Managed Security Services.
Blocked. Detected. Contained.
Modern attacks don't come through a single door. They probe every entry point simultaneously: stolen passwords, phishing emails, unprotected endpoints. Aureon's managed security services deliver layered, defense-in-depth protection that stops threats before they cause damage.
Layered defenses that work together to stop modern attacks.
Most breaches are not stopped because no one was watching.
The gap between a secure environment and a breached one. Click any row to see what it means.
Continuous monitoring means suspicious activity is caught in minutes, not the 277-day industry average for unmanaged environments.
Firewall, EDR, MFA, and security awareness training are configured to reinforce each other, so an attacker who bypasses one layer faces another immediately.
EDR isolates a compromised device in seconds. Ransomware stops at one machine instead of encrypting the entire network before anyone notices.
MFA enforcement, security awareness training documentation, and access controls satisfy cyber insurance requirements and common compliance frameworks before an audit request arrives.
The same team managing your firewall also handles EDR, MFA, and security awareness training. No gaps between vendors. No blame-shifting when an incident spans multiple tools.
Attackers dwell in unmonitored environments for months. By the time a breach is discovered, data has already been exfiltrated, and damage has already been done.
Antivirus alone misses behavioral attacks and novel malware. Without EDR, a device can be fully compromised, and the business never receives an alert.
Without MFA, a single leaked password is all an attacker needs. Billions of credentials from past breaches are actively tested against Microsoft 365 and VPNs every day.
Cyber insurers are denying claims and raising premiums for businesses without documented security controls. Gaps your team doesn't know about become the insurer's reason to decline.
When firewall, antivirus, and email security are with different vendors, an incident that spans all three has no clear owner, and you spend the crisis managing finger-pointing instead of stopping the attack.
The difference isn't the tools. It's whether anyone is actively managing them.
Security software installed and forgotten behaves like no security at all. Alerts go unreviewed. Rules go untuned. Policies go unenforced. Most businesses don't find out how exposed they are until after an incident. A short conversation with Aureon's team is enough to tell you exactly where your gaps are and what it takes to close them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aureon Managed Security includes Multi-Factor Authentication by Duo Security, Security Awareness Training, and Endpoint Detection and Response, protecting the three most exploited attack vectors: stolen credentials, human error, and endpoint vulnerabilities. A fourth service, MDR/SOC/SIEM with 24/7 threat hunting, is launching soon. All services are delivered and managed by Aureon under a single agreement.
Yes. Strong passwords do not prevent phishing, credential stuffing from past data breaches, or a password being shared or reused. Multi-factor authentication neutralizes all of those scenarios; even a correct password cannot log in without the second factor only the employee controls. The Verizon DBIR reports 80% of hacking breaches involve compromised credentials. MFA is the single most effective control against that threat.
Two components: ongoing training modules delivered throughout the year covering phishing, social engineering, ransomware, and more; and simulated phishing campaigns where Aureon sends realistic fake emails to your team. Employees who click are redirected to immediate teachable-moment training. Your organization's Phish-Prone Percentage is tracked over time. Most organizations see it drop by over 86% within 12 months.
Antivirus matches files against known threat signatures; new or modified malware bypasses it. EDR monitors the behavior of every process at every endpoint, detecting suspicious activity regardless of whether the threat has been seen before. When confirmed, EDR isolates the compromised device from your network automatically in seconds, stopping ransomware from spreading before a human could even receive the alert. EDR is not an upgrade to antivirus. It is a fundamentally different category of tool.
MDR is Managed Detection and Response. SOC is a Security Operations Center, with analysts monitoring your environment 24/7. SIEM is the platform that collects and correlates logs from every system in your environment to surface real threats from the noise. Together they mean every event across your endpoints, network, identity, and cloud is analyzed by AI and reviewed by certified human analysts around the clock. Aureon is launching this service soon; contact us to be notified.
Cybersecurity is most effective when multiple layers work together. If an employee falls for a phishing email, Security Awareness Training (SAT) helps reduce the likelihood of that happening in the first place. If credentials are compromised, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can stop unauthorized access. If an attacker gains a foothold, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) can identify suspicious activity and isolate affected devices before the threat spreads. And if ransomware still encrypts systems, Managed Backup provides immutable, off-network recovery points that attackers can't alter or delete. Throughout the incident, Aureon acts as your trusted response partner, bringing visibility across your environment and helping coordinate recovery quickly and efficiently.
MFA is nearly universally required by cyber insurance underwriters. EDR and SAT result in meaningfully lower premiums when present. Businesses without these controls face higher premiums, coverage exclusions, or denial. Aureon's Managed Security stack is designed to satisfy the most common cyber insurance requirements, and Aureon can provide documentation of your security controls to support your application or renewal.
Both typically deploy across your organization within days of agreement. Duo MFA is configured by Aureon, and employees self-enroll on their phone; no hardware, no on-site visits. EDR is pushed remotely via a lightweight agent to each endpoint. Neither deployment disrupts daily operations. The priority is getting your organization protected quickly.
Managed Security is priced per user or per device per month depending on the service. Aureon conducts a discovery conversation to size your environment correctly and build a bundled plan without gaps. The predictable monthly cost is a fraction of the average ransomware incident cost, which the FBI reports regularly exceeds $100,000 for small businesses once downtime, recovery, and reputational damage are factored in.
