Cybersecurity & Risk

Real-time, inline, fully managed cybersecurity protection across your entire environment. We help mission-driven organizations reduce security exposure and strengthen their posture—practical guidance, not fear-based selling.

Modern cyberattacks don't stop at your firewall. They bypass perimeter tools, move laterally, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate data—often remaining undetected for months.

Security is not a tool. Security is an architecture.

What we help you accomplish

  • Vulnerability assessments & penetration testing
  • Identity & access management
  • Security awareness training

Common situations we see

  • Boards and auditors asking for a documented security baseline
  • Access controls that grew organically and no one fully understands
  • Staff clicking phishing links despite having "training"
  • Vendors and contractors with unclear access boundaries

What an engagement can look like

  • Assess. We map your current posture, identify gaps, and prioritize remediation.
  • Implement. We help you deploy controls, policies, and training that fit your capacity.
  • Support. Ongoing monitoring, updates, and guidance as your environment evolves.

Why Traditional Cybersecurity Fails

Most organizations rely on antivirus, firewalls, SIEM tools, and alert-driven monitoring. These tools notify. They don't prevent.

The Reactive Model

Reactive security creates alert fatigue, overwhelms internal IT teams, and leaves gaps between products that attackers exploit. Traditional tools only generate alerts after damage has already begun.

  • Antivirus and firewalls alone
  • SIEM and alert-driven monitoring
  • Gaps between disconnected products

What Modern Threats Require

Proactive cybersecurity demands inline inspection at the packet level, real-time blocking, lateral movement disruption, AI-driven threat intelligence, and full-stack visibility. That's exactly what our 13-layer model delivers.

  • Inline inspection at the packet level
  • Real-time blocking
  • Lateral movement disruption
  • AI-driven threat intelligence
  • Full-stack visibility

What Is 13-Layer Cybersecurity?

13-Layer Cybersecurity is a proactive, fully managed security architecture designed to block threats—not just notify.

  • Block inbound perimeter attacks
  • Stop lateral movement inside your network
  • Protect endpoints from zero-day exploits
  • Prevent ransomware execution
  • Remove phishing threats at multiple layers
  • Enforce Zero Trust principles
  • Provide executive-level governance

Instead of stacking disconnected products, we consolidate and architect your security stack into one cohesive, managed system.

The Core: Inline Real-Time Threat Intelligence

At the center of our model is inline, real-time threat detection and prevention.

Unlike mirror-port or cloud-only solutions, traffic is inspected at the bit and packet level—inline—before threats spread. Inbound perimeter threats are blocked. Outbound lateral malicious traffic is blocked. You read results—not alerts.

This eliminates dwell time, reduces alert fatigue, and stops attacks before they escalate.

Ransomware Defense That's Measured, Not Assumed

A ransomware attack isn't a single event. It's a chain of tactics and techniques: execution, persistence, defense evasion, credential access, lateral movement, command & control, and data exfiltration.

Our simulated ransomware testing evaluates how your network performs at each stage—providing detailed reporting and architectural improvement plans.

We don't assume protection. We test it.

Fully Managed Cybersecurity—Without Expanding Headcount

There is a global shortage of cybersecurity professionals. Our fully managed cybersecurity services include:

24/7 Monitoring

Around-the-clock network and endpoint monitoring with Network Detection & Response (NDR) and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR).

Identity & Phishing

MFA management, phishing protection and training, and security awareness programs.

Infrastructure Hardening

Vulnerability scanning, firewall optimization, and continuous improvement.

No additional in-house analysts required. No vendor juggling. No fragmented stack.

Virtual CISO (vCISO) Governance

Security isn't just technical—it's strategic. Our Virtual Chief Information Security Officer layer provides:

  • Executive-level risk reporting
  • Compliance alignment (HIPAA, PCI, NIST, CJIS)
  • Security roadmap planning
  • Insurance readiness
  • Board-level communication

You don't just deploy controls. You mature your security architecture.

Industry-Specific Cybersecurity

We protect healthcare organizations, financial services firms, manufacturing companies, law firms, local governments, and professional services organizations.

Threat intelligence is curated globally and reverse engineered to protect industry-specific attack vectors.

Tools and platforms

We work with CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, Palo Alto, Cisco, and other vetted solutions. Platform choice depends on your environment, budget, and compliance requirements.

Consolidate. Eliminate. Strengthen.

Most companies overspend on security tools that don't integrate. Our 13-layer model allows you to consolidate vendors, eliminate redundant licenses, reduce integration risk, improve performance, and strengthen architecture.

Security spending should increase protection—not complexity.

Cybersecurity FAQ

What is the 13-Layer Cybersecurity Architecture?
The 13-Layer Cybersecurity Architecture is a proactive, fully managed security model that blocks inbound perimeter attacks, stops lateral movement, protects endpoints from zero-day exploits, prevents ransomware execution, removes phishing threats at multiple layers, enforces Zero Trust principles, and provides executive-level vCISO governance. Instead of stacking disconnected products, we consolidate and architect your security stack into one cohesive, managed system.
How does inline real-time threat detection differ from traditional SIEM?
Traditional SIEM and alert-driven tools notify you after damage has begun. Inline real-time threat detection inspects traffic at the bit and packet level—before threats spread. Inbound perimeter threats are blocked. Outbound lateral malicious traffic is blocked. You read results, not alerts. This eliminates dwell time, reduces alert fatigue, and stops attacks before they escalate.
What is included in managed cybersecurity services?
Our fully managed cybersecurity services include 24/7 monitoring, Network Detection & Response (NDR), Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), MFA management, phishing protection and training, vulnerability scanning, firewall optimization, and security awareness programs. No additional in-house analysts required. No vendor juggling. No fragmented stack.
What does Virtual CISO (vCISO) governance include?
Our Virtual Chief Information Security Officer layer provides executive-level risk reporting, compliance alignment (HIPAA, PCI, NIST, CJIS), security roadmap planning, insurance readiness, and board-level communication. You don't just deploy controls—you mature your cybersecurity architecture with strategic oversight.
How does ransomware protection work in your architecture?
A ransomware attack is a chain of tactics: execution, persistence, defense evasion, credential access, lateral movement, command & control, and data exfiltration. Our simulated ransomware testing evaluates how your network performs at each stage—providing detailed reporting and architectural improvement plans. We don't assume protection. We test it.
What industries do you protect?
We protect healthcare organizations, financial services firms, manufacturing companies, law firms, local governments, and professional services organizations. Threat intelligence is curated globally and reverse engineered to protect industry-specific attack vectors.
