Endpoint detection
Agents on laptops, desktops, and servers watching for persistence, privilege abuse, and ransomware behaviour.
Managed Detection and Response in Omaha
Someone Is Watching Your Environment at 3am
ECS runs managed detection and response on endpoints and Microsoft 365 for Omaha businesses, backed by the Huntress 24/7 security operations center. When something fires, we respond, isolate, and clean up.

Why Antivirus Is Not Enough
Most breaches do not look like malware
Attackers increasingly log in rather than break in. They use a stolen password, a valid session token, or a tool already installed on the machine, and antivirus sees nothing wrong because nothing technically is. The activity only looks wrong in context: an account signing in from somewhere new, a persistence mechanism added overnight, a mailbox rule forwarding invoices to an outside address.
Catching that requires someone looking at the behaviour, not just the file. It also requires someone awake. Attacks land on Friday evening and over holidays on purpose, because that is when the gap between "detected" and "someone did something about it" is longest.
What Is Covered
Detection, and the response that has to follow it
Microsoft 365 detection
Identity and mailbox monitoring for suspicious sign-ins, forwarding rules, and session hijacking.
24/7 SOC review
Detections are triaged by analysts before they reach you, so you get findings rather than alert noise.
Response and cleanup
ECS isolates affected devices, removes persistence, resets what needs resetting, and tells you what happened.
Incident reporting
A written account of what was found and what was done, which is what an insurer or auditor asks for.
Tuning over time
False positives get tuned out so the signal stays worth reading.
What Runs It
The platforms behind the service
Managed by ECS, not handed to you with a login and a good-luck.
Managed detection and response
Huntress
Endpoint and Microsoft 365 detection, reviewed by the Huntress 24/7 security operations center.
Endpoint protection
Microsoft Defender
Antivirus and device vulnerability data that ECS reviews alongside detections.
Application allowlisting
ThreatLocker
Unapproved programs are blocked before they execute, which removes a whole class of detection from happening at all.
Not sure what is already running in your environment?
A security assessment finds what is deployed, what is lapsed, and what is watching nothing.
Start the ConversationHow It Works
From deployment to steady state
Deploy
Agents go out across endpoints and servers, and Microsoft 365 monitoring is connected. No reimaging, no downtime.
Baseline
We work through what the first wave of detections finds. Most environments surface something on day one, usually dormant persistence or a forgotten account.
Monitor
The SOC reviews detections 24/7. Anything real comes to ECS with the analysis already done.
Respond
ECS isolates, cleans up, and reports. You hear from a person, not a dashboard notification.
What You Get
What changes once this is running
Nights and weekends covered
The hours attackers prefer are the hours you were least covered.
Insurance questions answered
Carriers ask whether you run EDR or MDR. This is the control they are asking about.
Less time lost to false alarms
Analysts filter the noise, so your team is not chasing benign alerts.
Frequently Asked Questions
MDR combines detection software on your devices and accounts with people who review what it finds and act on it. The distinction from antivirus is that MDR looks for attacker behaviour rather than known-bad files, and that a human reviews detections instead of leaving them in a console for someone to notice.
Antivirus blocks known malware. EDR records endpoint behaviour and surfaces suspicious activity, but still needs someone to interpret it. MDR is EDR plus that someone. With ECS, detections are triaged by the Huntress 24/7 SOC and acted on by our team.
The Huntress security operations center reviews the detection and, where the situation calls for it, isolates the affected host immediately. ECS picks it up from there, handles cleanup, and tells you what happened and what it means.
Both. Identity and mailbox attacks are now at least as common as endpoint attacks, so Microsoft 365 monitoring covers suspicious sign-ins, mailbox forwarding rules, and session theft alongside the endpoint agents.
The agents are lightweight and run alongside Microsoft Defender rather than replacing it. If a machine is already struggling, that usually turns out to be an age or configuration problem, which we will tell you about rather than blaming the agent.
