Cyber criminals have evolved from mischievous hobby hackers seeking fame to coordinated crime syndicates seeking fortune. Business data breaches aren’t just an inconvenience; they can be a huge and debilitating cost to a business.

Your employees are your greatest asset, but also your greatest threat when it comes to keeping your network safe.

Three Managed Security Services Options to Fit Your Budget

Pegasus offers three tiers of security services to fit your desired security posture and budget.

Tier One: Information Security Training and Assessment

We deliver on-demand, web-based training to teach each employee how to recognize and keep safe from common security threats. Regular “email phishing tests” actively measure how employees respond to dangerous phishing attempts. Tests also help CEOs and business leaders determine which employees might be putting their business at risk.

Tier Two: Managed Information Security Services

In addition to training and assessments, we can dive deeper to test the physical security of your network and security policies. We make sure employees are following guidelines to keep your assets safe and monitor for rogue devices that could harm your network’s security.

Tier Three: Managed Information Security Services with Event Management

We provide secure, cloud-based Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) at a fraction of the cost of you having to invest in SIEM software. This option offers proactive event management in addition to employee training and network monitoring. The ticketed responses filter noise, assign priority, and alert employees to incidents when appropriate.
