Read All ReviewsBlueKey IT protects every laptop, desktop, and server with Datto EDR, backed by a 24/7 managed security operations center (SOC) through RocketCyber. Traditional antivirus only catches threats it already knows. EDR watches for suspicious behavior, isolates infected devices, and stops attacks before they spread, and SOC analysts review alerts around the clock. Endpoint security with 24/7 SOC monitoring is included in all new BlueKey managed IT plans.
Datto EDR on every endpoint · 24/7 SOC monitoring · Included in new managed IT plans
Modern attacks use stolen passwords, legitimate tools, and brand new malware that signature-based antivirus never sees. Here is how the layers compare:
| Traditional antivirus | EDR | EDR + 24/7 managed SOC (BlueKey) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it detects | Matches files against known virus signatures | Watches behavior on the device for suspicious activity | EDR detection plus human analysts reviewing every alert |
| What it catches | Known malware | Known and unknown threats, including ransomware behavior | Known and unknown threats, with context from security experts |
| How it responds | Quarantines the file | Can isolate the device and stop malicious processes | Analysts investigate and BlueKey contains and remediates the threat |
| Who is watching | No one, unless someone checks the console | Your IT team, during business hours | Security analysts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week |
That is why BlueKey replaced traditional antivirus with Datto EDR and a managed SOC for our managed IT clients.

RocketCyber SOC analysts investigate the alert, day or night, to separate real threats from false alarms.
If the threat is real, the device can be isolated from the network so the attack cannot spread.
BlueKey technicians remove the threat, restore the device, and tell you what happened and how to prevent it next time.
Every business with computers and data worth protecting. It matters most if you handle patient, client, or financial data, work in the defense supply chain, or need to meet cyber insurance requirements. Many insurance carriers now ask whether you use EDR and 24/7 monitoring, and frameworks like HIPAA and CMMC expect strong endpoint protection.
Datto EDR and 24/7 SOC monitoring are included in all new BlueKey managed IT plans, priced per user and per device. On average, clients invest about $100 per user per month, with a 10-user minimum. Existing clients on older plans can contact us to add it.
Endpoint security protects the devices people use to work, such as laptops, desktops, and servers, from malware, ransomware, and other attacks. Modern endpoint security combines detection software on each device with monitoring and response when a threat is found.
EDR stands for endpoint detection and response. EDR software continuously watches device behavior for signs of an attack, alerts security staff, and can isolate a device or stop malicious activity. BlueKey uses Datto EDR.
For most businesses, yes. Traditional antivirus only catches known threats by matching signatures. EDR detects suspicious behavior, so it can catch new malware, ransomware, and attacks that use stolen credentials or legitimate tools.
A managed security operations center (SOC) is a team of security analysts who monitor and investigate alerts 24/7. BlueKey uses RocketCyber, so alerts from your devices are reviewed by people around the clock, not just when your office is open.
Yes. Datto EDR and 24/7 RocketCyber SOC monitoring are included in all new BlueKey managed IT plans. Existing clients on older plans can contact us to add it.
Many cyber insurance carriers now ask whether you use EDR and 24/7 monitoring. Having Datto EDR and a managed SOC in place helps you answer yes to those questions.
The threat is flagged by Datto EDR, investigated by SOC analysts, and the affected device can be isolated from the network. BlueKey then removes the threat and restores the device, using backups when needed.
Know who to call and what to do in the first hour of an attack. The free BlueKey IT plan covers key contacts, first steps, recovery, and a readiness check, in a fillable format you can print and keep offline.
