Stop ransomware and account takeovers with 24/7 endpoint monitoring, expert investigation, and rapid containment—so threats are stopped before they become downtime.

Most attacks start on an endpoint: a laptop, desktop, or server. Traditional antivirus misses modern threats like credential theft, “living off the land” attacks, and ransomware that spreads quietly before it detonates. Acumen Managed Cybersecurity delivers Managed EDR that watches for suspicious behavior, validates what’s real, and responds fast when it matters.

Why EDR is different than antivirus

Antivirus looks for known bad files. EDR watches behavior—what programs do, what they connect to, what they try to change, and whether activity matches real attack patterns. That visibility is what helps stop today’s threats earlier.

With Managed EDR, you get:

• Earlier ransomware detection and faster containment
• Visibility into suspicious endpoint behavior and attacker tactics
• Reduced “alert noise” through expert triage and tuning
• Clear timelines and evidence to support response decisions
• Ongoing improvements that reduce risk over time

What’s included with Acumen Managed EDR

Managed EDR isn’t just a software license. It’s an ongoing security service that combines advanced detection with a team that monitors, investigates, and responds.

24/7 monitoring and investigation

We monitor endpoint telemetry continuously and validate suspicious activity so your team isn’t chasing false alarms. When something is real, we escalate with clear context and recommended actions.

Rapid containment when threats are detected

When risk is confirmed, we move quickly to limit impact—up to and including isolating a device from the network when necessary. We work to stop malicious processes, block persistence, and help prevent spread.

Guided remediation and recovery support

We provide step-by-step remediation guidance and coordinate the work required to return systems to a secure state. If Acumen also manages your IT, we can handle the remediation directly.

How Managed EDR Works

1. Assess
   We review your environment, endpoint inventory, remote users, and risk profile so the deployment matches your business and security goals.

2. Deploy
   We deploy the EDR agent to supported endpoints and servers with minimal disruption.

3. Tune
   We tailor policies and reduce alert noise while ensuring detections remain strong.

4. Monitor and respond
   We monitor continuously, investigate suspicious activity, and respond quickly to contain threats and guide remediation.

What Managed EDR helps stop

Managed EDR is built to detect and respond to real-world endpoint threats such as:
• Ransomware behaviors and lateral movement
• Credential theft and suspicious access patterns
• Malicious scripts and “fileless” attack techniques
• Persistence mechanisms designed to survive reboots
• Unexpected tools and processes commonly used in breaches

Is Managed EDR right for your business?

Managed EDR is a great fit if you have:
• Remote or hybrid staff and laptops outside the office
• Compliance requirements or cyber insurance pressure
• Sensitive data or operational downtime risk
• A small internal IT team that needs security backup
• A desire to reduce ransomware impact and shorten response time

What you should expect from Managed EDR

You should expect:
• Faster detection and containment of real threats
• Fewer unknowns during incidents with clear investigation timelines
• Reduced business impact through rapid isolation and response
• A more secure endpoint environment over time through hardening recommendations.

Managed EDR FAQs

What’s the difference between EDR and MDR?
EDR is the endpoint detection technology. MDR is the managed service layer—monitoring, investigation, and response—built around EDR and related telemetry.

Do we still need antivirus?
In many environments, EDR replaces traditional antivirus or includes next-gen AV features. We’ll standardize your endpoint protection so you aren’t running overlapping tools that conflict or create gaps.

Can you provide Managed EDR if you’re not our IT provider?
Yes. Acumen can provide Managed EDR as a standalone service, or as part of our Managed IT Services.

Will it slow down our computers?
Modern EDR agents are designed to be lightweight. We tune policies to balance strong detection with performance and stability.

How fast can we get started?
Most organizations can begin onboarding quickly depending on endpoint count, server complexity, and access requirements.
