Managed Antivirus & EDR
Endpoint protection beyond signature-based antivirus. Modern EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) catches what traditional AV misses — fileless attacks, behavioral anomalies, ransomware staging — with 24/7 active response, not just alerts.
- ✓ EDR-class detection
- ✓ 24/7 active response
- ✓ Behavioral analysis
- ✓ Cyber insurance ready

Signature-Based Antivirus Was Built for a Different Era
Modern attacks are fileless, polymorphic, or living-off-the-land. Traditional antivirus signatures don’t catch them.
Signature-based antivirus is obsolete
Modern attacks are fileless, polymorphic, or living-off-the-land. Signatures only catch what’s been seen before — which isn’t today’s attacks.
Without response, detection is incomplete
Detecting an attack at 3am isn’t useful unless someone responds at 3am. EDR + 24/7 response is the model that actually stops breaches.
EDR generates noise without tuning
An untuned EDR creates 1,000 alerts a day that no one reviews. A tuned and monitored one creates 10 actionable ones — the difference is operations, not the product.
Endpoints are the front line
Workstations and laptops are where most attacks land first. They need real protection, not just AV that hasn’t evolved in a decade.
Cyber insurance now requires EDR
Most cyber policies now explicitly require documented EDR (not just antivirus) or won’t underwrite or renew. The market has moved.
Patching gaps mean exposure
Zero-day exploits hit before patches exist. EDR catches behavior — what an exploit does, not just what it is — so you’re protected even when patches aren’t available yet.
EDR Deployment, Tuning, and 24/7 Response
Six capabilities covering the deployment, monitoring, response, and reporting workflow around modern endpoint protection.
EDR Deployment & Tuning
Modern EDR deployed across all endpoints — Windows, macOS, Linux — with policies tuned for your environment, not generic out-of-the-box.
Learn more →24/7 Threat Hunting
Active hunting by analysts, not just passive monitoring of dashboards. We look for what attackers do, not just what tools alert on.
Learn more →Automated Response
Isolate infected endpoints, kill malicious processes, roll back changes — automatic action in seconds, not human-paced minutes.
Learn more →Behavioral Analysis
Detect anomalies, fileless attacks, lateral movement, and credential theft — what attackers do, not just what they leave behind.
Learn more →Threat Intelligence
Block known-bad IPs, file hashes, and IOCs from current attack campaigns using continuously updated threat feeds.
Learn more →Detailed Reporting
Threat trends, response time metrics, posture scoring, and compliance evidence — everything auditors and insurers ask for.
Learn more →One Hire vs. an Entire Bench.
Hiring a single in-house IT person costs roughly the same as a full Datastrive managed support agreement — but a single person can’t cover 24/7, can’t be a senior network engineer and a cybersecurity specialist and a vCIO at the same time, and goes on vacation. Managed IT support gives you depth, redundancy, and predictable cost without the recruiting risk.
