Aureon Unified Protection:
Managed IT and Security
Patched. Protected. Proactive Support.

Aureon Unified Protection is Aureon's all-in-one managed IT and security service. It combines 24/7/365 monitoring and patching, an active response security operations center, and endpoint and identity protection behind every managed device. It comes in three tiers, Essentials, Defense, and Resilience, and you choose a support option separately.

Each tier builds on the one before it. Essentials includes 24/7/365 remote monitoring and patching, a 24/7/365 security operations center (SOC), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and identity threat detection and response (ITDR). 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.

Traditional antivirus checks files against a list of known threats. EDR (endpoint detection and response) watches what is happening on each workstation and laptop, spots suspicious behavior even when it does not match a known threat, and can isolate the device. Every Unified Protection tier includes EDR, and our 24/7/365 security operations center (SOC) investigates its alerts and contains the threat, so you get a stopped threat instead of an alert to act on.

Analysts contain it right away, at any hour. Our active response security operations center runs 24/7/365, so depending on the attack that can mean isolating an infected computer from the network, disabling a compromised account and ending its sessions, or removing a malicious email forwarding rule. You then get a detailed report of what happened, what we stopped, and what to fix next, and Aureon's team handles the cleanup.

Yes, in the Resilience tier. Vulnerability management with dark web monitoring finds weak points across your environment and credentials leaked online, then ranks which to fix before attackers can use them. Our team reviews the results with you, and a security score tracks your progress over time.

Not as a separate copy you can restore from. Microsoft keeps the service running, but protecting and recovering your data is your responsibility, and built-in retention holds deleted items only for a limited time. The Defense and Resilience tiers include fully managed, immutable cloud backup for Microsoft 365 and workstations, so a deleted mailbox or an encrypted laptop can be restored.

It covers the controls insurers ask about most often. Defense includes multifactor authentication, managed backup, endpoint detection and response, and security awareness training. Resilience adds SIEM logging and compliance reports. Every patch and alert is logged, so you have evidence ready for an application or renewal. Coverage decisions are always up to your insurer.

Most likely, yes. Microsoft Defender comes with several Microsoft 365 business plans and gives you capable protection tools, but those tools still need people watching them. Unified Protection adds a 24/7/365 security operations center (SOC) that monitors your devices and accounts and acts on real threats, including nights and weekends, plus monitoring, patching, and support from one partner. It works alongside the Microsoft 365 tools you already pay for.

Windows and Mac desktops, laptops, servers (physical and virtual), and remote devices, plus Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts. Agent-based monitoring works wherever the device is, so a home or mobile machine receives the same patching, monitoring, and threat protection as one in the office. Aureon inventories every device, user, and application during onboarding so nothing is left unmanaged.

Two, and either one works with any tier. Time and materials bills support labor hourly, only when you use it. Professional Support adds remote support from Aureon's Iowa-based team from 8am to 5pm Central, Monday to Friday. Support is chosen separately so you pay only for the hands-on help your team needs.

Pricing has two parts: a per-user price for the tier you select, Essentials, Defense, or Resilience, and the support option you choose. Both are confirmed after an initial look at your environment, so the quote reflects your actual users and devices. Project work is quoted separately under a Statement of Work.

Most deployments are fully operational within one to two weeks of agreement. Aureon handles the full onboarding process, including environment discovery, agent deployment, and baseline setup, typically without disrupting daily operations.
