Make your network harder for adversaries to breach. We’ll help you do things like control the apps your people can download, block unsafe content, and manage known vulnerabilities.
Modern malware changes its code and behaviour to avoid detection. Our endpoint security solutions use AI-driven behaviour analysis to instantly block threats before they can morph or multiply.
If a threat makes it into your network, you need a machine-fast response. When our software detects a breach, it instantly alerts one of our technicians – and gives them all the information they need to track down and remediate the root cause.
Backed by market-leading technology.
Antivirus isn’t enough to stop modern cyber threats.
Most modern malware can morph – change its code and behaviour to evade detection.
So you need a security system that can identify threats based on behaviour, not just the type of code they use.
And you need that system to cover every device in your fleet – including mobiles and BYOD endpoints like personal laptops.
We’ll help you get the protection you need with a fully featured EDR platform that uses AI to hunt threats before they become crises.

An endpoint is any physical device that connects to a network. That includes PCs, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. IoT devices – like smart fridges – are also a type of endpoint. All endpoints are potential threat vectors, so it’s important that they’re protected by a proper endpoint security system.
Antivirus works by checking the code of programs against known threats (signature detection). That means it struggles to identify attacks that haven’t previously been entered into its database. Most modern antivirus can conduct heuristic analyses, which involve checking program behaviour against predefined rules rather than a database, but may struggle to detect threats that use legitimate code.
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) uses machine learning and AI to pinpoint suspicious behaviour. In other words: it doesn’t rely on a signature or a heuristic. It knows how malicious programs act (not just what they look like), which is essential for detecting more sophisticated attacks. EDRs can also actively hunt down threats across your network – antivirus can generally only quarantine attack payloads.
EDR platforms like SentinelOne defend against all classes of cyber threats, including:
Extended detection and response (XDR) is exactly what it sounds like – a type of defence that extends beyond endpoints into your cloud environment, email, and other parts of your network. XDR lets you or your cybersecurity partner see all your security data in one place, which makes it easier to identify sophisticated attacks.
Asking your team to bring their own devices (BYOD) is a very bad idea, especially from a security standpoint.
Firstly, their hardware may not be fit for purpose. It could, for example, lack a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip – which means we can’t implement safeguards like token binding. You have no way to enforce minimum hardware standards, because it’s their personal device.
Secondly, it’s impossible to fully secure an unmanaged personal device that’s used in the same way as a standard corporate device. A user could download malware, connect to unsecured Wi-Fi, leave their device unlocked in a public place, or engage in any one of many, many other activities that leave them exposed to attackers.
If BYOD is absolutely necessary, the best approach is to use something like Windows Cloud PC (Windows 365). Your users can log into a fully virtual desktop, which essentially bypasses the risks associated with local storage.
For mobile phones – and laptops when Cloud PC isn’t viable – app protection policies (APPs) via Intune mobile application management (MAM) are a good idea. APPs mean we can set certain conditions when your users try to access corporate data through mobile apps, such as requiring a device PIN to access work email via the Outlook mobile app. MAM also allows us to do things like selectively wipe corporate data from apps without affecting users’ personal data. We’ll normally pair MAM with conditional access policies, like not letting users log into their 365 accounts from overseas, for a high level of protection.
