurer requires EDR
What we do
Coverage and deployment
Every server and workstation enrolled; gaps found and closed.
Policy
Protection, exclusions and response actions configured sensibly.
Alert handling
Alerts triaged and escalated as part of monitoring.
How it works
- Step 1
Protect
Reduce the attack surface: hardening, patching, access controls, endpoint protection and isolated backups.
- Step 2
Detect
Monitoring and alerting so suspicious activity is noticed early, not after encryption.
- Step 3
Respond
A prepared, structured response that contains the incident and preserves evidence.
- Step 4
Recover
Verified, isolated backups and a tested plan so the business can come back quickly.
What affects the outcome
Outcomes are never guaranteed. Every case is assessed on its own condition, and we tell you what is realistic before you commit.
- No control eliminates risk entirely; the aim is to reduce likelihood and impact
- Existing patch levels, configurations and legacy systems that cannot be changed quickly
- User behaviour and the strength of identity and access controls
- Visibility: what is logged and monitored today
- Isolation and verification of backups, which determine recoverability after an incident
Frequently asked questions
Does endpoint protection stop ransomware?
It reduces the chance significantly but no product stops everything. It must be paired with access controls, patching and isolated backups.
