Advanced Threat Protection you should be using
TLDR
Adopt layered Advanced Threat Protection: threat detection, endpoint protection, email security, network monitoring, EDR/XDR, threat intelligence, regular patching, MFA, and user training. Combine automation and human analysis, continuous monitoring, and incident response planning to reduce breaches and speed recovery.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, businesses need robust, cost-effective security solutions that work across both modern and traditional IT environments.

Sophisticated cyber attacks are increasingly bypassing traditional security measures like Webroot. We’re seeing a sharp rise in both compromised email accounts and successful phishing attacks evading standard security defences. Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a growing concern. As these threats manipulate their way into inboxes, it’s clear that businesses of all sizes need to be ready.
Common Security Scenarios Your Business Might Face
The cyber threat landscape has shifted dramatically. Phishing attacks have become more sophisticated and harder to detect. Compromised email accounts are being used to launch attacks from within trusted networks. Traditional security measures are increasingly inadequate against modern threats. The cost of a successful breach far outweighs the investment in prevention
Email Security Challenges
A typical organisation email compromise scenario: A staff member receives what appears to be an invoice from a regular supplier but with updated bank details. Without advanced email protection, spotting subtle domain changes or fraudulent payment requests can be nearly impossible for employees.
Ransomware Risks
Consider this common scenario: An employee opens what looks like a routine PDF attachment, unknowingly launching ransomware that begins encrypting company files. Without real-time threat detection, the encryption could spread across the network before anyone notices.
Data Recovery Needs
A frequent business challenge: Accidental deletion of crucial SharePoint files during team collaboration. Without proper backup solutions, recovering this data could be impossible, potentially leading to days or weeks of lost work.
Internal Data Protection
A modern business reality: Employee turnover can create data security risks. Without proper monitoring and protection, detecting and preventing unauthorized data access or downloads becomes extremely challenging.

Comprehensive Protection for Every Business
Multi-factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security to email accounts, making it more challenging for attackers to gain access.
This single layer of protection alone isn’t enough. We offer two powerful security solutions that go beyond traditional antivirus and cyber-attack protection: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR).
These solutions are designed to combat the sophisticated attacks we’re seeing today. They proactively monitor for and detect anomalies, including looking for behavioural indicators of BEC, like suspicious inbox rules or login attempts from unusual locations.
Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) delivers:
✅ 24/7 real-time identity monitoring and response by experienced analysts
✅ Alerts only when threats are confirmed as malicious
✅ Defence against risks like credential theft, session hijacking, and business email compromise
With this advanced protection in place, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing that threats are identified and handled promptly. Managed ITDR integrates seamlessly with your Microsoft 365 environment.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools use a variety of techniques, including:
✅ Data analytics: Analyses ecosystem and user data to detect suspicious system behaviour
✅ Machine learning: Used to analyse data and establish a baseline of regular activity
✅ Threat intelligence: Employs threat intelligence to help detect cyber threats.
✅ Behavioural analysis: Utilises behavioural analysis to identify abnormal activity
Advanced EDR solutions combined with a true 24/7 security team – so that any potential threats EDR identifies are investigated by a human expert. No matter what time of the day (or night), so immediate action can be taken.
