01 Critical
Ransomware
Files encrypted, ransom demanded, business halted for several days.
Payload
Protection for your devices,
monitored by Avepto.
Traditional antivirus is no longer enough. Avepto installs modern protection on your devices, watches the alerts and isolates the threat before it can spread.
The problem
Six threats, a single blind spot.
Each one bypasses traditional antivirus in its own way. The common thread: they all slip past known-virus lists.
Filter by severity
02 High
Phishing
Credentials stolen, mailbox compromised, fraud and diverted payments.
Email
03 High
Compromised accounts
Unusual sign-ins, foreign access, silent data exfiltration.
Identity
04 Medium
Malicious files
Booby-trapped attachments, downloaded executables, hidden scripts.
Attachment
05 Medium
Suspicious behaviour
Privilege escalation, unexpected processes, unusual changes.
Execution
06 Critical
Lateral movement
Spread from one device to the next, reaching servers and backups.
Spread
Consequences for an SME
- Teams blocked
- Files inaccessible
- Accounting interrupted
- Time lost to remediation
- Reputational damage
Comparison
Traditional antivirus
vs managed EDR.
The difference isn’t just technical. It’s operational: who watches, who decides, who acts, and how fast.
Criterion
Traditional antivirus Software shipped
Managed EDR Service operated
Detection
Recognises already-known viruses from a signature.
Also detects suspicious behaviour, even without a known signature.
Ransomware
May block known strains, often too late.
Spots encryption behaviour and cuts off the host before it spreads.
Alerts
Notifications shown on the device, read by the user.
Centralised, qualified and handled by the Avepto team, not your staff.
Response
Reaction left to the user or to a provider you have to call.
Remote isolation, remediation and bring-back-to-service handled by Avepto.
Follow-up
On you. Hard to tell whether the protection is still active tomorrow.
State checked continuously. Updates, policies and compliance documented.
Operational responsibility
The vendor ships software. Running it is on you.
Avepto operates the service. You have a person, not a licence.
Detection and response
Spot suspicious behaviour before it can act.
An antivirus blocks known threats. Behavioural detection goes further: it watches how each device behaves, continuously, flags whatever deviates from the norm, and responds, first automatically, then under the eye of an analyst.

Analysis
Each dot is a device action: a file opening, a connection, an execution. Behavioural detection analyses them continuously and keeps the one that falls outside the norm.
FAQ
Your questions on
managed antivirus and EDR.
A question that isn’t listed? Ask it during the audit. We answer plainly.
An antivirus blocks already-known threats from a list of signatures. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) goes further: it watches suspicious behaviour, spots an attack even with no known virus, and lets us isolate a device remotely before the threat spreads. Avepto deploys EDR on the workstations of Swiss SMEs.
Yes, this is exactly the case the service exists for. Avepto, based in Satigny in the canton of Geneva, plays the role of the security team that Swiss SMEs of 5 to 80 employees don’t have in-house. You keep doing your job, we monitor and respond to threats, without you becoming a cybersecurity expert.
Yes. Windows workstations, macOS workstations, Windows servers and Linux servers are covered by the same endpoint detection and response (EDR) service, with a unified view. Avepto monitors all your devices from a single console, which avoids the blind spots between your Mac and PC machines.
Every alert is qualified by our team before any action. If the threat is confirmed, the device is isolated from the network, cleaned, restored if needed, then brought back into service. You then receive a written report explaining what happened and what we did.
No, not noticeably in daily use. Modern endpoint detection and response (EDR) agents are lightweight and built to run in the background without getting in the way. If a slowdown does appear, we treat it as an incident in its own right and trace the cause.
