IT Protects, LLC

Our Approach to Cybersecurity

At IT Protects we use a 5-step approach to combat malicious entities that want to access your data. We provide an all-encompassing solution to protect our client’s data, so that they can focus on growing their business with peace of mind.

Identify

The first step and usually the most overlooked is identifying all the possible entry points that cyberattacks can come from, which entails documenting all the available devices that have access to the outside world. We use an industry leading documentation platform as our database for securing all our client’s data. Through a meticulous step by step process, we make sure to have all the information about work devices and account information carefully store it encrypted. Due to our detailed methods, we can quickly identify any possible threats that can emerge and efficiently handle them.

Protect

                The next step in the process is the most integral aspect of cyber defense. Through the various software in our arsenal, we can stop attacks before they arrive on your devices. The main way hackers get onto systems is using phishing scams and malicious emails. To combat the ever-increasing dangers lurking we provide our clients with top-of-the-line phishing training and simulations, and using AI technology we can automatically stop and quarantine phishing emails. As an added layer of protection, we use 2 factor authentication management to monitor and make sure that only you and your employees are accessing any company systems. Using this three-prong approach we can get ahead of the ever-increasing threat and provide you the security you need.

Detect

                As an extension of the preventative measures in place we provide many services that will monitor and detect any threats that are on your networks and end point devices. We provide our clients with multi layered cross functional detection services using enhanced detection and response 24/7 security operations center and, network operations center services, along with endpoint detection. With the use of EDR and endpoint protection we have dual coverage and monitoring every aspect of your network and endpoint devices. With the ever-increasing number of remote workers within the ecosphere our EDR solutions will help keep your company and client’s information safe through constant monitoring.

                The SOCr and NOC teams are on a constant 24/7 watch over all your networks and devices to maintain a strict standard of cyber security. Through our partnership with them we can make sure your security compliances are also up to date and that there’s always a team making sure all your critical data is safe.

Respond

                If any of the services we provide for detection happen to find any slight chance of ransomware or malicious attack, they will go into a process of quarantining files or emails that can be considered harmful to devices. The critical part of this step is timing and efficiency and with the help of EDR and SOC we are always on top of the issues and stopping it before a major issue arrives. The key aspects of the response step are not just the action of isolating harmful files, it is also important to analyze where the threat came from and create a plan to stop it from occurring again. The services listed above provide detailed reports and analysis on every incoming potential threat, so that we can improve our cyber security.

Recover

                The final step in the process is another often overlooked component in providing cyber security. While most companies do have a backup they tend to be housed on the server, so if a hacker already has access to the internal systems they can go in and delete the backups rendering the company helpless. We provide a service through Unitrends or Datto that creates a backup of all your companies’ data onto a server that is separate from your own company’s server so that hackers cannot access it. Now in the event that a hacker got into the systems and rendered all systems and data inoperable we can go back and provide a backup point to the prior day or hour depending on your RPO and RTO saving from losing money and time. The backup image can be instantly recovered as a virtual machine. In case of a loss by theft or disaster the same can be done in the cloud. Users can simply connect to a client VPN and continue to work.
