Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Detect, contain, and neutralise threats at the endpoint.
Book your endpoint assessmentYour endpoints are still a primary cyber attack target, and modern threats often evade traditional antivirus protections. EDR, delivered through Ultima, combines advanced detection, automated response, and expert optimisation to stop threats at the device level. Prevent compromise, cut endpoint dwell time, and reduce the rate of escalation from alert to incident.
Rapid detection & containment
Contain threats early in the kill chain with advanced detection engines that identify and respond to sophisticated and fast-moving endpoint attacks in real time.
Intelligent response & remediation
Reduce persistence at the endpoint and minimise business disruption with automated isolation, process termination, rollback, and guided remediation.
Continuously tuned protection
Improve your accuracy with always-on detection engineering. We ensure your EDR configuration is tuned to your estate, aligned to your risk profile, and optimised to perform.
Enterprise-grade Endpoint Detection & Response technology
We partner with leading security vendors to align your endpoint detection needs with your environment and preferences, without locking you into a single approach.
Microsoft
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint delivers deep integration across Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, combining behavioural analytics, threat intelligence, and automated investigation to protect identities, devices, and workloads within a unified security ecosystem.
CrowdStrike
CrowdStrike Falcon is a cloud-native EDR engine with lightweight deployment and powerful threat intelligence. Its AI-driven detection and real-time response capabilities stop sophisticated adversaries across distributed environments, supporting deep enterprise-wide cyber resilience.
Sophos
Sophos Intercept X integrates deep-learning AI with advanced anti-ransomware capabilities like CryptoGuard for automatic file recovery. Its multi-layered defense, spanning exploit prevention to XDR, facilitates 24/7 expert-led threat hunting, neutralising sophisticated attacks.
Why do I need EDR?
Endpoints remain the primary entry point for ransomware, phishing payloads, credential theft, and insider threats. Traditional antivirus cannot detect today’s behavioural and fileless attacks. EDR provides the visibility, detection depth, and response capability required to stop threats at the device level — before they escalate into wider compromise.
Endpoint attacks are harder to manage because adversaries increasingly use stolen credentials, legitimate tools, and malware-free techniques that evade traditional controls and move laterally in minutes. Detection windows are shrinking, alert volumes are rising, and misconfiguration creates gaps. Only best-in-class EDR, expertly tuned and managed by a trusted partner, prevents critical threats being missed.

EDR, engineered by Ultima
Technology alone doesn’t guarantee protection. We design, deploy, and optimise the best-fit EDR solution, ensuring it integrates and performs with your environment to deliver meaningful threat detection.
This is about much more than alerts and reporting. From policy design to deployment, tuning, and lifecycle management, we ensure EDR delivers measurable security and contributes to lasting cyber resilience.
FAQs
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) is a security solution that continuously monitors endpoint activity to detect malicious behaviour, investigate incidents, and automate containment. Unlike traditional antivirus, it focuses on behavioural analysis and response, not just signature-based prevention.
Antivirus relies primarily on known malware signatures. EDR uses behavioural analytics, machine learning, and threat intelligence to detect advanced and previously unseen attacks — including fileless malware and lateral movement — while providing investigation and remediation capabilities.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), Managed Detection & Response (MDR), and Extended Detection & Response (XDR) all monitor, detect, and respond to threats, but each does so differently.
EDR protects your endpoints by identifying, blocking, and automatically remediating threats. It’s your frontline defence against attacks before they infiltrate your environment.
XDR extends EDR, ingesting and analysing data from endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, and applications for a unified view that provides broader coverage.
MDR adds 24/7 human-managed monitoring to EDR/XDR. This service offers active hunting and incident response, making it ideal for teams without dedicated security operations.
We can secure virtually any endpoint in your organisation – laptops and desktops (Windows, macOS, Linux), servers, virtual machines (VM), and mobile devices. Using leading EDR solutions from Sophos, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, you get consistent threat detection, automated remediation, and real-time protection wherever your devices are—on-premises or remote—giving your team a unified view of security.
