Stop the attack before it spreads.
24/7 monitoring, analysis and response across servers, endpoints and mobile devices. FortiGuard experts filter alerts and we operate the response so your team can focus on what's strategic.
Traditional antivirus no longer stops the modern attack
Ransomware and fileless attacks bypass signatures. Without behavioral detection and expert response, the minutes between intrusion and encryption are your only defense.
Alert fatigue
Your IT team drowning in false positives loses sight of the real, critical incidents.
No in-house 24/7 SOC
Attacks don't respect business hours. Without nightly and weekend monitoring, the impact window is enormous.
Managed EDR by BITS + FortiGuard
Automated real-time defusion, risk-based triage and expert-operated response under the agreed policy, coverage and service scope.

Six capabilities that turn FortiEDR into a 24/7 MDR service
Technology detects; the service contains. This is how BITS operates Fortinet's EDR alongside FortiGuard analysts.
Real-time detection and defusion
Applies automated containment during an attack according to policy, agent coverage and threat type.
- Policy-based containment
- Behavioral analysis
- Anti-ransomware
24/7 monitoring by FortiGuard MDR
Fortinet experts perform triage and response based on your company's risk to prioritize actionable alerts for your team.
- Expert triage
- Risk-based response
- Night and weekend coverage
Attack surface reduction
Control unmanaged devices, identify vulnerable IoT and apply policies before threats find a way in.
- Device discovery
- USB and peripheral control
- Endpoint hygiene
Security Fabric integration
Share intelligence with firewalls, email, identity and SIEM for automated responses across the entire stack.
- FortiGate, FortiMail, FortiSIEM
- SOAR as a service
- Shared context
Legacy system protection
Virtual patching to protect old servers, medical equipment and OT without official vendor patches.
- Windows EoL
- Medical equipment / OT
- No reboots or changes
Automated and assisted response
Ready-to-use playbooks to isolate hosts, kill processes, roll back changes and leave forensic evidence for audit.
- Automatic isolation
- Change rollback
- Forensic evidence
Do you know how long it takes your team today to contain ransomware?
30-minute session with a BITS architect. We review your endpoint estate, your current coverage and the gaps versus a 24/7 MDR.
- Fast endpoint inventory
- 24/7 coverage analysis
- Current MTTR estimate
- No cost, no commitment
Does your team operate the EDR, or does the EDR operate against your team?
Technology alone is not enough. The difference is who operates it, with what experience, and at what hour of the day.

Managed EDR is ideal if this sounds like you
You don't need more tools: you need someone to operate them with judgment, around the clock and with a measurable SLA.
- You don't have an in-house 24/7 SOC.
- Your IT team suffers alert fatigue from false positives.
- You manage critical environments: OT, critical servers, points of sale.
- You need evidence for compliance (PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001).
- You want to reduce the total cost of security operations.

Impact
From deployment to verified containment
A clear four-step cycle, operated by BITS and FortiGuard, so your team can focus on what's strategic.
Deployment
We install FortiEDR agents on servers, endpoints and mobile devices. We tune policies to your operation.
Tuning and baseline
We calibrate detections, define critical assets and reduce false positives before go-live.
24/7 operation
FortiGuard MDR monitors and triages, and BITS coordinates response and communication with your team.
Continuous improvement
Monthly reports, lessons learned and playbook adjustments. Your posture improves every month.
More than detection: benefits for the whole business
Managed EDR not only protects you: it helps you comply, save and continuously improve your security posture.
Regulatory compliance
PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR and ISO 27001 require active endpoint monitoring. We deliver audit-ready evidence.
Cost reduction
Preventing a breach is significantly cheaper than recovering from a ransomware attack or paying a ransom.
Continuous posture improvement
FortiGuard's learning about global threats improves your local defenses every day, with no extra work from your team.
EDR becomes more powerful with the rest of the BITS stack
Combine it with our services to cover every layer of your operation, from endpoint to cloud.
Vulnerability management
Continuous discovery and prioritization by real risk to close the door before the attack.
Threat advisory
Actionable intelligence on active campaigns to prevent incidents before they escalate.
Network security
Firewalls, segmentation and NDR integrated into the Security Fabric for end-to-end visibility.
Identity and cloud
Granular permissions and access controls for users and cloud workloads.
SOC / SIEM / SOAR
Correlated events, automated playbooks and orchestrated response across your entire surface.
GRC
Governance, risk and compliance to reduce the regulatory impact of any event.
