The result is a CRM where the entire outbound workflow - call, log, send follow-up email, schedule next call, move pipeline stage - happens without switching applications.

The Meeting Notetaker transcribes and summarizes every Zoom, Teams, and Meet call on all plans.

It is the entry-level protection tier for teams that primarily need strong AV plus ransomware recovery. ThreatDown Advanced ($395\u002Fyr for 5 devices) adds full Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) - the ability to investigate active threats, analyze attack timelines, and respond to suspicious behavior in progress - along with patch management and host-based firewall management. Advanced is the appropriate choice for teams that need to investigate and remediate threats, not just block them on arrival. ThreatDown Elite ($495\u002Fyr for 5 devices) adds 24\u002F7 managed detection and response: a dedicated analyst team monitors the environment continuously, investigates detections, and remediates threats - eliminating the need for internal security operations staff to respond to overnight or weekend incidents.",{"question":830,"answer":831},"What does ThreatDown MDR actually include?","ThreatDown MDR, included in the Elite bundle, is a managed security service where Malwarebytes security analysts monitor your Nebula console around the clock. When a threat is detected, the MDR team investigates it, determines whether it is a genuine attack, and remediates it - isolating devices, removing malware, and restoring normal operation - without requiring action from your internal team. The service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Ultimate MDR Plus extends the standard MDR service with a published SLA (defining guaranteed response times), malware removal, root cause analysis (explaining how the attack entered the environment), dark web exposure monitoring for credentials, and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR). For organizations without an overnight security staff, Elite MDR provides active threat response at a fraction of the cost of staffing or contracting a dedicated security operations center.",{"question":833,"answer":834},"How does ThreatDown relate to Malwarebytes?","ThreatDown is the business product brand of Malwarebytes. In 2023, Malwarebytes separated its business endpoint security products under the ThreatDown name, while the consumer product line retained the Malwarebytes brand. The underlying detection engine and threat intelligence database are shared - ThreatDown draws on the same 20+ years of Malwarebytes research and the same threat detection technology that protects hundreds of millions of consumer and business endpoints globally. The ThreatDown Nebula console, bundle tiers, and MDR service are purpose-built for business deployments. When evaluating ThreatDown, reviews of 'Malwarebytes for Teams' or 'Malwarebytes Business' on G2 and other review platforms reflect the same product under its previous name.",{"question":836,"answer":837},"Is ThreatDown suitable for teams that have never used endpoint security before?","Yes - ThreatDown is specifically designed for organizations without a dedicated security team. The Nebula console automates alert prioritization so generalist IT administrators are not overwhelmed by raw detection volume. The Core bundle provides meaningful protection with minimal configuration: install the agent, apply a default policy, and the platform begins blocking threats and flagging vulnerabilities. Ransomware rollback is included from day one, providing a recovery capability without requiring any manual configuration. For teams that want professional monitoring without hiring a security analyst, the Elite MDR bundle outsources threat investigation and response to ThreatDown's analyst team entirely. The 5-device minimum and self-serve purchase path lower the barrier to starting - organizations do not need to complete a sales process or sign an enterprise contract to begin using the platform.",{"question":839,"answer":840},"Can ThreatDown be used by MSPs to manage multiple customer environments?","ThreatDown supports MSP deployments through Nebula's multi-tenant architecture. Service providers can manage multiple customer environments from a single Nebula console with separate policy sets, device groups, and reporting per customer. Licensing for MSPs is structured to support the aggregation of customer devices, and partner pricing is available through ThreatDown's reseller and MSP partner program. The Elite MDR service can be offered to customers as part of an MSP's managed security services stack, providing 24\u002F7 analyst coverage that complements the MSP's own service delivery.
