EDR & MDR Services for Latin America

Endpoint Detection and Response — 24/7 threat containment and active incident response across Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Miami and Puerto Rico

Endpoints — laptops, servers, workstations, cloud instances, and mobile devices — are the primary entry point for the overwhelming majority of cyberattacks targeting Latin American organizations. Ransomware, credential theft, Business Email Compromise, and advanced persistent threats all begin at the endpoint. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is the technology that watches every endpoint in real time, detects malicious behavior the moment it begins, and takes automated or analyst-directed action to contain it before it spreads.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) takes EDR further: instead of delivering alerts for your IT team to investigate, GLADiiUM’s NSOC analysts do the investigation and response on your behalf — 24/7, in Spanish and English, with the regional regulatory knowledge that generic US-based MDR providers cannot replicate.

What Is EDR and Why Does It Matter?

Traditional antivirus operates on signatures — it only catches threats it has seen before. EDR uses behavioral analytics and machine learning to detect threats based on what they do, not what they look like. When a process begins attempting to encrypt files, exfiltrate data, move laterally through the network, or escalate privileges — EDR detects the behavior and alerts or responds in real time, regardless of whether the malware has ever been seen before.

For organizations in Latin America facing sophisticated ransomware operators, nation-state adjacent threat actors, and targeted BEC campaigns, behavioral EDR is not a luxury — it is the difference between detecting a breach in minutes and discovering it three months later after the damage is irreversible.

EDR vs Traditional Antivirus

Antivirus — signature-based, catches known threats only, no visibility into behavior
EDR — behavioral analytics, detects unknown threats, full endpoint telemetry, automated response
MDR — EDR plus 24/7 analyst monitoring, investigation, and active response on your behalf

GLADiiUM’s MDR Service: We Act, Not Just Alert

The fundamental difference between GLADiiUM’s MDR and a traditional MSSP that monitors EDR alerts is outcome: when a threat is confirmed, our analysts don’t send you an email at 3 AM and wait for a ticket to be acknowledged. They act. With pre-authorized response playbooks, our NSOC analysts isolate compromised endpoints, terminate malicious processes, block attacker command-and-control communications, and preserve forensic evidence — all before your team is aware an incident has begun.

In ransomware scenarios specifically, this speed of response is the single most important variable in limiting damage. Every minute between initial compromise and containment is additional files encrypted, additional systems affected, and additional recovery cost.

24/7 Endpoint Monitoring

Continuous behavioral monitoring across all managed endpoints — laptops, servers, cloud instances, and mobile devices — with no shift gaps.

Active Threat Containment

Pre-authorized response: isolate compromised endpoints, terminate malicious processes, block C2 communications — in minutes, not hours.

Threat Hunting

Proactive analyst-led searches for attacker presence beyond what automated detections surface — finding threats that haven't triggered alerts yet.

Forensic Investigation

Full incident investigation: attack timeline reconstruction, root cause analysis, evidence preservation, and executive reporting in English and Spanish.

Bilingual Response

All incident communications, reports, and response calls available in Spanish and English — critical for Latin America's bilingual operations.

Compliance Aligned

EDR monitoring generates audit evidence for HIPAA, CNBS, CNBV, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 compliance requirements.

EDR Technology Platforms

GLADiiUM’s MDR service is platform-agnostic — we manage and monitor EDR deployments from leading vendors including Sophos Intercept X, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Bitdefender GravityZone. If you already have an EDR platform deployed, we can take over management and monitoring. If you are starting fresh, we recommend the platform best suited to your environment, budget, and regulatory requirements.

For organizations transitioning from basic antivirus to enterprise EDR, GLADiiUM manages the full deployment: agent rollout across all endpoints, policy configuration, alert tuning, and integration with our SIEM platform for correlated detection across your entire environment.

MDR Coverage by Territory

GLADiiUM’s MDR service covers all seven of our operating territories from a single NSOC, providing consistent protection standards regardless of which country an endpoint is located in:

Honduras — Home market, local on-site response available in TGU and SPS
Panama — Financial sector and Canal zone logistics coverage
Costa Rica — Nearshore IT and SUGEF-regulated financial institutions
El Salvador — SSF-compliant coverage for financial and manufacturing sectors
Mexico — Enterprise and LFPDPPP/CNBV-aligned monitoring
Miami, Florida — HIPAA, GLBA, and FIPA-compliant MDR for South Florida
Puerto Rico — HIPAA, GLBA, CMMC, and pharma GxP endpoint protection

Ransomware Defense: EDR as Your Last Line

Ransomware is the most damaging and most common attack type targeting Latin American organizations in 2025. Modern ransomware operators spend weeks inside victim networks before triggering encryption — conducting reconnaissance, stealing credentials, disabling backups, and moving laterally to maximize impact before the final payload executes.

EDR is the only security control that monitors endpoint behavior continuously enough to detect the pre-encryption activity that reveals ransomware operators: PowerShell execution patterns, credential dumping, shadow copy deletion, unusual file access patterns, and lateral movement via RDP or SMB. GLADiiUM’s MDR service applies specific ransomware detection rules tuned to the attack groups most actively targeting Latin American organizations.

Compliance Frameworks Supported

HIPAA Security Rule — EDR on ePHI-accessing endpoints is a technical safeguard requirement. GLADiiUM’s MDR generates the audit log evidence for HIPAA compliance.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — Annex A controls A.8.7 (malware protection), A.8.15 (logging), and A.5.26 (incident response) are directly addressed by our EDR/MDR service. GLADiiUM is currently in the process of ISO 27001:2022 certification.*
SOC 2 Type II — EDR telemetry and MDR incident response documentation supports CC6 (logical access) and CC7 (system operations) Trust Services Criteria. In process.*
PCI-DSS Requirements 10 & 11 — Continuous log monitoring and malware protection on all cardholder data environment systems.
CNBS / CNBV / SBP — Financial sector endpoint monitoring aligned to Central American and Mexican banking cybersecurity requirements.

* GLADiiUM Technology Partners is currently in the process of ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II certification, anticipated 2026.
