Most small businesses have Microsoft Defender running on their devices. Almost none of them have configured it beyond factory defaults. Attack surface reduction rules that block common attack techniques are off by default. Tamper protection may not be enabled. Default Defender is significantly less effective than properly configured Defender and the difference matters when an attacker is actually trying to get in.
Talk About Your EnvironmentMicrosoft Defender configuration review and baseline implementation. Attack surface reduction rules deployed and tuned for your environment. Tamper protection and real time protection verification. Endpoint detection and response configuration for organizations with Defender for Business. Huntress MDR deployment for organizations that need managed threat detection without building an internal security team. Policy documentation so future changes are intentional.
For small businesses that need more than baseline Defender, NextLayerSec deploys and supports Huntress managed detection and response. Huntress was built specifically for small business environments. It runs alongside Defender, provides 24 hour threat hunting by human security analysts, and catches what automated tools miss. We handle the deployment, configuration, and ongoing support.
Any organization where devices have never been specifically reviewed for security configuration. Businesses that recently experienced a malware or ransomware incident. Organizations in North Dakota preparing for a compliance review that requires documented endpoint security controls.
