Endpoint Protection · Los Angeles, CA
Next-generation antivirus with endpoint detection and response on every laptop, desktop, server, and phone, plus patching and encryption, managed by a team that acts on alerts.
Quick answer
Endpoint protection secures the devices your team uses (laptops, desktops, servers, and phones) against malware, ransomware, and attackers. Modern endpoint protection combines next-generation antivirus with endpoint detection and response (EDR), which watches for suspicious behavior, stops it, and isolates the device.
Los Angeles IT provides managed endpoint protection and EDR for Los Angeles businesses from our Century City headquarters. We deploy, monitor, and maintain it on every device, along with patching and encryption. It's included in our managed IT plans starting at $300/month, with licensing quoted per device; projects are $95 per hour.
What's Included
Every device is a door into your network. We lock each one down and watch for anything that gets through.
Endpoint detection and response on every computer and server, watching behavior to stop ransomware and attacker tools that signature antivirus misses.
Managed EDR →/ 02Business-grade antivirus and anti-malware with cloud management, replacing consumer products and the free tools that came with the PC.
Antivirus →/ 03When a device shows signs of compromise, it's cut off from the network automatically so the threat can't spread to servers or shared files.
Incident response →/ 04Windows, macOS, browsers, and third-party apps updated on a schedule, with critical security patches pushed quickly.
Managed security →/ 05BitLocker and FileVault enabled and keys escrowed, so a lost or stolen laptop doesn't become a data breach.
Encryption →/ 06USB storage policies, local admin rights removed, and secure baseline settings applied to every device.
Hardening →/ 07Company and personal phones and tablets enrolled, with passcodes, encryption, and remote wipe for lost devices.
Microsoft Intune →/ 08The same protection follows laptops home and on the road, managed from the cloud without needing the office network.
Remote security →/ 09Laptops and desktops backed up automatically so a failed drive or ransomware doesn't mean lost work.
Backup & recovery →Antivirus vs. EDR
Antivirus alone is no longer enough. Here's what changes with managed endpoint detection and response.
| Managed EDR | Traditional antivirus | |
|---|---|---|
| How it detects | Behavior and known threats | Known malware signatures |
| New ransomware | ✓ Stops suspicious behavior | Often missed until updated |
| Attacker tools (PowerShell, remote tools) | ✓ Flags misuse | Usually allowed |
| Response | ✓ Isolates device, stops the process | Quarantines the file |
| Visibility | ✓ Full timeline of what happened | Minimal |
| Who watches alerts | ✓ Our team | Usually no one |
How It Works
Rollouts happen in the background. Most employees never notice anything except fewer pop-ups.
STEP 01
We find every computer, server, and mobile device, including ones no one remembers, and check what's protecting them today.
STEP 02
We remove old antivirus, install EDR and management agents remotely, and apply security policies.
STEP 03
Patching, disk encryption, local admin removal, and USB policies are rolled out in stages.
STEP 04
Alerts are reviewed by our team, threats are contained, and you get regular reports on device health.
Pricing
Endpoint protection is priced per device. EDR and antivirus licensing is quoted up front, and deployment, monitoring, patching, and alert response are included in our managed IT services, starting at $300 per month.
If you only need a one-time rollout, such as replacing an expired antivirus product or deploying EDR before a cyber insurance renewal, project work is $95 per hour with no contract.

Tell us how many computers, servers, and phones you have and what's protecting them today. We'll recommend the right protection and quote it. No contracts.
Ransomware Defense
Ransomware usually arrives through a phishing email or a stolen remote access password, then spreads from one computer to file servers and backups. EDR watches for the behaviors that come before encryption, such as mass file changes, credential theft, and disabling security tools, and stops the process before damage spreads.
When a device is compromised, it's isolated from the network automatically while our team investigates. Paired with immutable backups and a tested incident response plan, a single infected laptop stays a small problem.
Remote & Hybrid Work
Laptops spend much of their time on home Wi-Fi, coffee shop networks, and hotel connections, outside the protection of your office firewall. Cloud-managed endpoint protection keeps every device updated, monitored, and enforceable wherever it is.
We combine EDR with disk encryption, MFA, and secure remote access, and manage company phones with mobile device management, so a lost device can be locked or wiped remotely.
Compliance & Insurance
Cyber insurers now commonly ask whether you run EDR on all endpoints, and regulations like HIPAA and PCI DSS expect malware protection, encryption, and patching on systems that handle sensitive data.
We provide device inventories, coverage reports, and encryption status you can use for insurance applications and audits. See our IT compliance services for the full program.

FAQ
Endpoint protection secures laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices against malware, ransomware, and attackers, usually by combining next-generation antivirus with endpoint detection and response (EDR).
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) monitors device behavior for signs of attack, stops malicious processes, isolates compromised devices, and records a timeline of what happened for investigation.
Microsoft Defender is a solid foundation, especially with Microsoft 365 Business Premium, but it needs to be configured, centrally managed, and monitored. Unmanaged, alerts often go unnoticed. We manage Defender or a dedicated EDR product depending on your needs.
Licensing is priced per device and quoted up front. Deployment, monitoring, and patching are included in managed IT plans starting at $300 per month, and one-time projects are $95 per hour.
Antivirus mainly blocks known malware. EDR also detects suspicious behavior, such as ransomware encryption or misuse of legitimate tools, isolates the device, and gives visibility into the attack.
Modern EDR is lightweight and cloud-managed. Most users notice no difference, and removing old, overlapping antivirus products often makes computers faster.
Yes. We protect Windows and macOS computers, Windows servers, and manage company phones and tablets with mobile device management.
The malicious process is stopped and, if needed, the device is isolated from the network. Our team investigates, cleans or reimages the device, and restores files from backup if anything was affected.
Yes. Endpoint protection, patching, and encryption are cloud-managed, so laptops are protected and updated wherever they connect.
Many cyber insurance applications now ask whether EDR is deployed on all endpoints. We can deploy it and provide coverage reports for your application.
Yes. We remove the old product cleanly, deploy the new protection remotely, and verify every device is covered.
Endpoint protection is managed remotely across Southern California, with onsite help in Los Angeles County, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego County.
