Advanced Protection for Your Users and Devices
Cyber threats have changed and are evolving rapidly. Many modern attacks no longer rely on traditional malware. Instead, they target user accounts, exploit trusted access, and operate in ways that can bypass standard antivirus solutions entirely. At Cortec IT, we’re continually reviewing how we protect our clients. As part of that, we’re introducing two advanced security services designed to strengthen both device and identity protection.
Introducing Our Latest Security Enhancements
Powered by Huntress
- These services are delivered through Huntress, a leading security platform backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC).
- Their team actively monitor, investigates, and responds to potential threats in real time, providing an additional layer of protection beyond traditional tools.
- Huntress also delivers industry-leading response times, typically responding within minutes to confirmed threats, helping to stop incidents before they escalate.
What Are the New Services?
Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)
ITDR focuses on protecting your Microsoft 365 accounts and user identities.
Today’s attackers often target login credentials or session tokens rather than devices themselves. This allows them to gain access without triggering traditional security alerts.
ITDR helps to:
- Detect suspicious or unusual login activity
- Identify signs of account compromise
- Respond quickly to prevent unauthorised access
This is particularly important as identity-based attacks continue to rise.
Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
MDR enhances protection across your devices, including PCs, laptops, and servers.
Unlike traditional antivirus, MDR monitors behaviour and fileless activity in real time, allowing it to detect advanced threats that don’t rely on known malware.
With MDR in place:
- Suspicious activity is identified early
- Threats can be investigated and contained quickly
- Devices can be isolated if needed to prevent spread
Why This Matters
Traditional security tools are no longer enough on their own.
Modern attacks are:
- More sophisticated
- Harder to detect
- Often focused on user accounts rather than devices
By combining identity and endpoint protection with 24/7 monitoring, these services provide a much stronger security posture, helping to reduce the risk of downtime, data breaches, and financial impact.
Who Are These Services For?
These services are particularly valuable for organisations that:
- Rely on Microsoft 365 for email and collaboration
- Handle sensitive data
- Want greater visibility and faster response to potential threats
- Don’t have access to a dedicated in-house security team
Try It for Yourself
For our existing IT support clients, we’re offering the opportunity to trial these services and see the protection in action within your own environment. We highly recommend these services as part of a modern security approach built to detect, respond to, and stop threats in real time.
If you’re an existing client, get in touch with us today to arrange your free trial.
