Advanced Security + EDR

Advanced Security + EDR

Overview

Advanced Security with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) provides comprehensive protection against modern cyber threats. Built on Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, this solution combines next-generation antivirus, behavioral detection, exploit prevention, and advanced EDR capabilities to detect, investigate, and respond to sophisticated attacks in real-time.

Key Features

  • Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) - Machine learning-based threat detection that identifies known and unknown malware, including zero-day threats

  • Behavioral Detection - Monitors process behavior to identify suspicious activities and ransomware patterns before damage occurs

  • Exploit Prevention - Blocks exploitation techniques targeting vulnerabilities in applications and operating systems

  • Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) - Advanced threat hunting, forensic analysis, and automated response capabilities

  • URL Filtering - Prevents access to malicious websites and phishing attempts

  • Vulnerability Assessment - Continuous scanning for security weaknesses and missing patches

  • Forensic Investigation Tools - Detailed attack timelines, root cause analysis, and threat intelligence integration

  • Automated Response Actions - Quarantine infected files, isolate compromised endpoints, and rollback malicious changes

Soteria Cloud Advantage

Soteria Cloud delivers Advanced Security + EDR through secure, locally-hosted infrastructure in South Africa:

  • Teraco Johannesburg & Cape Town Data Centers - Your security telemetry and threat intelligence data remains within South African borders, ensuring POPIA compliance and data sovereignty

  • Low-Latency Protection - Real-time threat detection and response with minimal latency to South African endpoints

  • 24/7 Local Support - Expert security analysts available in your timezone to assist with threat investigations and incident response

  • Integrated Backup Protection - Security and backup work together seamlessly, enabling instant recovery from ransomware attacks

How It Works

1. Deployment - Lightweight agents are deployed to Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android endpoints through the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud console.

2. Continuous Monitoring - Agents monitor file operations, process behavior, network connections, and system changes in real-time.

3. Threat Detection - Multiple detection engines (signature-based, heuristic, behavioral, ML-based) analyze activities to identify threats.

4. Automated Response - When threats are detected, the system automatically quarantines malware, blocks malicious processes, and can isolate infected endpoints.

5. Investigation & Remediation - Security teams use EDR tools to investigate incidents, understand attack chains, and implement remediation strategies.

6. Recovery - If data is compromised, integrated backup capabilities enable rapid recovery to pre-attack states.

Use Cases

  • Protecting remote and hybrid workforces from advanced persistent threats (APTs)

  • Meeting cyber insurance requirements for EDR and behavioral detection

  • Detecting and responding to ransomware before encryption occurs

  • Investigating security incidents with forensic-level detail

  • Maintaining compliance with security frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, CIS)
