Common Threats We Protect Against

Phishing & Credential Theft

Email-based attacks targeting employee credentials — the #1 entry point for breaches.

Ransomware

Malware that encrypts your data and demands payment — average ransom now exceeds $1.5M.

Insider Threats

Malicious or accidental data exposure from current or former employees.

Network Intrusion

Unauthorized access through unpatched vulnerabilities or misconfigured systems.

Our Managed Security Services

Next-Gen Firewall (NGFW)

Deep packet inspection, application control, and automatic threat intelligence updates — fully managed.

24/7 SOC / MDR

Our Security Operations Center monitors your environment around the clock and responds to threats in real time.

Intrusion Detection (IDS/IPS)

Identifies and blocks suspicious traffic patterns before they become breaches.

Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA deployment and management across email, VPN, and cloud apps — blocking 99.9% of account attacks.

SASE & Zero Trust

Secure access for remote and hybrid workers — verify identity and device health on every connection.

Compliance Support

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 alignment — documentation, controls, and audit readiness support.

Vulnerability Scanning

Regular scans of your network and endpoints to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before attackers find them.

Security Awareness Training

Phishing simulations and employee training — your people are your last line of defense.

Why Ohio Businesses Are a Prime Target

Ohio ranked in the top 10 states for reported cybercrime losses in 2025. Mid-market businesses — 25 to 500 employees — are the most targeted segment because they hold valuable data but lack enterprise-grade defenses. If you're a manufacturer, healthcare provider, financial firm, or professional services company in Ohio, you're on attackers' lists.

$4.9M

Average cost of a data breach for a mid-market business in 2025 (IBM Security Report). Most aren't insured for the full amount.

197 Days

Average time a breach goes undetected without active monitoring. Attackers dwell in your network for months before striking.

82% of Breaches

Involve a human element — phishing, stolen credentials, or social engineering. Technology alone doesn't stop it.

60% of SMBs

That experience a significant cyberattack close within 6 months. The threat is existential, not just operational.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between MDR and a basic antivirus?
Antivirus catches known threats by matching signatures. MDR (Managed Detection and Response) uses behavioral analysis and a human SOC team to catch novel attacks that have never been seen before — including the fileless malware and living-off-the-land attacks that bypass traditional AV entirely.
Do I need cyber insurance AND managed security?
Yes — and most cyber insurers now require evidence of active security controls (MFA, EDR, email filtering) before issuing a policy. Having our managed security in place typically reduces your premium by 15–30% and ensures you can actually file a claim after an incident.
How quickly can you respond to an active attack?
Our SOC has a mean time to respond (MTTR) of under 1 hour for confirmed incidents. For critical threats like active ransomware, we can isolate affected endpoints within minutes of detection — before the encryption spreads.
We already have an IT person. Do we still need managed security?
Most IT generalists are excellent at helpdesk and infrastructure but don't have the specialized security training or tooling for threat hunting and incident response. Managed security complements your internal IT — we handle security so they can focus on keeping the business running.
What happens during a security incident — do you contact us directly?
Yes. Confirmed incidents trigger an immediate call to your designated contact. We walk you through what we found, what we've contained, and the recommended remediation steps — then document everything for your records and insurer.
