Cybercrime Statistics

Hybrid work permanently expanded the attack surface.

Users are on home Wi-Fi, personal devices, and cloud apps. Attackers follow that traffic. A firewall at the office is necessary — it is not sufficient by itself.

Reported cybercrime losses keep climbing — and SMBs are a primary target.

Too many small and mid-size businesses still run on a single antivirus install and hope. STACKTECH builds overlapping controls so one missed click does not become a business-ending event.

Ransomware is still the event that takes companies offline.

STACKTECH recommends a mesh: endpoint detection, next-gen firewall, hardened wireless, identity controls, and tested backups. With the right policies in place, we can drastically reduce the chance of a breach — and the blast radius if one happens.

Cybersecurity Solutions

A modern cybersecurity stack uses mesh coverage: overlapping tools for different attack surfaces. Below are the solutions STACKTECH deploys most often for DFW clients.

Endpoint Security

SentinelOne™ - Advanced Endpoint Threat Protection

If you are interested in the absolute best endpoint protection, look no further! SentinelOne (S1 for short) is one of the best (if not THE best) endpoint protection on the market. This advanced endpoint protection software is currently offered in two main packages; Control and Complete. S1 takes it leaps and bounds beyond standard anti-virus protection!

Active EDR (Endpoint Detect & Respond) protection based on AI machine learning
AI-driven EDR that goes well beyond traditional antivirus — used as our premium endpoint stack.Read more here.
Rollback feature for malware/ransomware allows an administrator to rollback the computer to a time before the attack took place. Click here to watch a demo!
SentinelOne holds several patents for their unique technology. Read more here.
Threat Hunt feature allows SOC technicians to visualize threat movement on your network.
Multi-Platform compatible! Works on PC, Mac and most popular Linux distributions.

BitDefender GravityZone™

BitDefender is our standard endpoint security solution. While there are some key differences between SentinelOne and BitDefender, it is still an excellent solution to pick when it comes to protecting endpoints.

Modular add-ons for email security and disk encryption.
Ransomware mitigation.
Automatic disinfection and removal.
HyperDetect - Tunable machine learning
Endpoint risk analytics
Web threat protection.

Microsoft 365 Security & Identity

Identity is the new perimeter. We harden Microsoft 365 with MFA, Conditional Access, secure email, and device policies so a stolen password does not become a breach.

Multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access
Secure email and anti-phishing policies
Device compliance for Windows and mobile
Privileged access and admin role hygiene
Tied into endpoint and firewall logging
