Managed Endpoint Security That Works With the EDR Agent You Already Run

24/7 human-led detection and response on your endpoints, run by our Agentic AI SOC on the EDR you already own — CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender. No rip-and-replace, no second agent and no vendor-lock, with one managed service in place of fragmented antivirus and unmanaged EDR licenses.

The challenges

You already bought the endpoint tool. Nobody is operating it.

Most teams do not have an endpoint detection problem. They have an endpoint response problem — alerts nobody triages, agents nobody tunes, and no cover at 3 a.m. That gap is what managed endpoint security closes.

Alerts nobody is correlating

Your EDR, your antivirus and your cloud tools each raise alerts in their own console, with nothing merging them into one prioritized queue.

No unified evidence trail when the auditor asks

SOC 2, ISO 27001 and CIS v8 all expect demonstrable endpoint monitoring. Exporting screenshots from three consoles the week before an audit is not evidence.

Containment that waits for business hours

A compromised laptop at 2 a.m. stays compromised until someone logs in. Detection without response just means the dwell-time clock keeps running.

Too many agents on a fragmented fleet

Different endpoint agents across Windows, macOS, servers and contractor devices, each with its own console, policy model and update cycle to babysit.

No 24/7 cover for after-hours endpoint alerts

A lean IT team cannot run a follow-the-sun rota. Nights, weekends and holidays are exactly when endpoint attacks land.

Locked into one EDR vendor's license

Providers that force their own agent to write off the endpoint investment you already made and make leaving expensive later.

The clear picture

Managed endpoint security, and where managed EDR fits

Managed endpoint security is a fully managed service in which an external security team runs detection and response on your endpoints — laptops, desktops and servers — around the clock. Managed EDR is its core. Your EDR tool provides the telemetry. A 24/7 SOC does what the tool cannot do alone: triage alerts, dismiss false positives, investigate real intrusions and contain them. The software detects. The team responds.

Put plainly, managed endpoint detection and response exists because EDR software is not a finished product. An EDR agent will faithfully raise thousands of signals a month. Deciding which forty matter, and which three are a live intrusion, is a staffing problem. It is not a tooling one. That is the gap managed EDR fills. Our analysts operate the endpoint tooling you already own and tune its detections to your environment. Then they take the containment action: isolating a host, killing a process, disabling an account. You get the outcome, not a ticket.

Managed antivirus stops what it already recognizes. Managed EDR catches the behavior it has never seen before — and puts someone on it. If you need that same coverage beyond the endpoint, that is managed detection and response. For the tool-level definition on its own, see what is EDR.

Why UnderDefense

Built to fit the endpoint stack you already bought

Managed endpoint protection only pays off when it works with the tooling you already own, and when somebody is actually operating it. Six things you can verify about our endpoint security services before you sign.

Your EDR agent stays. We operate it.

CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender — we run detection and response on the agent already deployed across your fleet. No second agent, no rip-and-replace, no re-imaging.

250+ integrations

We resolve alerts, we don't forward them

Our Agentic AI SOC gathers the context automatically; our analysts make the call and take the containment action on the endpoint.

~2 min alert-to-triage

24/7 cover your team cannot staff

A round-the-clock SOC with a 15-minute critical-incident escalation, so the 2 a.m. laptop does not wait for the 9 a.m. standup.

24/7 coverage

One evidence trail instead of three consoles

Endpoint monitoring and response activity mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001 and CIS v8, produced continuously rather than assembled the week before an audit.

12+ frameworks

Detection tuned to your fleet, not a default ruleset

We tune the policies on your existing tooling to your actual environment — contractor laptops, servers, mixed OS — instead of shipping one generic policy.

99% MITRE ATT&CK coverage

Consolidation, not another line item

One managed service absorbing fragmented antivirus and unmanaged EDR licenses, staffed by our own engineers rather than a subcontracted SOC.

What our customers say

Matthew Sciberras

"We fully automated T1-T2 manual triage with UnderDefense. AI SOC filters the noise so my team can focus on complex hunt missions and strategic security. We scaled our capacity 10x overnight, not by hiring, but by making our analysts investigators again."

Matthew Sciberras CISO at Invicti Security
Travis Farral

"Zero ransomware cases and a 2-minute triage SLA. Agentic AI mapped our VIPs and high-value assets with surgical precision. It transformed how our board views security, shifting from a cost center to a strategic enabler of business resilience."

Works with your existing agent
We run managed detection and response on the EDR you already deployed — CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender. Huntress states plainly that it does not rely on other vendors’ EDR tools and requires its own agent; CrowdStrike’s managed service runs on Falcon. Keeping your agent means no re-imaging and no write-off of the license you already bought.

On the agent already deployed
Because we operate the agent already on your fleet, coverage starts without a deployment project. Providers that require their own agent start the clock with a rollout across every device.

Falcon-centric
EDR-centric
250+ integrations
Vendor-agnostic across 250+ integrations, with no rip and replace. CrowdStrike leans on its Falcon ecosystem and Huntress is endpoint/EDR-centric, so coverage outside the core can be thinner.
Defined response SLA
~2-min triage, 15-min escalation
A defined ~2-minute alert-to-triage, with a 15-minute critical-incident escalation. Most rivals publish no comparable containment SLA, so the clock you are sold can mean very different things.

MAXI AI SOC
Human analysts paired with the MAXI agentic AI platform, which auto-triages T1 to T2 alerts on the endpoint. Your experts spend their time on real investigations instead of clearing a queue, while most providers still run fully manual triage.

12+ frameworks
Endpoint monitoring and response activity mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS v8 and 9 more frameworks, produced continuously. Most rivals leave compliance evidence to a separate platform or service.
