Frequently Asked Questions
Our managed IT integrates security from day one. While traditional MSPs focus on uptime and helpdesk tickets, we prevent breaches by building security into every service. When you split MSP and MSSP providers, you risk security gaps and finger-pointing during incidents. Our integrated approach delivers compliance with 15-minute response times - all through a single provider.
Traditional security assumes everything inside your network is safe - that's why 94% of breaches start with compromised credentials. Our managed IT implements Zero Trust to verify every access request, reducing your attack surface by 90%. By preventing lateral movement through segmentation and continuous monitoring, we stop basic breaches from escalating into six-figure disasters.
We transform compliance from annual firefighting into continuous validation. Our managed IT automatically maps your controls to frameworks like CMMC, NIST, and HIPAA. Instead of scrambling before audits, our continuous monitoring and remediation maintains audit-ready documentation, with monthly reports showing your exact compliance status across every framework. Managed services, done right.
The ONE Platform eliminates the complexity of juggling multiple providers and tools. Our managed IT integrates security, compliance and infrastructure management into a single pane of glass. With automated security validation and 15-minute response times, we deliver military-grade protection without enterprise complexity or cost.
Our managed IT leverages CrowdStrike's 99.9% breach prevention rate and user-friendly incident response interface. During an attack, you get clear visibility of affected systems and one-click isolation of compromised devices. Unlike competitors, CrowdStrike's advanced AI detection spots threats other tools miss, making it ideal for businesses without large security teams.
Most providers let technical debt accumulate as you grow. Our managed IT starts with architecture that scales from 50 to 1000+ users without rework. We design and implement solutions that grow with you, preventing the costly rebuilds and security gaps that come from outgrowing your infrastructure.
Rather than managing multiple security tools independently, our managed IT creates a unified security fabric. We integrate identity management with network and endpoint security, so one tool's detection triggers automated responses across your entire security stack. This integration provides Fortune 500 protection without Fortune 500 complexity.
Instead of endless security tools, our managed IT starts by making your business harder to target. We use advanced scanning and remediation to eliminate exposed services, while hiding critical assets behind multiple security layers. By "going dark" to attackers while maintaining business operations, we reduce your risk of becoming a target.
Our managed IT adapts to your company. We can integrate existing tools into our security architecture while adjusting our pricing to accommodate current contracts. This lets you transition to better security without paying twice or disrupting operations.
Unlike providers that just alert you to problems, our managed IT includes complete incident response. Our rapid response team isolates threats, prevents spread, and restores operations - all while maintaining detailed documentation for compliance and insurance requirements.
Picus helps validate CMMC controls through continuous monitoring and threat detection. Our CMMC compliance experts ensure findings translate into audit-ready documentation.
Picus continuously validates your security effectiveness by simulating real-world threats. Our ONE Platform leverages Picus to test defenses against 24,000+ attack scenarios, while our security operations team fixes vulnerabilities within minutes of detection.
Unlike traditional antivirus that waits for known threats, CrowdStrike prevents breaches before they happen. Our military-grade security platform combines AI-powered prevention with 24/7 human expertise. The platform delivers next-generation antivirus through Falcon Prevent, advanced endpoint detection and response capabilities, automated threat hunting, and integrated threat intelligence - all with guaranteed 15-minute response times.
At Ridge IT Cyber, we have developed a methodology for responding to breaches designed to attack, measure, and improve our clients' cyber posture. To be effective, today's cyber security strategies must move from a defensive-centric posture to an offensive-centric stance. The best way to do this is to attack continuously. We aim to detect in 1 minute, investigate in 10 minutes, and act in 60 minutes.
The only way to minimize attacks and breaches is to be an expert in your security tools. Beyond expertise in a tool, you must also possess investigative cybersecurity experience to meet the 1-10-60 standard. Ridge IT Cyber specializes in best-in-class solutions with the knowledge required to leverage their capabilities to the maximum effect. We represent the finest solutions on the market today.
