Phishing, malware, ransomware – these and other cyberattacks can have serious consequences, including brand damage, business disruption, and regulatory fines for data breaches. But many SMEs haven't yet rolled out effective cybersecurity measures for reasons such as cost, complexity, lack of access to the right skills and expertise, and unclear business value.
Konica Minolta's Workplace Intrusion Patrol EDR and XDR offer a simpler, more affordable way to improve your defences and lower the chances of a successful cyberattack. You don’t have to add in-house cybersecurity skills, resources or hardware: our EDR and XDR cyberattack detection and response services are designed specifically for SMEs, are cloud-based and fully managed by Konica Minolta experts.
Our Workplace Intrusion Patrol EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) service is an endpoint security service that significantly reduces the business risk of attacks that originate at endpoints – servers, computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets. It does not matter where employees work, but the risks can be elevated when employees work from home or in other remote locations without the protection of the company firewall or other central security measures.
With Workplace Intrusion Patrol XDR (Extended Detection and Response) Konica Minolta also offers protection against cyberattacks that go beyond endpoints. While EDR can only be connected to endpoints and provides automated incident response functions for them, XDR can also be connected to other security environments, e.g. across on-premises and cloud-based resources, and thus responds to incidents in the entire security area. For example, Konica Minolta's XDR service includes cloud identities, Active Directory, and email.
The ability to discover and eliminate stealthy attacks is valuable whether an organisation's existing protection is mature or not. If your organisation is at an early stage of its cybersecurity maturity, an EDR or XDR solution are a great way to quickly improve your defences as they reinforce the defences provided by existing security solutions to combat attacks that can cause severe damage. By adding a complementary line of defence at many points of attack, Workplace Intrusion Patrol stops intruders before they can get in via your endpoint devices, emails or compromised user accounts and use them as a springboard for more serious attacks on central systems and data. Workplace Intrusion Patrol covers all entry points relevant for hackers regardless of where people are working.
Intelligent EDR and XDR software provides real-time data feeds into our analytics service for round-the-clock monitoring, analysis and response. If the service detects a threat or any kind of anomalous behaviour – advanced AI algorithms are also used for the analysis –, it will automatically take action to remove the threat, or engage the Security Operations Centre (SOC) for more advanced analysis and response. If a stealthy attack manages to spread despite the activated service, the SOC team will collaborate with other security specialists to mitigate the incident.

In the past, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may have considered themselves at less risk of cyberattacks than larger enterprises. Today, however, it’s clear that cybercriminals will target organisations of any size to make money – generally by stealing valuable data (such as intellectual property, or client or employee information) for resale, or holding a company’s data or IT systems to ransom.
