Why Endpoint Detection and Response Is a Must-Have  

The changing nature of today’s workplace—from remote setups to hybrid environments—has brought undeniable convenience and flexibility. However, it has also drastically expanded the attack surface for businesses of all kinds. Each laptop, PC, tablet, or mobile device that employees use carries the risk of being exploited by cybercriminals.  

This is where endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions step in as a critical layer of security. Unlike traditional antivirus software or firewalls that focus solely on prevention, EDR provides real-time monitoring, advanced detection capabilities, and rapid-response features designed to safeguard endpoints.  

Here’s why modern businesses simply can’t afford to go without EDR solutions: 

  • Unparalleled Visibility: Through continuous monitoring, EDR provides a granular view of endpoint activity, giving organizations the power to uncover even the most subtle malicious actions. 
  • Protection Against Advanced Threats: With behavior-based detection, EDR can identify zero-day vulnerabilities and threats that bypass traditional signature-based security methods. 
  • Quick Response: Minimize the impact of threats with EDR’s ability to provide immediate alerts, help with remediation steps, and even automatically isolate compromised systems from the network. 
  • Compliance Requirements: From GDPR to PCI DSS, many industry regulations now require advanced monitoring and remediation capabilities that are a staple of EDR solutions. 

Cybercriminals are evolving faster than the barriers protecting your business. Without robust EDR in your stack, you risk being a step behind.  

How Volta Managed EDR Fits Within Your Security Stack  

Volta Managed EDR is tailored to the needs of businesses that may not have large security teams or dedicated in-house resources. Within your security stack, EDR serves as a proactive layer complementing baseline tools like antivirus software and firewalls. Together, these tools form a multi-layered defense strategy to counteract the sophisticated tactics used by today’s hackers.  

Here’s how it works: 

Comprehensive Monitoring 

We partner with Huntress to provide and manage the tool that scans, monitors, and logs all endpoint activities, including logins, executed processes, or suspicious behavior. This provides unmatched transparency into system-level operations.  

AI and Expert Analysis in Action 

Huntress combines advanced machine learning with Volta’s human expertise to detect anomalies. The solution distinguishes noise from actual threats, ensuring only actionable alerts are brought to your attention.  

Immediate Threat Response 

Upon detecting malicious activity, the system can isolate infected endpoints, terminate harmful processes, or provide easy-to-follow guidance so you can resolve the issue with confidence.  

Key Benefits of Managed EDR Versus Self-Managed Solutions 

While self-managed EDR solutions provide direct control, they often demand significant time, expertise, and resources to be effective. Volta Managed EDR takes that stress off your plate. This service is built to catch what others miss and to act swiftly, without adding to your workload.  

Here’s why Volta Managed EDR stands out as the smarter alternative: 

  • 24/7 Expert Coverage 

Cybercriminals don’t clock out at 5 PM, and neither should your security solution. Volta provides dedicated, around-the-clock monitoring by a Security Operations Center (SOC) team, ensuring you’re protected even on weekends or holidays. 

  • Reduces Alert Fatigue 

Self-managed EDRs can generate an overwhelming number of notifications, many of which are false positives. By partnering with Volta, alerts are validated by our expert team, presenting only the most relevant threats. This keeps your focus on critical issues and reduces disruptions.  

  • Cost-Effective Security 

The costs required to build and maintain an in-house security team are often prohibitive. Huntress offers an enterprise-grade tool for protection at a fraction of those costs, and Volta implements ongoing management on a monthly, cost-efficient cadence. 

  • Proactive Threat Hunting 

Beyond reacting to alerts, this system actively hunts for lurking threats using behavioral analysis and expertise. This preemptive approach prevents threats before they escalate into full-blown incidents.  

  • Compliance-Friendly Features 

Detailed forensic and threat analysis reports can help you meet regulatory requirements with confidence, simplifying audits and maintaining compliance across various industry standards.  

  • Simplified Integration and Low Maintenance 

Huntress integrates seamlessly into existing tech stacks with minimal effort. Its intuitive user platform and support ensure businesses can focus on operations, not learning or configuring tools.  

Get Ahead of Cybercriminals with Managed EDR  

Securing your business is no longer optional. With an expanded attack surface and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, Volta Managed EDR offers a reliable, efficient, and expert-backed solution to protect endpoints wherever they are.  

From unparalleled endpoint visibility to proactive response capabilities, Volta empowers businesses of every size to remain confident amidst the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Why not stop playing defense and take these easy-button steps to secure your business’s future?
