“We have antivirus” is not a security control.
Consumer antivirus matches known malware signatures. Modern intrusions don't use known malware — they use your own admin tools against you. Managed endpoint detection and response, powered by Sophos, watches behaviour, not just signatures, on every device.

Antivirus asks “have I seen this before?” Modern attacks are built to answer no.
Consumer and free antivirus tools rely on recognising malware that's already been catalogued. An attacker using a brand-new variant, or no malware at all, just your own system tools, walks straight past that check. Endpoint detection and response watches what a process does, not just what it is.
Detection that watches behaviour, not a catalogue.
Every device carries the same standard, monitored and actioned by us, not left to whatever came pre-installed.
- 01
We watch behaviour, not just signatures
Managed EDR flags what a process does — encrypting files at speed, disabling backups — not only what it's been catalogued as.
- 02
We deploy to the whole fleet
Every device is enrolled and monitored, not a subset chosen because it was easiest to reach.
- 03
We isolate automatically, at machine speed
A confirmed threat gets the affected device disconnected in seconds, before a human has finished reading the alert.
- 04
We can roll back what got through
Ransomware encryption events can be reversed to the pre-encryption state, not just detected after the fact.
6 controls. One accountable partner.
Every line below is deployed, monitored, and maintained by us — not a part-time attention split across your other vendors.

“We have antivirus” and managed EDR are not the same sentence.
Side by side, the line is not subtle.

We don't describe the work. We show it.
A ransomware encryption event, rolled back in nineteen minutes.
- A finance-team laptop was compromised via a malicious macro that consumer antivirus had cleared as safe.
- Managed EDR detected the encryption behaviour within seconds and isolated the device automatically.
- The affected files were rolled back to their pre-encryption state without restoring from backup.
The laptop was back in use the same afternoon. No ransom was discussed, and no data was lost.
