Cybersecurity at Alterio Technologies
At Alterio Technologies, security isn't just a priority, it’s the foundation of everything we do. We maintain a security-first approach by integrating the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework into our own operations and the solutions we provide. Every recommendation and action we take for our clients is guided by this rigorous methodology, ensuring comprehensive protection and resilience against ever-evolving cyber threats.
Our 5-Step Security Methodology
We begin by identifying and understanding your organization's unique assets, data flows, and potential risks. Through comprehensive assessments, we pinpoint vulnerabilities, assess current security measures, and define the critical components that need protection.
Once we have a clear understanding of your environment, we implement tailored security measures to protect your systems, networks, and data. This includes access controls, encryption, secure configurations, and employee awareness training—all designed to minimize the risk of security incidents.
We continuously monitor your systems to detect any potential threats or anomalies. Our advanced threat detection solutions provide real-time alerts, enabling rapid response to any suspicious activity before it escalates into a serious issue.
In the event of a security incident, our team is ready to act quickly and effectively. We follow a structured incident response plan to contain the threat, mitigate damage, and ensure your business continuity with minimal disruption.
After any incident, we work to restore normal operations as swiftly as possible. Our recovery process includes root cause analysis and system improvements, ensuring that your organization emerges stronger and more resilient from any attack.
This process, grounded in the NIST framework, empowers us to safeguard your business with a proactive and systematic approach to cybersecurity. With Alterio Technologies, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your IT infrastructure is secured by industry-leading best practices.
We take a different approach by prioritizing best-in-class security solutions over convenience. While many MSPs bundle tools from a single vendor, we use our experience to select products with a proven track record of efficacy, ensuring each tool in our cybersecurity stack excels at its function. This layered security model requires more effort on our part, but results in a more resilient security posture, providing our clients with peace of mind that their digital assets are protected by the most effective technologies available in the market. We are constantly reanalyzing our stack and will not hesitate to forklift a product if it provides superior performance for our clients.
- Included in the base offering
EDR
Continuously monitors endpoint devices for suspicious activities, using advanced analytics to detect and respond to both known and unknown threats in real time. It offers enhanced visibility into endpoint behavior, making it a critical part of modern cybersecurity strategies.
ZERO TRUST
Assumes no user, device, or system inside or outside an organization's network is inherently trusted, requiring continuous verification and strict access controls for every request.
EMAIL SECURITY
Approximately 91% of cyberattacks begin with email. Methods like phishing, credential harvesting, and social engineering are low cost and highly effective. This highlights the importance of email security in preventing breaches and cyber threats, and why we include comprehensive email protection to every customer.
CONTENT FILTER
Blocks access to harmful or inappropriate content, protecting users and systems from malware, phishing, and other cyber threats. It also ensures compliance with organizational policies and regulatory standards, maintaining a secure and productive environment.
AWARENESS TRAINING
Security Awareness Training is vital to an effective security posture as it trains employees on how to recognize and properly respond to cyber threats like phishing, social engineering, and other malicious activities, reducing the likelihood of breaches. By fostering a culture of vigilance, it strengthens an organization's overall security posture and minimizes human errors that can lead to cyberattacks.
VULNERABILITY MGMT
Identifies, prioritizes, and remediates security flaws in software and systems, reducing the risk of cyberattacks. By continuously monitoring and patching vulnerabilities, we ensure a more resilient security posture, protect sensitive data, and minimize the risk of breach through exploits.
3-2-1 BACKUPS
The 3-2-1 backup strategy is critical as it ensures data is protected by maintaining three copies: two on different storage media and one offsite. This approach reduces the risk of data loss due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, or cyberattacks, ensuring that critical data can be recovered in various disaster scenarios.
IDENTITY PROTECTION
Ensures that the right individuals have appropriate access to technology resources, enhancing security and operational efficiency. It helps organizations manage user identities, enforce access controls, and reduce the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance violations.
SIEM
We include Security Information and Event Management capabilities for all applicable customers as it provides real-time monitoring, analysis, and reporting of security events across an organization's IT infrastructure. This centralized approach provides visibility into potential threats, streamline incident response, and ensures compliance by consolidating security data for proactive threat management.
