Antivirus is dead. EDR is what you actually need.
Traditional antivirus looks for known threats. EDR watches how software behaves, catching novel ransomware, fileless attacks, and zero-day exploits before they detonate. Included as standard with every KAVIX engagement.
Signature-based antivirus compares files against a database of known threats. The problem: attackers stopped using known threats. Today's malware is novel, polymorphic, and fileless, built to slip past tools that are still looking for yesterday's attacks.
Two-thirds of malware deployed in real attacks has never been seen before, which leaves signature detection blind.
Without behavioural detection, attackers operate inside your network for days, moving laterally, escalating privileges, and exfiltrating data.
When EDR detects a threat, automated containment isolates the device from the network in under a minute, before lateral movement begins.
EDR doesn't ask "have I seen this file before?" It asks "is this software behaving like malware?" That distinction is what catches the attacks that antivirus misses.
Fileless malware, which executes entirely in memory and writes nothing to disk, stays invisible to signature-based tools. Living-off-the-land attacks, which hijack legitimate Windows processes like PowerShell and WMI, look identical to normal system activity. EDR's behavioural engine sees both.
Every KAVIX client runs EDR across all endpoints, managed, monitored, and tuned by our team. No additional configuration required from your side.
Endpoint protection varies by tier. Here is what each one gets you, and why antivirus alone no longer holds up.
Detection without response is just an alarm. Every EDR alert triggers an automated and human response, from detection to resolution.
The EDR behavioural engine identifies an anomaly: a process behaving like ransomware, a script executing from an unusual location, or a lateral movement attempt. Alert generated in milliseconds.
The affected device is isolated from the network at once, cutting off lateral movement and stopping the threat from spreading to other machines or shared drives. Takes under one minute.
The KAVIX team is alerted immediately. A qualified engineer reviews the forensic telemetry, assesses the threat, and determines the remediation path, keeping you informed throughout.
The threat is neutralised, the endpoint restored to a clean state, and a full incident report delivered to you, covering what happened, how it was stopped, and what (if anything) needs to change.
EDR is included in every KAVIX managed service. Book a discovery call and we'll talk through your current endpoint protection and where the gaps are.
