Service definition
What Edge Defense does.
Managed edge security coordinates firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN, web, application, and branch controls at the boundaries where users, sites, cloud services, and the public internet connect.
- Organizations replacing separate perimeter, branch, web, and application-security tools
- Distributed teams that need consistent policy across offices and remote access
- Lean IT teams that want the edge monitored, updated, tuned, and supported
- Fragmented controls and vendor handoffs at the network edge
- Inconsistent policy between headquarters, branches, cloud services, and remote users
- Limited visibility into risky inbound and outbound traffic
- Prevention tools that are installed but not continuously operated
Product details
Evaluate the capabilities that matter in your environment.
A coordinated edge layer for offices, branches, remote users, applications, and web traffic.
Centralized logs and cloud or on-premises deployment options support different environments.
24/7 SOC monitoring, security updates, reporting, and compliance support remain part of the service.
Managed from day one
One continuous operating motion.
Deployment is the beginning of the service, not the end of the project.
- 01Assess the environment
Review the sites, users, systems, traffic flows, obligations, current controls, and operating constraints that shape the service.
- 02Design the coverage
Define in-scope assets, policies, integrations, retention, escalation paths, responsibilities, and success measures before deployment.
- 03Deploy and tune
Connect or install the service, validate traffic and telemetry, test policy behavior, resolve exceptions, and document the operational handoff.
- 04Monitor and respond
Operate, update, tune, review, and escalate the subscribed controls according to the agreed monitoring and support scope.
- 05Report and improve
Review activity, evidence, exceptions, service trends, and recommended next priorities with ownership made clear.

Compared with NBX Managed Detection & Response
Edge Defense focuses on controlling traffic and reducing exposure at connection points. NBX correlates signals and supports investigation and response when suspicious behavior remains.

Buyer’s guide
Commercial scope and compliance context.
Evaluate the complete operating commitment, not only a license or feature list.
A defined managed scope
Scope is shaped by locations, users, traffic capacity, required protection layers, deployment model, logging, and support expectations. The proposal should identify the technology, deployment, monitoring, updates, reporting, and support included so the full operating cost is visible.
Compare the full operating cost →Technical support, not a compliance guarantee
No single product establishes compliance. These guides show where the service can support controls, operations, and evidence.
