Endpoint protection
Managed antivirus and threat protection, monitored rather than installed and forgotten.
Endpoint Security in Omaha
Every Device Is a Way In
ECS protects endpoints with Microsoft Defender, blocks unapproved software with ThreatLocker, and manages the devices themselves through Intune, so the laptop in someone's car is not your weakest link.

Why Endpoints
The laptop leaves the building and takes your network with it
Work happens on devices that spend half their life outside your office, on home and hotel networks you do not control. The old model of a hard perimeter and a soft interior does not describe that at all.
Meanwhile ransomware still mostly arrives as a program that someone, or something, runs. The most reliable way to stop it is not to detect it faster but to not let unapproved programs execute in the first place.
What Is Covered
Protection, control, and visibility on every device
Application control
Only approved software runs. Unknown programs, including ransomware payloads, are blocked before execution.
Device management
Configuration, encryption, and policy enforced consistently through Intune.
Patching
Operating system and third-party updates applied on a schedule and verified.
Vulnerability visibility
Which devices are exposed to what, reviewed as part of regular security work.
Access control
Local admin rights kept in check, because most malware needs them.
What Runs It
The platforms behind the service
Endpoint protection and vulnerability data
Microsoft Defender
Antivirus, device risk, and incident data across Windows endpoints.
Application allowlisting and ringfencing
ThreatLocker
Unapproved software cannot run, and approved software is limited in what it may reach.
Device management
Microsoft Intune
Policy, encryption, and configuration applied to every enrolled device.
Detection and response
Huntress
Behavioural detection with a 24/7 SOC behind it, for what gets past prevention.
Do you know how many devices touch your data?
Most businesses are surprised by the number, and by which ones are unmanaged.
Start the ConversationHow It Works
Getting to a managed fleet
Inventory
Find every device, including the ones nobody remembers. Unmanaged machines are the ones that cause incidents.
Enrol
Devices come under management, with protection, encryption, and policy applied consistently.
Learn
Application control runs in learning mode first, so we allow the software your business actually uses before anything is enforced.
Enforce and maintain
Policy goes to enforcement, patches run on schedule, and new software requests go through a process rather than a workaround.
What You Get
What changes once this is running
Ransomware loses its usual path
An unapproved executable does not run, whatever clever thing delivered it.
Consistency across the fleet
Every device configured the same way, instead of each one being its own story.
Answers for auditors
Encryption, patch status, and protection coverage, reportable per device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Instead of blocking software known to be bad, allowlisting permits only software you have approved and blocks everything else by default. It is the single most effective control against ransomware, because ransomware is always an unapproved program.
Not if it is rolled out properly. It runs in learning mode first so we can see and approve what your business genuinely uses, and new requests are handled quickly once it is enforcing. The failure mode to avoid is switching it on cold, which we do not do.
They do different jobs. Defender decides whether something looks malicious; ThreatLocker decides whether it is allowed to run at all. Together they cover both known and unknown threats, which is why we deploy both.
Intune manages Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, so policy and encryption extend to them. Protection coverage varies by platform, and we will tell you exactly what applies where rather than implying everything is equal.
That is a policy decision before it is a technical one. We help you decide what personal devices may access, then enforce it, usually by protecting the Microsoft 365 data rather than taking over someone's phone.
Get Started
Start with what is actually on your network.
An assessment inventories your devices and shows which are unmanaged, unpatched, or unprotected.
