CyberSmart Active Protect for Desktop

Continuously finds endpoint weaknesses and guides remediation to reduce cyber risk.

"Helps organisations reduce cyber risk by continuously checking devices, guiding remediation and improving employee security awareness."

Continuous endpoint posture and hygiene monitoring

Many organisations struggle to keep endpoint configurations and user behaviour aligned with basic security controls. Vulnerabilities and drift appear between patch cycles and ad hoc device changes, creating persistent attack vectors and gaps in assurance.

CyberSmart Active Protect continuously assesses endpoints and configurations to detect vulnerabilities, configuration drift and risky user actions. It provides evidence of issues and remediation guidance so teams can reduce exposure and make targeted, practical fixes at scale across mixed estates.

Across small and medium UK organisations it supports ongoing cyber hygiene, and can feed evidence into certification or internal assurance processes.

Where CyberSmart Active Protect for Desktop is used

Deployed where teams need automated visibility of endpoint posture, Active Protect runs continuous checks to flag unpatched software, insecure configurations and risky user practices so technicians can prioritise fixes.

Used to support certification efforts, it collects configuration evidence and highlights gaps against expected baselines. It also helps organisations with limited in-house security expertise focus on the highest‑impact remediations rather than reviewing raw logs.

Suitable environments

Best suited to SMEs and organisations with mixed Windows estates and limited dedicated security staff. It fits environments where basic endpoint hygiene and configuration control are the priority rather than advanced telemetry or custom tooling.

It is useful for organisations preparing for formal security certification or handling personal or financial data, and for those who rely on MSPs for IT support and need clearer, actionable endpoint evidence.
