Protection track record maintained
Professional approach vs. typical MSP: Most MSPs are generalists who handle IT support and treat security as an add-on. We're security specialists who've spent five decades exclusively focused on protecting businesses from evolving threats.
Proactive prevention vs. reactive response: While typical MSPs wait for problems and then respond, our deep experience enables us to anticipate threats, test recovery procedures monthly, and prevent incidents before they occur.
Documented processes vs. hope: We don't just implement security tools—we document everything, test recovery regularly, and provide evidence-based assurance. You'll know you're protected, not just hope you're protected.
Strategic security architecture: Five decades of experience means we've seen every attack vector, every failure mode, and every recovery scenario. We architect security based on real-world lessons, not vendor marketing materials.
Why Enterprise-Grade Technology Matters
Cloud-Delivered Integrated Protection
Unlike hardware-limited solutions, our cloud-delivered security ecosystem creates layered defense protecting users and devices both on and off your network. DNS-layer security combined with advanced endpoint protection ensures comprehensive coverage wherever your team works.
Why it matters: Most MSPs use affordable hardware-based solutions that can't protect remote workers. Our cloud-first approach covers everyone, everywhere.
Advanced Threat Detection & Response
Sophisticated EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) provides rapid detection, containment, and remediation of advanced threats that bypass traditional antivirus. Our systems catch what others miss.
Why it matters: Consumer-grade antivirus only stops known threats. EDR stops sophisticated attacks using behavioral analysis and threat intelligence.
Global Threat Intelligence Network
Our security is backed by one of the world's largest threat intelligence teams, analyzing billions of daily security events globally to expose and block emerging threats before they reach you.
Why it matters: Threats evolve hourly. Hardware-based solutions can't update fast enough. Cloud-delivered intelligence protects against zero-day attacks in real-time.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
Modern cloud-delivered networking and security services move beyond traditional data center-centric models. Provides consistent security for all users accessing cloud apps and the internet from any location.
Why it matters: Traditional firewalls only protect your office. SASE protects everywhere—home, coffee shop, airport—with the same enterprise-grade security.
Predictive Threat Intelligence
Advanced AI analyzes relationships between malware, domains, IPs, and networks to predict and prevent cyber attacks before they reach your systems. Automatically identifies attacker infrastructure being staged for future attacks.
Why it matters: Most security reacts after you're attacked. Predictive intelligence stops threats before they launch—blocking malicious domains and IPs days or weeks before attacks begin.
Global Cloud Architecture
Global cloud infrastructure with automated failover and 100% uptime. Routes requests to closest datacenter, cutting network latency by up to 73% compared to traditional security solutions. No added latency during security checks.
Why it matters: Hardware-based security slows down your network. Cloud-delivered security actually improves performance while providing superior protection.
DNS-Layer Security
DNS-layer protection blocks threats before they reach your network or devices. Works for on-premises and roaming users, providing the first line of defense that stops threats at the DNS lookup—before connections are ever established.
Why it matters: Traditional security waits until threats reach your network. DNS-layer security stops malicious connections before they start—preventing downloads, callbacks, and data exfiltration.
Industry-Leading Detection Rate
Highest cyberthreat detection rate in the industry, protecting 100+ million users globally and 30,000+ companies. Enterprise-grade protection previously available only to Fortune 500 organizations.
Why it matters: Detection rate determines what gets through. The highest detection rate means fewer successful attacks, less downtime, and lower breach risk.
Enterprise-Grade Security Tools
Our security platform uses enterprise tools that meet SOC 2 Type II compliance standards with comprehensive auditing and transparent security controls. These tools provide the documented security practices needed to support your compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, etc.).
Why it matters: Compliance auditors and insurers require documented controls. Using SOC 2 compliant security tools provides the audit trail and documented controls they demand.
Automated Patch Management
Automated patching across Windows, macOS, Linux, and 200+ third-party applications. Organizations face 2,000-4,500 security patches monthly—manual tracking is impossible. Our system automatically tests, schedules, and deploys critical security updates before vulnerabilities can be exploited.
Why it matters: 60% of breaches exploit known vulnerabilities with available patches. Most MSPs rely on manual patching that leaves critical gaps for weeks. Automated enterprise patch management closes security windows within hours, not months.
For the first time, enterprise-grade software and services are available to mid-sized and smaller companies. Previously, only enterprises (1,000+ employees) could access these sophisticated security tools. Unlike consumer-grade or affordable hardware-based equipment used by typical MSPs, our integrated cloud-delivered solutions provide superior threat detection, global threat intelligence, and protection for remote workers. Transparent pricing. Flexible contract options. All costs disclosed upfront.
*CMMC/NIST 800-171 plans may have an additional charge.
