Ocotillo Endpoint Protection
The thorns are not seasonal.
An ocotillo is armed every day of the year, before anything comes at it. Security that only shows up after the incident is not security, it is cleanup. Ocotillo Endpoint Protection is three stacked layers, each one adding something the layer below it cannot do.
Three layers, and what each one is actually for
Most providers sell one product and call it security. These are three, they stack, and you can start at any layer and move up without replacing what you already have.
Layer 01
Ocotillo Watch
Managed detection and response, watched by people, not just software.
What it adds
Managed EDR on every endpoint, backed by a security operations centre staffed 24 hours a day. Something suspicious at 2am gets looked at by a human at 2am.
What it stops
Ransomware, credential theft and footholds that antivirus alone routinely misses, caught while the attacker is still moving rather than after the encryption starts.
Layer 02
Ocotillo Lock
Application allowlisting. Nothing runs unless it is on the list.
What it adds
Allowlisting layered on top of Watch. Instead of trying to recognise every bad thing, only approved software is permitted to execute at all.
What it stops
Ransomware before it runs, not after. This is the layer that changes the outcome rather than shortening the recovery, and very few providers at this size offer it.
Layer 03
Ocotillo Seal
Browser isolation, because that is where the work now happens.
What it adds
Browser protection on top of Watch and Lock. Malicious pages, credential harvesting and hostile downloads are contained before they reach the machine.
What it stops
Phishing pages that get past the mail filter, drive-by downloads, and the copied login screen that looks exactly like the real one.
Why the entry layer includes a human
Most competitors put software in the cheapest tier and hold 24/7 monitoring back for the expensive one. That gets the headline price down and leaves the smallest clients with an alert nobody reads until Monday.
Ocotillo Watch includes the security operations centre from the first day. That is the whole point of the layer. A detection nobody acts on is not protection, and the businesses least able to absorb an incident are exactly the ones being sold the version with nobody watching.
