EDR tools and a team watching alerts around the clock catch attacks that slip past prevention. Many attacks start at night or over weekends, when nobody is watching. Monitoring only matters if someone acts on alerts.
Why it matters
For Ransomware, detection is rarely a purely technical question. It touches ownership, budget and how quickly decisions can be made when something goes wrong. Teams that agree on these points in advance spend less time debating them under pressure.
What to check
- Deploy EDR on all servers and endpoints
- Make sure alerts are handled outside office hours
- Agree in advance what the team may isolate
Where to start
An MDR service gives smaller teams 24/7 coverage without building a SOC. Write down what you decide, who owns it and when it will be reviewed. That record is often the evidence a reviewer asks for later.
