Peace of mind, built in layers.
One partner for your IT, security and support. Real people watch your business around the clock, AI helps them move faster, and when a threat appears, they shut it down on the spot.
Aureon Unified Protection is an all-in-one managed cybersecurity service that pairs managed IT with a security team that actively stops threats. Real people watch your devices, logins and Microsoft 365 accounts around the clock, AI helps them move faster, and threats are shut down on the spot. Three tiers (Essentials, Defense and Resilience) add layers as your needs grow.
A security team that never clocks out, so your people keep working and you stop wondering what you missed.
Protection at every point an attack can start, from the login screen to the backup drive.
One partner monitors, patches, backs up and protects your business, and one team answers when something happens.
Backed up, patched up and locked up. Select a layer to see how it protects you.
Microsoft 365 and data backup
A ransomware attack, a deleted folder or a departing employee doesn't turn into lost work. Workstations and Microsoft 365 data stay backed up and ready to restore.
Systems monitored and patched
Every computer and server is watched around the clock and kept current, so known weaknesses get closed before attackers can use them.
Logins, MFA and accounts secured
Protection starts at the login. Compromised Microsoft 365 accounts are locked down fast, and a second sign-in step keeps stolen passwords from opening the door.
Threats don't get a head start. Our active response security operations center never clocks out. When a threat appears, analysts isolate the affected device or account on the spot, so your team keeps working.
Real human protection, AI-enhanced. Tenured analysts lead every response. AI helps them spot and act on threats faster.
Analysts with defense and intelligence backgrounds, including NSA
Analysts spot an unusual sign-in to a Microsoft 365 account from an unfamiliar location.
The account is disabled, its sessions are ended and a malicious email forwarding rule is removed.
You get a detailed report: what happened, what we stopped and what to fix next.
Aureon's team handles the cleanup and your business keeps running.

Aureon Unified Protection is an all-in-one managed cybersecurity service that pairs managed IT with a security team that actively stops threats. A 24/7 security operations center monitors your devices, logins and Microsoft 365 accounts and shuts threats down on the spot. It comes in three tiers. Essentials covers monitoring, patching, endpoint detection and response, and identity threat detection. Defense adds multifactor authentication, workstation and Microsoft 365 backup, and security awareness training. Resilience adds security information and event management (SIEM) and vulnerability management with dark web monitoring.
Managed detection and response (MDR) pairs endpoint security software with a team of analysts who monitor alerts around the clock, investigate them and respond to real threats. For businesses without their own security staff, MDR provides 24/7 coverage that would otherwise take several full-time analysts to run in-house. MDR is included in every Unified Protection tier.
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is software that records activity on computers and servers and flags suspicious behavior. MDR adds the people: a security operations center that watches those alerts 24/7, decides which ones are real and takes action to contain them. EDR on its own still needs someone to respond to every alert, including nights and weekends.
When analysts confirm a threat, they contain it right away. Depending on the attack, that can mean isolating an infected computer from the network, disabling a compromised account and ending its active sessions, or removing malicious email forwarding rules. You then receive a detailed report covering what happened, what we stopped and what to fix next, and Aureon's team handles the cleanup so your business keeps running.
Unified Protection is real human protection, AI-enhanced. Tenured analysts with defense and intelligence backgrounds, including NSA, lead every investigation and response. AI helps them sort through activity and act on real threats faster. That pairing gives you the judgment of experienced people with the speed of automation.
Microsoft Defender is included in several Microsoft 365 business plans and gives you capable endpoint protection tools. Those tools still need people watching them. MDR adds a security operations center that monitors your devices and accounts 24/7 and acts on real threats, including nights and weekends. Unified Protection works alongside the Microsoft 365 tools you already pay for.
Microsoft keeps the Microsoft 365 service running, but under its shared responsibility model, protecting and recovering your data is largely up to you. Deleted items are kept only for limited retention windows, which can leave gaps after a ransomware attack, an accidental deletion or the removal of a former employee's account. The Defense and Resilience tiers of Unified Protection include Microsoft 365 backup.
It depends on what you already have in place and what you need to prove. Essentials fits businesses that already run multifactor authentication, tested backups and ongoing security training. Defense fills those gaps. Resilience fits regulated industries and businesses that face audits or need security logs and scan results on hand. The free Fit Check on this page recommends a tier in about three minutes.
Many insurers now ask about multifactor authentication, endpoint detection and response with 24/7 monitoring, backups, patching and security awareness training before they write or renew a policy. Unified Protection includes those controls across its tiers, and the Defense tier covers the most commonly requested ones. Coverage decisions are made by your insurer, and our team can walk through your application with you.
Yes. Every tier includes 24/7 remote monitoring and patching, so IT and security are managed together by one partner. Security monitoring and response also run 24/7 in every tier. For everyday IT help, you can add Professional Support for a predictable monthly cost or use time and materials support billed by the hour.
Aureon's team reviews vulnerability scan results with you and explains which issues to fix first. The Resilience tier also includes a security score that tracks how your protection improves over time, and we walk through it with you.
Unified Protection is offered on three-year and five-year agreements. Our team can help you choose the term and tier that fit your plans.
