How to choose a managed cybersecurity service

The market mixes antivirus, EDR, backup, “SOC”, and consulting in the same PDF. For an SME the useful question is: who operates this when my people are off, and what is in writing?

Evidence: reports leadership understands. Incident: one channel, one owner, one response time. Tool vs service An EDR license without operations is an installed agent.
