PROTECT · Security · Endpoint Security

Free antivirus isn't enough anymore. Modern threats need managed EDR.

Managed endpoint security for PC, Mac, and mobile devices. Bitdefender GravityZone, Microsoft Defender for Business, or Malwarebytes ThreatDown. Rollout, monitoring, threat response, patching. Central console for IT + Media Express NOC watching your endpoints 24/7.

⚜ Plain English
Endpoint Security = modern managed antivirus + threat detection + response on every PC, Mac, and mobile device your team uses. Modern attackers use fileless malware, living-off-the-land binaries, and social engineering that free Windows Defender or consumer antivirus miss. Modern EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) sees behavior patterns, isolates infected machines, and lets Media Express NOC respond within minutes — not hours. Central console for IT. Compliance-friendly reporting.

❓ Common Questions

FAQ.

Isn't Windows Defender free and included?

Windows Defender has improved dramatically but lacks central console, cross-platform coverage (no Mac/mobile), managed response, and compliance reporting. Fine for a home user; not fine for a business with regulatory or client obligations. Defender for Business (paid) fills those gaps.

What's the difference between AV and EDR?

AV (antivirus) matches known threats against a signature database. EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) watches behavior, tells you what an attacker did, and lets you respond by isolating machines. Modern EDR products still include AV, but add behavioral detection, forensics, and response capabilities.

Do you cover BYOD (bring your own device)?

Yes, with limitations. BYOD requires MDM (Mobile Device Management) alongside endpoint security. Media Express offers Intune / Jamf / Kandji integration for BYOD scenarios.

What if an endpoint gets ransomware?

Detection isolates it within seconds. NOC pages you and starts response within minutes. If ransomware executed before isolation, you restore from backups (see Backups service) — but modern EDR usually catches it before encryption completes.

Can you deploy without disrupting our team?

Yes. Silent installation via existing IT infrastructure. No user prompt, no reboot required (usually). We roll out in batches of 20-50 devices to catch any compatibility surprises.
