eSentire BYOAV: MDR That Works with Your AV

Why It Matters

Organizations running Microsoft Defender AV and other antivirus solutions have been forced to choose between replacing their existing AV or accepting limited visibility and manual investigation workflows.

The eSentire Bring Your Own Antivirus (BYOAV) solution eliminates that trade-off. You can now deploy the eSentire Atlas Agent alongside your existing AV and instantly get centralized alert visibility, AI-investigated findings, remote actions, and 24/7 SOC.

Key Features

• Centralized visibility: AV alerts, posture, scan state, signature status, and exclusions surface directly in the Atlas Platform.
• AI-powered investigation: Defender AV alerts and Atlas Agent detections are automatically investigated together by Atlas AI. Every finding is explainable; every action is reversible.
• Multi-signal correlation: AV alerts and Atlas-native detections correlated in a single workflow
• EDR bypass detection: Atlas detects tampering with or disabling of endpoint controls, layered on top of your existing AV.
• No extra cost for coverage: BYOAV is included with all eSentire packages.

What to Know

BYOAV is part of eSentire's growing portfolio of integrations. Microsoft Defender AV on Windows is available now, with additional AV solutions to be added soon.
