By Chris Bierasinski, VP of Business Development

IT Insights of Rochester is a local IT service provider offering managed IT security services and technology solutions in Rochester and nearby areas. Visit our cybersecurity protection services page for an overview of the various levels of protection we offer.

This is the third entry in a four-part series of articles. Our previous post explored significant threats targeting small entities and focused on user cybersecurity. In this post of the mini-series, we’ll explore three powerful tools that form the cornerstone of our third level of cyber-related protection.

ENHANCING YOUR COMPANY’S CYBERSECURITY DEFENSES WITH ADVANCED TOOLS  

Are you seeking ultimate protection for enhancing your company’s defenses against cyber threats? This article is for you. Here we will discuss how the tools we leverage surpass traditional antivirus software by providing comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities. Additionally, we will explore our ability to proactively track threat vectors across your network, devices, and digital assets – a critical capability for strengthening security posture. To finish up, we’ll talk about the benefits of receiving daily reports on compromised emails and passwords and how we use them. Sound good so far? Let’s dive in. 

POWERFUL ORGANIZATIONAL SECURITY

Our third level of protection is IT Insights’ ultimate solution for comprehensive security hardening and features three powerful tools.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) 

If antivirus software is similar to armor, EDR by Huntress is your network’s fortress.  Huntress is an incredible EDR and a managed SOC, all for an incredible price. Using Huntress EDR, IT Insights tracks threat vectors across your network, devices, and digital assets. This approach fully analyzes all threats to your environment. EDR is also an aspect of cybersecurity protection that insurance providers frequently ask about on applications. 

AI-Enabled Cyber Defense

We also offer Huntress’ managed Security Operations Center (SOC). It uses advanced technology to monitor and protect against serious threats all the time. The application’s AI diligently reviews threats, flagging any issues requiring attention, with human experts reviewing these flagged threats. Huntress informs us immediately if they discover a genuine threat – day or night. This allows us to promptly address the issue. In severe cases, the program automatically quarantines the affected device or application to prevent transmission. 

These formidable tools reinforce your company’s security, ensuring a bulletproof defense against potential cyber threats. 

AI-Enabled Cyber Defense Domain Security, Password Leaks, and More

In our third level of protection package, we also configure DarkWebID on each email tenant. This program scans dark web directories for leaked email addresses using your domain. Daily reports notify us of compromised emails and passwords. If found, we will assist in taking appropriate action. If a user has a leaked password with one of your business email addresses, we will receive a notification as soon as that report is available. 

This tool allows us to know if there are any leaks within an organization that may be causing widespread problems for your general security and access to your tools. By actively monitoring the dark web, we gain access to the very databases that the hackers are using to come after you. 

Internal Deep Scans to Find Loose Ends

RapidFire Tools is a scanning tool that we will configure and execute specifically for your network on an annual basis. It can delve into and scan across your organization’s systems in a manner that would be physically impossible for any team of human eyes, regardless of size. This tool processes and detects any vulnerabilities that may pose cybersecurity risks or compliance and regulatory issues. 

By utilizing this tool, your account manager will be able to gather a year’s worth of information in just a single day, enabling them to provide a comprehensive health check that can lead to tangible improvements in your operation. It offers an incredibly detailed assessment of your organization, which is presented to you by our highly skilled account management team. 

COST-EFFECTIVE DIGITAL SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR SAVINGS

Real-World Results

We have full confidence in the exceptional tools we’ve assembled, which offer top-tier security at a remarkably reasonable price point. These solutions not only save money but also prevent financial losses from cyber attacks and reduce overall IT operating costs. But you don’t just have to take our word for it.

How Our Third Level of Protection is Helping Clients

A client who has implemented all of the tools highlighted in the first three articles shared exciting news—her business’ cybersecurity insurance premium decreased by $500 monthly. According to the insurance provider, this was an unusual case where rates dropped. It was the only premium reduction seen by the provider that year. 

Seeing firsthand the positive impact of our security tools in enhancing digital assets and saving clients money brings us immense satisfaction.
