Protecting your business from evolving threats requires more than just tools - it requires expertise.
That’s where EDR and MDR come in - combining powerful technology with human expertise to detect, analyse, and respond to threats in real time. Together, they provide the insight and protection your business needs around the clock.
What is Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)?
EDR is technology that continuously monitors your endpoints - including laptops, desktops, and servers - for signs of suspicious behaviour. It detects, analyses, and responds to threats, giving your business real-time visibility and automated defence against cyber-attacks.
What is Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?
MDR is a managed service that brings in a team of cyber security experts to monitor, investigate, and respond to threats 24/7. It combines advanced tools with human intelligence to proactively hunt for threats and take action when an incident occurs.
EDR & MDR
How they work together
EDR and MDR aren’t competing solutions - they’re designed to complement each other.
EDR provides the technology and visibility, constantly monitoring endpoints and flagging suspicious behaviour. But alerts alone don’t solve the problem. That’s where MDR comes in. With a team of experts behind the tools, MDR validates real threats, investigates alerts, and takes swift action to contain them.

Technology and expertise, working as one.
Together, they create a layered defence: EDR forms the foundation with detection and insight, while MDR adds human intelligence and proactive response - strengthening your protection and scaling your security posture.

Why it matters to businesses
Cyber-attacks are growing in sophistication - and cost. With 67% of UK employees knowingly taking risky actions online, and the average UK data breach costing £4 million, businesses can’t afford to rely on reactive measures.
By layering EDR and MDR, you ensure threats are not only detected but also understood, prioritised, and contained quickly - reducing downtime, financial loss, and reputational damage.
