Catch What Antivirus Misses — Real Detection and Response on Every Endpoint
We deploy Microsoft Defender for Endpoint through Intune so every device has true detection and response — spotting attacks antivirus never sees, isolating compromised machines in a click, and showing you which vulnerabilities to fix first.
Traditional antivirus tells you a file was bad. It doesn’t tell you what the attacker did next.
Modern attacks don’t drop an obvious virus — they live off the land, abuse legitimate tools, and move laterally before anyone notices. Signature-based antivirus is blind to most of it. By the time something visible happens, the attacker’s already been in your environment for days, and you have no trail to follow.
The old way was antivirus that blocks known-bad files and hopes for the best. The better way is endpoint detection and response that watches behavior, catches the subtle attacks, and lets you respond in seconds.
Introducing the Defender for Endpoint Activation Sprint
A done-for-you deployment of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, onboarded across your fleet through Intune. We turn on EDR, configure attack surface reduction rules, enable threat and vulnerability management, and tune automated investigation — so threats are caught, prioritized, and contained.
What you get
- Real EDR on every device — behavior-based detection that sees the attacks antivirus misses, onboarded via Intune.
- One-click containment — isolate a compromised device from the network instantly.
- Attack surface reduction — ASR rules that block common attack techniques before they run.
- Know what to patch first — threat and vulnerability management ranks your real exposure by risk.
- Automated investigation — routine alerts triaged and remediated automatically, so your team focuses on what matters.
How it works
- Design. We plan onboarding, ASR rules, and policy tuned to your environment.
- Deploy. We onboard devices through Intune and configure EDR, ASR, TVM, and automated investigation.
- Tune & hand over. We tune detections to cut noise, document everything, and transfer knowledge.
Typically live in about 30 days.

Frequently asked questions
How is Defender for Endpoint different from regular antivirus?
Antivirus blocks known-bad files; Defender for Endpoint adds behavior-based detection and response, catching the subtle, fileless attacks signatures miss — and giving you a trail to investigate.
Do we deploy it through Intune?
Yes. We onboard devices via Intune, which keeps deployment consistent and policy-driven across your fleet.
Will it slow down our devices?
No. Defender for Endpoint is built into Windows and designed to run efficiently alongside normal use.
Can it help us prioritize patching?
Yes. Threat and vulnerability management ranks your exposures by real-world risk so you fix the dangerous ones first.
