Most small businesses can't staff a security operations center. You don't have to. Black Arc puts trained analysts and response tools behind every computer and Microsoft 365 account you own, all day, every day.
A lightweight agent on every computer records process activity, logins and network connections. It flags behavior that matches known attack techniques, even when the file itself has never been seen before.
EDR tells you something is wrong. MDR means someone acts on it. Our security operations center watches your alerts 24/7/365, investigates them, and stops active threats before they spread.
We attack your network the way a criminal would, with your permission and inside an agreed scope. Then you get a prioritized list of what to fix and how to fix it.
Here's how a typical incident plays out with Black Arc on watch.
The agent on a front-desk PC sees Word launch a hidden PowerShell command. That pattern matches a known malware loader.
An analyst reviews what the program did and confirms the activity is malicious.
The PC is isolated from the network. It can still reach our team and nothing else, so the threat can't spread.
Your contact gets a call and an email explaining what happened and what we did about it.
You receive the full timeline, the root cause and the steps to get the machine back in service.
Example incident. Times are illustrative.
Modern attacks use legitimate tools and stolen passwords. Antivirus looks for known bad files, so it often never sees them.
| Capability | Antivirus | EDR | Black Arc MDR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blocks known malware | |||
| Spots suspicious behavior | No | ||
| A person investigates every alert | No | No | |
| Stops an attack in progress at 2 a.m. | No | If someone is watching | |
| Watches Microsoft 365 accounts | No | No |
Usually not. Our platform runs alongside Microsoft Defender and most business antivirus products. During the review we'll tell you if anything conflicts.
The agent is lightweight and built to run in the background. Most people never notice it's there.
It drops off the network except for its connection to our team. Everyone else keeps working. We restore access once the threat is cleared.
Yes. We can handle security on our own and coordinate with your IT provider, or work alongside your internal staff.
Every test runs under a signed scope and rules of engagement. We agree on timing, targets and anything that's off limits before we start.
A security review shows what's protected, what isn't, and what to fix first.
