Endpoint Controls

Securing every laptop, phone, and server your people actually use — because this is usually where the real damage happens, not at the network edge.

Why it matters

Perimeter and network controls slow an attack down. Endpoint controls stop it.

Ransomware runs on a device. Credentials get stolen from a device. By the time an attacker is interacting with an endpoint, every other layer has already been bypassed — which makes this the layer that most often determines whether an incident becomes a headline or a non-event.

It's also the layer most likely to have silent gaps: a contractor's laptop, a server nobody remembers provisioning, a device that was supposed to get the agent installed during onboarding and didn't.

What this includes

What this typically includes

  • Real-time detection and response on every device — endpoint detection and response (EDR) or extended detection and response (XDR).
  • Fast isolation of a compromised device before an incident spreads to the rest of the network.
  • Full visibility into what's actually running across your device fleet, including the devices nobody remembers about.
  • Alert tuning so your team responds to what matters, instead of drowning in noise.
How we deliver this

How we approach it

We implement and operate CrowdStrike Falcon and SentinelOne Singularity, choosing between them — or running both, depending on the environment — based on your existing stack and what you're trying to protect.

Deployment is only half the job. We spend real time tuning detection policies after go-live, because an EDR platform that floods your team with low-value alerts gets ignored within a month, and an ignored alert is the same as no alert at all.

We are an authorized implementation partner for both CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, which gives us room to recommend whichever fits your environment — not whichever we're contractually pushed toward.
Self-check

You may have a gap here if…

  • You can't say, today, exactly how many endpoints are unprotected.
  • EDR alerts go to an inbox or dashboard nobody actively monitors.
  • Contractor or BYOD devices aren't covered by the same controls as company-issued ones.
  • Detection policies haven't been reviewed since the day the platform was deployed.
