My team of 14 cybersecurity professionals offer SIEM management, intrusion detection and prevention, endpoint defense, and 24/7 monitoring, delivered by senior practitioners who treat your infrastructure like their own. Defense that actually works protects your privacy and the privacy of those who matter to you.
Client Portal
Not every business needs a full-time SOC. Sometimes you need a clear-eyed second opinion, a one-time check, or a training session for your team. These are the standalone services we offer, priced up front, no scoping call required to get started.
Website Security Review
One-Time Assessment
A manual review of your website's configuration, exposed services, and common weak points, with a plain-language report on what we found and what to fix first.
Basic Vulnerability Scan
One-Time Assessment
An automated scan of your external footprint, network, or endpoints, reviewed by an analyst and turned into a prioritized, actionable list, not just a raw tool printout.
Security Awareness Training
Team Session
A hands-on session for your staff covering phishing, social engineering, and the everyday habits that keep a business safe. Built around real examples, not slideware.
Password Master lock and key
One-Time Implementation
We help you choose and configure a password manager and multi-factor authentication across your accounts, then walk your team through using them day to day. You would own it and it will cost you $0 in maintenance.
Penetration testing
Quarterly session
Our team of dedicated pen-testers create a scope with your business and audits your systems. We find what attackers would take advantage of and then patch and remediate any bugs we discover within the scope. At the end of the session, we'll supply your business with an executive summary, technical findings, and future guidance.
Bug bounty program
annual agreement
Students from our program would work with the scope of your business and audits your systems. The contract fee is $10, and this allows for the students to work on your application/site for a year. For every vulnerability with proof of concept the students find, a simple payment of $50 will be distributed to them for their efforts.
The Defensive Stack
Action
A team of 14 and growing manage these systems. Collectively trading shifts and using industry recognized systems to alert us alongside newer, more powerful models. With these tools and our expertise, we swarm like ants on a grasshopper in the winter when a threat arrives. Our tuning process focuses on cutting threats early, so your team's attention continue focusing on your pleasing your clients, while we focus on guarding them.
What We Offer
Our Toolkit
We work with the tools that fit your environment, not the ones that fit a vendor contract. Below is a breakdown of the platforms we deploy, tune, and operate across client engagements. But deployment is only half the job. Every tool on this list comes with training for the people who'll actually be looking at it day to day, so your team ends up understanding not just what fired, but why. We're not here to hand you a fish and leave. We're here to teach you how to fish, and to make sure someone on your team can do it without us.
Splunk Enterprise Security
Log Aggregation, Correlation, Alerting
The industry's dominant SIEM platform. We build custom correlation searches, ESCU content packs, and adaptive response actions. Our deployments include tuned risk-based alerting (RBA) frameworks that prioritize high-fidelity signals over raw volume.
Elastic SIEM (ELK Stack)
Open-Source SIEM, Log Pipeline, Detection Rules
Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana with Elastic Security for teams needing a cost-effective, highly customizable SIEM. We build detection rule sets aligned with MITRE ATT&CK and configure ML-based anomaly detection jobs for behavioral baselining.
Wireshark & Zeek
Packet Capture, Protocol Analysis, Network Logging
Wireshark for deep packet inspection and forensic traffic analysis. Zeek (formerly Bro) for high-throughput network metadata generation, connection logs, DNS queries, HTTP headers, SSL certificates, indexed and fed into the SIEM pipeline for correlation.
Suricata
Inline IDS/IPS, Signature & Behavioral Rules
High-performance, multi-threaded IDS/IPS engine deployed inline for active blocking or in passive tap mode for detection-only deployments. We maintain custom Suricata rule sets integrating Emerging Threats Pro signatures with environment-specific behavioral logic.
CrowdStrike Falcon
Endpoint Detection & Response
AI-native EDR with process tree visibility, automated containment, and threat graph correlation. We manage Falcon deployments including prevention policy tuning, custom IOA (Indicator of Attack) rules, and integration with SIEM pipelines for unified alert management.
SentinelOne Singularity
Autonomous EDR, Rollback, XDR
Autonomous threat response with behavioral AI that acts without requiring cloud connectivity. Used in environments with strict data residency requirements. We configure threat response policies, manage exclusion lists, and integrate storyline data into SIEM correlation rules.
Wazuh
Open-Source XDR, Host IDS, Compliance
Open-source, production-grade SIEM and HIDS that punches above its weight for teams with limited budgets. We deploy Wazuh agents across Linux, Windows, and macOS endpoints, configure active response rules, and build compliance dashboards for PCI-DSS and HIPAA frameworks.
