AllTech
Antivirus tells you what it blocked.
It doesn't tell you what happened.
Attacks that matter rarely arrive as a file your antivirus recognizes. They arrive as ordinary Windows tools, used the wrong way, at 2 a.m. AllTech runs endpoint detection and response on every machine you own, watches the behavior instead of just the file, and has a 24/7 security operations center that actually reads what comes back.
The tools they use are already on your computer
Ransomware operators stopped bringing their own software years ago. There's no reason to. Every Windows machine ships with everything they need — a utility to delete backup snapshots, a utility to download files from the internet, a scripting engine that can run anything. Signature-based antivirus has no opinion about a legitimate Microsoft tool doing exactly what it was designed to do.
The problem isn't that these tools run. They run constantly, for entirely normal reasons. The problem is that nothing about the file tells you which time was normal. Only the behavior does: what launched it, what it did next, whether it happened on one machine or forty at once.
That distinction is the whole job. Endpoint detection and response records the behavior on every endpoint, flags the patterns that look like an attack in progress, and puts the result in front of someone who can tell the difference between a backup script and the first ten minutes of a ransomware deployment.
Four layers on every machine
Managed EDR
Datto EDR runs on every workstation, laptop, and server. It records process behavior continuously and maps what it sees to MITRE ATT&CK — the same framework incident responders use — so a detection arrives with context, not just a filename.
Managed antivirus
Datto AV and SentinelOne handle the known-bad: commodity malware, malicious documents, exploit attempts. Real-time and scheduled scanning, centrally managed, with detections reported up rather than dismissed by whoever happens to be sitting at the machine.
DNS filtering
Datto DNS Secure blocks connections to malicious and unwanted destinations before they’re made. It’s also the layer that quietly tells us when a machine is trying to reach somewhere it shouldn’t — often the first sign of an unwanted browser extension or bundled adware.
24/7 SOC review
Detections go to RocketCyber’s security operations center, staffed around the clock, not to a dashboard nobody opens. Endpoints can be isolated from the network remotely while an incident is being worked, so a compromised laptop stops being everyone’s problem within minutes.
Monthly reporting
You get a plain-language report every month: what was seen, what was escalated, what turned out to be nothing, and what’s still open. No portal login required.
What a month of endpoint security actually looks like
Between June 1 and July 1, 2026, across nearly 1,300 endpoints, 44 firewalls, and more than 800 Microsoft 365 accounts, here's what the layers actually did.
Roughly 9,800 per machine per day — every process start, every network connection, every file written. Nobody looks at this layer. It exists so that when something does happen, the history is already there.
Three-thousandths of one percent. These matched known attack patterns — the tools and sequences that show up in real intrusions.
Still not incidents. Candidates.
Endpoint, cloud, and network telemetry, correlated across sources rather than judged one machine at a time.
About one every twelve hours. Each one meant an analyst decided the activity warranted a real investigation.
Every incident opened during the month was worked to a conclusion.
Two numbers matter in that list. Zero ransomware detections across the fleet, and zero incidents still sitting open at the end of the month. The second one is the harder of the two, and it's the one that tells you whether anybody is actually reading the alerts.
Figures from AllTech's Datto EDR and RocketCyber SOC reporting, June 1 – July 1, 2026. The two event totals measure different pipelines and are not additive.
The top five detections last month were all legitimate software
Not malware. Not a single one. Here's what the platform flagged most often, and why:
A utility that deletes backup snapshots
Windows includes a tool for managing shadow copies — the snapshots that let you restore a file you overwrote. It has real administrative uses. It is also, almost universally, the first thing ransomware runs, because encrypted files aren’t leverage if you can just roll them back. It fired on hundreds of machines last month. All of them were benign. The next one is the reason we watch it.
A command-line download tool
`curl` ships with Windows and macOS and is used constantly by legitimate software. It’s also how an attacker who already has a foothold pulls down the rest of their toolkit. Most of last month’s command-and-control detections traced back to it — concentrated on a handful of machines, which is exactly the pattern that says “a script doing its job” rather than “an intrusion spreading.”
A core Windows service process
`svchost.exe` runs half of Windows. It’s also the most commonly impersonated process name in malware, because a fake one hides in a list of forty real ones.
