40 laptops, zero visibility. EDR deployment for consulting firms — real-time endpoint monitoring, automated threat response, and centralized device management.
Your consultants work from client sites, airport lounges, and home offices. Their laptops hold client deliverables, financial models, and proprietary methodologies. And your COO has no idea what's running on any of them. No patch status. No software inventory. No way to know if a device has been compromised. We deploy endpoint detection that gives you real-time visibility into every device — and automated response that isolates threats before they spread.
Your team operates from client offices, co-working spaces, and hotels. Traditional perimeter security doesn't protect devices that never touch your corporate network.
Laptops contain strategy decks, financial models, client data, and competitive analysis. If a device is compromised, client confidentiality is breached — along with your firm's reputation.
Legacy antivirus catches known signatures but misses fileless attacks, credential theft, and living-off-the-land techniques. Your team believes they're protected — they're not.
Management Consulting Firm — Consulting: Deployed EDR across 42 consultant laptops — detected a credential harvesting attack within 72 hours of deployment. COO discovered they had no visibility into consultant devices after a client data inquiry. We deployed SentinelOne across all endpoints, tuned detection for consulting toolsets, and configured automated isolation. Within 72 hours, the system detected and contained a credential harvesting attempt on a partner's laptop connected to a hotel network.

Entirely remotely. We push EDR agents through your existing device management platform if you have one, or through a lightweight installer that consultants run themselves — it takes about five minutes and requires no technical knowledge. No physical access to the device is needed, and no VPN connection is required for the installation. Once the agent is installed, it phones home to the centralized management console regardless of which network the device is connected to — whether that's a client office, a hotel, an airport, or a home network. We've deployed across firms with consultants in multiple countries without ever touching a single device physically.
No. Modern EDR agents are specifically engineered for professional workstations running resource-intensive applications like financial modeling, data analysis, and presentation software. They typically consume 1-3% of CPU and minimal memory — well below the threshold where any user would notice a performance difference. The behavioral detection runs passively in the background, monitoring system activity without actively scanning files in a way that would interrupt workflows. We also tune detection policies during the first two weeks after deployment to ensure that legitimate consulting tools and processes aren't generating unnecessary overhead from false-positive investigations. Your consultants genuinely won't know the agent is there unless it catches something.
The device is automatically isolated from the network to prevent the threat from spreading, but it remains functional for the user's local work — they can still access files on the device, they just can't transmit data over the network until the situation is resolved. Simultaneously, your IT contact receives an alert with full investigation context including what was detected, the severity assessment, and recommended next steps. If the detection is a confirmed threat, we guide your team through containment and remediation remotely. If it turns out to be a false positive triggered by a legitimate tool, we release the device from isolation remotely and tune the detection policy to prevent recurrence. The entire process typically resolves within 30 minutes.
Yes, the visibility dashboard provides real-time patch compliance data for every managed device in your fleet. You can filter the view by individual consultant, operating system version, specific critical patches, and overall compliance status — giving your COO and IT lead the oversight they need to make informed decisions. The dashboard also highlights devices that haven't checked in recently, which might indicate a consultant with a machine that's been offline or disconnected for an extended period. This visibility transforms endpoint management from a reactive guessing game into a proactive governance function where you can identify and remediate compliance gaps before they become security incidents.
No, and that's a deliberate part of how we design the deployment for consulting firms. We configure automated response actions for the most common threat scenarios — ransomware detection triggers immediate isolation, credential theft alerts lock the account, suspicious processes generate investigation tickets with context — so the system handles routine threats without human intervention. For your IT lead, we establish a simple triage workflow that guides them through investigating alerts that require human judgment. The process is documented step by step and doesn't require security expertise to follow. For firms that want 24/7 human analyst coverage watching alerts around the clock, we connect you with a managed SOC provider and handle the vendor relationship on your behalf.
We work primarily with SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint — the three platforms that consistently lead in independent detection evaluations and offer the management capabilities consulting firms need. Our recommendation depends on your firm's size, existing infrastructure, budget, and whether you need managed detection and response capabilities included in the platform license. For firms already invested in Microsoft 365, Defender for Endpoint often makes the most sense because it integrates natively with your existing identity and device management. For firms wanting best-of-breed detection independent of their email platform, SentinelOne and CrowdStrike offer more specialized capabilities. We assess your environment and recommend the best fit.
Most consulting firms achieve full endpoint coverage across all devices within 5 to 7 business days from the start of deployment. That timeline includes the initial device census to identify every endpoint that needs coverage, the agent deployment itself, and verification that every device is reporting into the centralized console. Policy tuning continues for approximately two weeks after deployment to optimize detection accuracy for your specific environment — reducing false positives from legitimate consulting tools and applications while maintaining strong detection for actual threats. By the end of the third week, you have fully deployed, properly tuned endpoint protection with a visibility dashboard your COO can access at any time.