Arkime (formerly Moloch)
Full Packet Capture, Indexed PCAP, Long-term Retention
Large-scale, indexed full-packet capture and search platform built by AOL/Yahoo. Arkime stores raw PCAPs searchable by IP, protocol, user agent, certificate, and more, giving incident responders the ability to reconstruct sessions from weeks prior. Underused, extremely powerful.
Rarely deployed outside enterprise SOCs
Velociraptor
Digital Forensics, Live Response, Threat Hunting
An endpoint visibility and live response platform designed specifically for incident responders and threat hunters. Velociraptor uses VQL (Velociraptor Query Language) to collect forensic artifacts, hunt for IOCs, and run live triage queries across thousands of endpoints simultaneously.
Known primarily within DFIR community
Sigma Rules Framework
Detection Rule Standard, SIEM Agnostic
Sigma is the vendor-neutral detection rule format for SIEMs, the equivalent of Snort rules for network traffic, but for log-based detection. We maintain and convert Sigma rule sets across Splunk, Elastic, and QRadar, ensuring detection content is portable and not locked to any single platform.
Widely unknown outside detection engineering teams
MISP
Open-Source Threat Intelligence Platform
Malware Information Sharing Platform, used by national CERTs and enterprise threat intelligence teams to share, store, and correlate indicators of compromise. We use MISP to feed enriched IOCs into SIEM correlation rules and automate threat intelligence ingestion pipelines.
OpenSearch Security Analytics
AWS-Native SIEM Alternative
The AWS-maintained fork of Elasticsearch with a built-in Security Analytics module. Ideal for organizations already running on AWS infrastructure. We deploy OpenSearch as both a SIEM backend and a log retention layer, integrating with Security Lake and CloudTrail for native cloud detection.
Operational Cadence
Continuous monitoring doesn't mean staring at a screen all day. It means having the right automated systems catching the right signals, with people validating, triaging, and responding at a defined cadence. Some of that cadence is built into ongoing engagements. Some of it lives in the standalone services above: the vulnerability scan, the website review, the training session, the MFA rollout, each with its own rhythm.
Where the Paid Services Fit
A Basic Vulnerability Scan works well as a one-time or quarterly check. A Website Security Review is a good annual health check, or a step before a major launch. Security Awareness Training is most effective run once or twice a year, with a refresher after any incident. Password & MFA Setup is usually a single engagement, revisited whenever you add new staff or systems.
| Activity | Frequency | Owner & Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Alert triage & initial investigation | Continuous | SOC Analyst, first eyes on every alert, decides what escalates and what closes |
| SIEM rule tuning & false positive review | Weekly | Detection Engineer, rewrites and retires rules that create noise instead of signal |
| Threat hunting, hypothesis-driven | Weekly | Senior Analyst, looks for what the automated rules would miss entirely |
| IDS/IPS signature update & validation | Bi-weekly | Detection Engineer, keeps blocking rules current without breaking legitimate traffic |
| EDR policy review & exclusion audit | Monthly | EDR Admin, checks that endpoint policies still match how the business actually works |
| Full detection coverage gap analysis | Monthly | Lead Analyst, maps what's watched against what's changed in the environment |
| Executive security posture report | Monthly | Account Lead, translates the month's activity into plain language for leadership |
| Purple team exercise (offense vs defense) | Quarterly | Joint Team, tests whether the defenses actually hold up against a live attempt |
Teaching Process
Every engagement follows the same teaching arc, no matter which tools are involved. It's a model borrowed straight from the classroom: the gradual release of responsibility. We start by doing the work in front of you, and we end with your team doing it without us in the room. The goal isn't to make ourselves indispensable. It's to improve our community.
I Do: Discovery & Setup
We inventory your log sources, network, and endpoints, and set up the stack ourselves. Your team watches and asks questions, but nothing depends on them yet.
I Do, We Talk: Modeling the Work
We build the first detection rules, triage the first alerts, and narrate our reasoning out loud, not just what we're doing but why, so the logic behind the tool is visible instead of hidden inside our heads.
We Do: Working Side by Side
Your team takes the first pass on tuning, triage, or configuration, with us right there to correct course. This is where the tools stop being ours and start being yours.
You Do, We Watch: Supervised Practice
Your team runs the process independently while we observe and review. We step in only when something's genuinely off, not to take over.
You Do, Alone: Ongoing Autonomy
Your team owns the day-to-day. We stay reachable for the harder cases, quarterly reviews, and whatever changes as your environment grows, but the tools are no longer a mystery to the people using them.
Whether you need a single review, a training session for your team, or an ongoing partnership, we start with a conversation about what you actually have and what you're trying to protect.
