Endpoint and server protection with EDR and XDR
Most attacks start on one employee's computer: an attachment, a link in an email or a leaked password. An EDR solution detects suspicious behavior on computers and servers, responds to it automatically, and shows exactly what happened. We choose a leading EDR solution that fits your business, deploy it in an orderly way and tune it so it really protects.
Elad personally oversees every project and makes sure it runs at the highest standard, from the first review to handover.
Why antivirus is no longer enough
Traditional antivirus looks for malicious files it already knows. But attackers today use new tools, change their code constantly, and often use no malicious file at all: they log in with a stolen password and use the legitimate tools already on the computer. An EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution works differently. It follows the behavior of processes on every computer and server, detects attack patterns such as sudden file encryption or attempts to steal passwords, and can stop the process and isolate the computer from the network. XDR widens the picture and brings together information from endpoints, email, identities and the network in one place.
The tool alone is not enough. An EDR solution installed with default settings, whose alerts nobody looks at, gives a sense of security but not protection. We choose with you a leading solution that fits the size of the business and the environment, deploy it gradually across all endpoints and servers, define an automatic response policy, tune exclusions so it does not get in the way of work, and harden the endpoints themselves. That way protection is part of the information security of the whole business, rather than standing alone.
When should you deal with endpoint protection?
If one of these sounds familiar, it is time to review how your computers and servers are protected.
Only basic antivirus
The computers run a free or outdated antivirus that only detects known threats.
Employees at home and in the field
Laptops work outside the office, and there is no way to see what happens on them or respond when something is suspicious.
Concern about ransomware
A ransomware attack starts on one computer and spreads. Early detection is the difference between a problem on one machine and a business shutdown.
No idea what happened
There was a suspicious event, and no information about what ran on the computer, where it came from or where it spread.
Cyber insurance or a customer requires it
Cyber insurance, a supplier questionnaire or ISO 27001 requires EDR protection on endpoints and servers.
A tool installed and forgotten
There is a protection solution, but it runs on default settings, some computers are not covered, and nobody checks the alerts.
Protection chosen, deployed and tuned for your business
We start by reviewing the current state, and build a plan that fits the business.
Current state review
Mapping every endpoint and server, what is installed on them today, and which devices are not protected at all.
Deliverable: coverage mapChoosing a leading solution
Choosing an EDR or XDR solution that fits the size of the business, the environment and the budget, without paying for features you will not use.
Deliverable: reasoned recommendationGradual deployment
Installation in stages, from a test group to all endpoints and servers, including computers that work outside the office.
Deliverable: full endpoint coverageAutomatic response policy
Defining what the system does when it detects a threat: stopping the process, quarantining files and isolating the computer from the network.
Deliverable: active protection policyTuning exclusions
Adapting to the systems and software the business works with, to reduce false alerts without opening gaps.
Deliverable: tuned policyEndpoint hardening
System updates, reducing local admin rights, disk encryption and turning off unnecessary services.
Deliverable: hardened endpointsProtecting computers outside the office
Laptops are protected and report even when they are at home, in the field or abroad.
Deliverable: protection everywhereAlerts and reporting
Setting alerts to the right people, and a report showing the protection status and the events detected.
Deliverable: protection status reportOngoing support and alert handling
With ongoing support we review alerts, handle them and update the policy as the business changes.
Deliverable: periodic reportHow it works
Four stages, with a gradual deployment that lets each step be checked.
1. Introduction and review
We learn how the business works, which computers and servers it has, and what is installed on them today.
2. Selection and design
Choosing the solution, designing the policy and the deployment order, approved with you before we start.
3. Deployment and tuning
We install in stages, start with a test group, and tune exclusions before extending to the whole organization.
4. Handover and training
You receive a full status report, and whoever needs it on your side gets training on the console and the alerts.
What stays with you at the end
Everything belongs to you, so your IT provider can carry on from the same point.
- A coverage map of all endpoints and servers.
- A documented protection and response policy.
- A list of exclusions, with the reason for each.
- A summary of endpoint hardening.
- A protection status report at the end of deployment.
- A short procedure: what to do when an alert arrives.
Protection tuned to your business, with personal oversight
Elad Elimelech, founder of Marom Cyber, brings 20 years of technology experience, most of them in management roles. In recent years he led technology strategy in information security and management at companies serving hundreds of organizations in high tech, finance and healthcare. He defined information security standards at the highest level and was the go-to authority for the most complex technology challenges across those organizations. When standard solutions were not enough, he led the solution.

A view of all of information security
Endpoint protection is designed together with Microsoft 365, the firewall, backups and compliance requirements, so everything works as one system.
Recommendations based on need
The recommendation is based on what fits your business, not on a particular vendor.
