Cybersecurity services
Antivirus and a firewall are not a security strategy
Most IT providers still treat cybersecurity like a checklist: install antivirus, set up a firewall, and call it done. That approach leaves real gaps, and you're the one who ends up dealing with the consequences.
- Most breached small businesses close within 6 months
- 80% of breaches start with one stolen password
- Email is still the #1 way attacks get in
- Antivirus alone only catches threats it already knows
- Hackers scan for weaknesses around the clock

real tools, real people, real strategy
Layered protection, three simple plans
Multi-Factor Authentication (Duo)
80% of breaches start with stolen credentials. MFA stops that cold. A stolen password alone gets an attacker nowhere.
Antivirus (Microsoft Defender)
Real-time protection against known viruses and malware, the baseline every device needs, and the first layer of a defense that goes much deeper.
Managed EDR (Huntress)
Huntress watches your devices for suspicious behavior and catches what others miss, backed by human threat hunters who respond in real time.
Email Security (Hornetsecurity)
Filters phishing, malicious attachments, and spam before they ever reach an inbox, your first line of defense.
Training, scanning & dark web monitoring
The Smart plan ($29/user/mo) adds security awareness training, vulnerability scanning, and dark web monitoring that warns you the moment your credentials surface.
Managed SIEM & enterprise SOC
The Genius plan ($35/user/mo) feeds your logs and security events into an enterprise-level Security Operations Center, built for compliance and sensitive data.

What clients say about our Cybersecurity services
Vertical IT Solutions has been hosting our accounting program for years. When we had a crisis with our past host (due to a security breach) they quickly set us up and things have been very smooth since!
We have been working with Mark Colgan for many years and he is the best IT technician we've ever worked with.
We use Vertical for all our IT consulting services. They are knowledgeable, professional, with excellent customer service.
Owning a business, it's hard to find people you can genuinely trust with your stuff. I'm pleased to say that working with Vertical IT is genuinely a pleasurable and stress free experience.
These guys really know their stuff. Very happy with their approach, pricing, and security.
We trust them to monitor our most precious data and to guide us in the right direction.
They are always available and are willing to drop everything in emergency situations for us. I have never felt like a bother to our lead technician.
When it matters, humans respond in seconds
Most providers stop at the checklist. We operate more like a security team than a support vendor: enterprise-grade tools, human threat hunters, 24/7 monitoring, and a strategy that adapts as threats evolve.
That shows up in the details. When one client’s CEO email was breached, Huntress isolated the compromised machine within 60 seconds. On another client, our managed EDR caught a ransomware attempt and stopped it before it could spread. And when dark web monitoring flagged a client’s leaked credentials, we forced a reset and turned on multi-factor authentication before anyone could use them.
That’s the difference real people and real strategy make.

What happens if there’s an incident?
Between real-time detection, 24/7 monitoring, and human-led response, we’re actively working to contain and resolve threats before they escalate.
Is this just software?
Nope. These are tools backed by real humans, security experts monitoring, responding, and keeping your business protected 24/7.
Can I start small and upgrade later?
Absolutely. Many clients start with our Basic or Smart package and add layers over time. À la carte customization is available too, so your protection grows with your business.

Plans are priced per user, per month: Basic at $20, Smart at $29, and Genius at $35. Every plan includes Duo multi-factor authentication, Microsoft Defender antivirus, Huntress managed EDR, and Hornetsecurity email protection.
Do I really need all of this?
Not necessarily. That’s why we offer tiered packages. But in today’s threat landscape, having multiple layers of protection significantly reduces your risk of a costly breach.
