Our priority is to keep your technology functional and secure – alleviating the burden of technical support, network maintenance, cyber risk assessments, and day-to-day cybersecurity management.

Service Spotlight: Cybersecurity Training and Awareness
According to Tessian, 88% of cyber breaches incidents involve human error. Put simply, this could be a click, response, or email forward. Frequent and engaging security awareness training is critical to an organization's cybersecurity posture. We offer cybersecurity awareness training sessions that can be conducted in-person or virtually, tailored to your organization's unique requirements or designed for specific user groups, including your industry, financial team, executives, board members, or IT teams.

We recommend that any organization conducts annual cybersecurity training at a minimum.