Bulk file deletion on Linux servers
Either housekeeping or cleanup after something you’d rather not know about. The difference is entirely in what preceded it.
A platform that only alerted on definite malware would have been silent all month. A platform that alerts on all of this and hands you the list is just a different kind of useless. The work is in between: knowing that a shadow-copy command on the backup server at 1 a.m. is the job, and the same command on a front-desk laptop at 1 a.m. is a phone call.
The 63 incidents, in plain English
Six things accounted for most of what an analyst investigated last month:
Remote access software installing itself
A remote-desktop service appeared on a managed workstation. Sometimes that’s a technician. Sometimes it’s how an attacker keeps a way back in after the original hole is closed. Either way it gets a call, because the two look identical in a log.
New local accounts appearing on workstations
A dozen machines had new local user accounts created. Most were routine setup. Creating a local account is also one of the oldest persistence techniques there is, which is why nobody gets to assume.
A user added to a privileged group on a domain controller
Someone gained rights they didn’t have that morning. The SOC called the client the same day rather than emailing a ticket.
Fake installers blocked mid-download
Two files disguised as PDF setup programs were caught and mitigated on a workstation before they ran. This is the ordinary shape of a real attack — not sophisticated, just convincing enough at 4:30 on a Friday.
PowerShell used to hide activity
One machine ran PowerShell in a pattern that matched a known defense-evasion technique. Investigated, resolved, no compromise.
Cloud sign-ins that didn’t fit
Sign-ins from anonymized IP addresses, from unfamiliar locations, and one session token that behaved anomalously — the technique that lets an attacker skip multi-factor authentication entirely.
Twenty-four of the 63 turned out to be normal activity once someone looked. That's not a failure rate — it's the job working correctly. The alternative is a system tuned quiet enough to never bother you, which is also quiet enough to miss the one that mattered.
Half of last month's incidents didn't start on an endpoint
Just over half of the incidents opened last month — 50.8% — originated in the cloud: Microsoft 365 sign-ins, risk detections, and account activity that no agent on a laptop would ever see. The rest came from endpoint and network detections.
That's worth saying on a page selling endpoint security. Protecting the devices is necessary and it is not sufficient. An attacker with a stolen session token never touches a managed machine. The laptop is clean, the antivirus is green, and the account is being used by someone else entirely.
Endpoint security is one layer. It's a layer we'd argue is non-negotiable, and it's a layer that doesn't work alone.
Email Security & Phishing Protection and Microsoft 365 & Entra ID cover the other half.

Deployment
Inventory
We find out what you actually have. In most environments that includes at least a few machines nobody remembered — an old server, a laptop that left with someone, a workstation on a bench.
Agent rollout
Agents deploy remotely and quietly. No reboots for most machines, no downtime, no change to how anyone works.
Baseline and tuning
The first two weeks are noisy on purpose. Your line-of-business software does things that look strange out of context, and we’d rather learn what normal is than suppress detections blind.
Ongoing monitoring
The SOC triages detections as they arrive, 24/7. You hear from us when something needs you, and once a month either way.
This is the right fit if
Common questions
Is this different from the antivirus we already have?
Yes, and you want both. Antivirus identifies files it recognizes as malicious. EDR watches what programs do, which is the only way to catch an attacker using software that’s already installed and signed by Microsoft. We run both because they fail in different places.
Will it slow down our computers?
The agent is lightweight and most people never notice it’s there. If a specific application does conflict, we tune around it rather than turning protection off.
What happens when something is found?
The SOC triages it first — most detections are explainable within minutes. If it isn’t, the machine can be isolated from the network remotely while we investigate, and you get a call, not a ticket.
Does this protect Macs and Linux servers?
Yes. Windows, macOS, and Linux are all covered, which matters more than it used to now that a meaningful share of most fleets isn’t Windows.
Can it stop ransomware?
It can detect and interrupt the behavior that precedes encryption, which is the realistic version of that promise. Anyone selling a product that makes ransomware impossible is selling you something. Endpoint security is one layer; tested backups are the other, and we’d rather you have both.
What if we already have an EDR product?
Plenty of businesses own one and nobody reads the alerts. If that’s the situation, say so — the conversation is about who’s watching it, not about replacing what you bought.
