Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a security technology that continuously monitors the activity on your business devices — laptops, desktops, servers — and detects threats that traditional antivirus misses. Unlike antivirus, which matches files against a database of known malware signatures, EDR analyses behaviour in real time, catching novel ransomware variants, fileless malware, and living-off-the-land attacks that leave no signature to detect.
What's Included
Everything you get with our endpoint detection and response (edr) service service.
Full Endpoint Coverage
EDR agents deployed on all business endpoints — desktops, laptops, and servers — providing continuous behavioural monitoring.
Behavioural Detection
Goes beyond signature-based detection to identify suspicious behaviour patterns, fileless attacks, and living-off-the-land techniques.
Threat Investigation
When a detection fires, our analysts investigate the full attack chain — what happened, how it got in, and what was affected.
Automated Response
Pre-configured response actions isolate compromised endpoints, block malicious processes, and prevent lateral movement automatically.
Continuous Updates
Detection rules and threat intelligence are continuously updated to protect against emerging threats.
Visibility and Reporting
Full visibility into your endpoint security posture through dashboards and regular reports.
How It Works

Frequently Asked Questions
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is a security technology that continuously monitors activity on business devices — laptops, desktops, servers — and detects threats through behavioural analysis rather than signature matching alone. It provides visibility into the full context of an attack, enabling security analysts to investigate and respond decisively.
EDR provides significantly broader protection than traditional antivirus. It detects threats that antivirus misses — novel ransomware, fileless malware, living-off-the-land attacks — and provides the investigation context needed for effective incident response. Most organisations retain antivirus as a first-line control, with EDR providing the deeper visibility and response capability that antivirus cannot offer.
If your business handles sensitive data, processes customer personal information, or has cyber insurance requirements, EDR is the appropriate endpoint security standard. The NCSC recommends EDR for organisations that represent a meaningful target for cyberattacks — which includes all UK SMEs in regulated sectors and most with over 20 staff.
EDR is the technology platform. MDR (Managed Detection and Response) is the service built around it — adding human analyst coverage, threat intelligence, and active incident response. An EDR tool without monitoring is a dashboard that no one checks. AMVIA's service combines both. See our [MDR vs EDR comparison](/cybersecurity/compare/mdr-vs-edr/).
In most cases, yes. Modern EDR platforms include next-generation antivirus (NGAV) as a component, providing superior detection to standalone antivirus. Replacing legacy antivirus with EDR is a common upgrade path. AMVIA manages this transition as part of the onboarding process.
