A new layer of around-the-clock monitoring and zero-trust protection, built in direct response to the more advanced attacks we're seeing today.
As ransomware attacks have grown more sophisticated across the industry — some now capable of reaching as deep as the hypervisor layer to cripple virtual machines and the backups attached to them — we've added two new layers of protection to stay ahead of that shift. They're built to stop an attack long before it could ever test the recovery process that's never let a client down.
Antivirus alone can't catch everything — modern attacks move fast, and by the time software-only tools notice something's wrong, the damage is often already done. MDR adds a live layer of always-on human monitoring on top of your defenses, watching your endpoints, Microsoft 365 environment, and firewalls around the clock, and stepping in the moment something looks wrong.
This isn't monitored by our team alone. Our MDR service is backed by a dedicated security operations partner — a global security operation with thousands of security professionals working around the clock, not a handful of screens in one office. Incoming activity from your servers and workstations is first filtered through AI-driven triage that strips out noise and false positives at machine speed, so that only validated, real threats ever reach a human analyst. From there, a live team is standing by 24/7/365 to take direct action the moment it's needed — isolating a device, locking an account, revoking a session — with a phone line open if a situation calls for it. It's the kind of always-on coverage no single internal team, ours or anyone else's, could staff alone.
Traditional security asks "is this bad?" and tries to block what it recognizes as a threat — which means anything it's never seen before gets a free pass. Zero trust flips that question: nothing runs on your servers or workstations unless it's been explicitly allowed. It's a fundamentally harder environment for an attacker to operate in, even after they're already inside.
Attacks have gotten more sophisticated, and the businesses we protect have gotten more dependent on the systems we manage for them. AI has raised the stakes further — attackers are now using it to probe for weaknesses, write more convincing phishing attempts, and move through a compromised network faster than ever, which means the threat level facing every business has escalated, not just the sophisticated targets. We've always built our approach around recovery — because you can't prevent everything. MDR and Zero Trust Endpoint Protection are how we're raising the bar on prevention, without ever losing sight of the fact that recovery is what protects you when prevention isn't enough.
If you're an existing ADS client and want to know whether MDR and Zero Trust Endpoint Protection are already part of your service, or how to add them, we'll walk you through it.
