Stop ransomware fast with EDR + 24/7 MDR
EDR is the technology. MDR is the human response.
Your security can’t stop at the firewall. Modern attacks target endpoints directly. Our WatchGuard-powered EDR spots and isolates threats in real time; the MDR team confirms, contains, and guides remediation — day or night.
What Is EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)?
EDR is the next level of endpoint protection. Powered by WatchGuard, our EDR solution goes beyond traditional antivirus. Commercial antivirus has existed since the late 1980s—EDR takes it much further.
Key Benefits of EDR
- Real-time detection of ransomware, fileless malware, and zero-day exploits
- Automated threat isolation to stop attacks before they spread
- Continuous monitoring of endpoint behaviour to spot unusual activity
- Deep visibility into attack paths and root causes
In short: EDR helps identify threats that get past legacy defences—and stops them fast.
What Is MDR (Managed Detection and Response)?
MDR adds a 24/7 human layer on top of your technology. While EDR collects and inspects security data, MDR brings a Security Operations Centre (SOC) that monitors, investigates, and responds on your behalf.
Through our partnership with WatchGuard’s MDR service, Peak Networks offers:
- Around-the-clock monitoring by security analysts
- Threat triage and validation (fewer false alarms)
- Incident response guidance and remediation steps
- Proactive threat hunting to uncover hidden risks
EDR vs MDR: What’s the Difference?
| EDR | MDR |
|---|---|
| Software-based solution | Managed security service |
| Automated threat monitoring | Human + automated monitoring |
| Automated response to threats | Analyst-led, strategic response |
Why EDR + MDR Is the Optimal Solution
We recommend a layered approach to endpoint security. EDR and MDR are strongest when used together:
- EDR gives visibility and control across your devices.
- MDR ensures expert oversight so no critical threat goes unnoticed—or unresolved.
You get enterprise-grade protection without a large in-house team. Whether you’re a growing SME or managing hybrid users, we’ll tailor the right endpoint strategy for your business.
