Solution
Managed endpoint protection across workstations, servers and mobile devices: prevention policy, patching, encryption and detection that someone actually reviews.
Every device covered by a policy that matches its role, with detections reaching a named owner.
Coverage is defined by device role, enforced from one console, and measured by whether detections reach a person who acts on them.
Every device is enrolled; unmanaged machines are the ones that cause incidents.
Product chosen against estate size, existing licensing and who will operate the console.
Rules run in audit mode first so business tools are not broken on day one.
A compromised host can be cut off from the network while responders keep access to it.
Coverage gaps and unpatched software are reviewed on a schedule, not after a breach.
For a small, well-patched estate it can be, especially with Defender for Endpoint licensing you may already own. What is usually missing is central policy, reporting and someone reviewing detections.
By estate size, existing licensing, hardware age, data-residency requirements and whether anyone internally will operate the console. There is no single right answer, and the comparison is written down before a purchase.
EDR matters where an incident would be materially expensive and someone will act on alerts. Without that ownership, prevention plus good patching delivers more per pound spent.
Yes. Console operation, policy tuning, coverage reporting and detection triage can be run as a managed service.
