    BYOE Explained: When Bringing Your Own EDR Saves You Money

    You already paid for an EDR. Why buy another one to get a SOC?

    Most managed security providers bundle their service with a specific endpoint product — which means signing up often forces you to rip out the EDR you already pay for and migrate every machine to theirs. BYOE is the alternative.

    What BYOE means

    Bring Your Own EDR. Our SOC connects to the endpoint protection you already run, and our analysts monitor and respond through it. You keep your existing tool, your existing agent on every machine, and your existing license — and add the 24/7 human layer on top.

    Two of our packages work this way:

    • SOC & Response — $9.20 per endpoint per month. 24/7 SOC monitoring and managed response on top of your EDR.
    • SOC & Extended Response — $15.00 per endpoint per month. The same model with extended response coverage.

    When BYOE saves you money

    The math is straightforward. If your current EDR licensing is paid up — annual contracts, bundled deals, or simply a tool your team knows — replacing it means paying twice during the transition and re-deploying agents across every endpoint. BYOE skips all of that: no migration project, no overlap period, no retraining.

    When BYOE is the wrong choice

    BYOE assumes you have a working EDR. If you don't — or your current product is end-of-life, unsupported, or something your team fights with — starting fresh is cleaner. That's what Full Cyber Stack is for: $35.00 per endpoint per month including Acronis EDR, deployed by our team, plus the complete managed service. One package, nothing to bring.

    What the onboarding looks like

    1. You browse the packages and submit a request online — prices are public, no sales call required.
    2. Our team responds within 24 hours to confirm your EDR is supported and plan the connection.
    3. Installation and integration are handled by our engineers.

    FAQ

    Which EDRs do you support?

    Submit a request with the EDR you run and we'll confirm within 24 hours as part of our response.

    Can I start with BYOE and switch to Full Cyber Stack later?

    Yes — packages can change as your environment changes.

    Does BYOE mean less protection?

    No. The monitoring and response service is the same — the difference is only whose EDR sits underneath.
