Managed Cybersecurity

Detection without response is just a record of what happened

Most organizations have tooling that generates alerts. Far fewer have anyone watching those alerts at 2am on a Sunday, and fewer still have someone authorized to act on one. That gap between detection and response is where most incidents become breaches. AIS Managed Cybersecurity closes it.

Short answer

Managed Cybersecurity is around-the-clock monitoring, human investigation and active containment of threats across your endpoints, cloud, identity and network. AIS delivers Managed Cybersecurity on contract terms where renewal is your decision, never automatic.

What we deliver

Six pieces of coverage, working together

24/7/365 monitoring

Continuous coverage across endpoints, network and cloud, with no gap at nights, weekends or holidays.

Human triage

Alerts are investigated by analysts, not just scored and forwarded. You hear from us about the things that matter and you do not hear from us about the things that do not.

Active response and containment

When something is confirmed, we isolate and contain it rather than sending a notification and waiting.

Threat hunting

Proactive searching for indicators that did not trigger an alert.

Reporting and compliance support

Documentation and evidence for audits, cyber insurance requirements and regulatory obligations.

Integration with your managed services

For AIS managed services clients, detection and response sit on top of an environment we already know, which is the difference between an alert and an answer.

Coverage

What we monitor

Attackers do not confine themselves to endpoints, so neither does the coverage. AIS Managed Cybersecurity watches across the places compromise actually starts and spreads.

Endpoint and server

Workstations, laptops and servers, on the network and off it.

Cloud and container environments

Public cloud infrastructure and containerised workloads, including the configuration drift that quietly opens exposure over time.

Identity

Authentication and access activity. Most modern intrusions arrive through valid credentials rather than malware, which makes identity the highest-signal place to be watching.

SaaS and email

The applications your business actually runs on, and the inbox, still the most common initial entry point.

Network

Traffic and lateral movement between segments.

Managed SIEM

If you already own a SIEM, we take on the detection engineering and tuning rather than leaving it as a log archive nobody maintains.

How it works

It works with what you already own

No rip-and-replace. AIS Managed Cybersecurity integrates with the security and infrastructure tooling already in your environment across a wide range of platforms, so the investment you have made stays in place and starts producing signal instead of noise. If there are genuine gaps in coverage, we will say so plainly rather than quietly building around them.

Detection engines and automation handle volume. They do not handle judgment. Confirmed activity is investigated by analysts who can see the full context of your environment and are authorised to contain rather than notify.

People, not just tooling

Automation decides what deserves a human.

A human decides what to do about it.

Fit

Who this is for

Organizations that hold regulated or sensitive data, that have compliance or cyber insurance requirements to satisfy, or that have security tooling generating alerts nobody has the capacity to work. Life sciences, healthcare, financial institutions, utilities and multi-site organizations are the most common fit.

Common questions

Before you ask

What is the difference between Managed Cybersecurity and antivirus or EDR?

Antivirus and EDR generate alerts. Managed Cybersecurity adds people who investigate those alerts around the clock and are authorized to contain a confirmed threat. The gap between detection and response is where most incidents become breaches.

Do we have to replace the security tools we already own?

No. AIS Managed Cybersecurity integrates with tooling you already have where it makes sense, and fills the gaps where coverage is missing.

What does Managed Cybersecurity actually cover?

Endpoint and server, cloud and container workloads, identity, SaaS and email, network traffic, and managed SIEM.

Will Managed Cybersecurity help with cyber insurance?

Increasingly insurers require detection and response capability before they will quote, and verify it before they pay a claim. Managed Cybersecurity gives you something concrete to point to.

How quickly can Managed Cybersecurity be in place?

A transition can be completed with no gap in coverage. AIS has moved a federally regulated transportation hub with more than 1,250 monitored endpoints without a single uncovered day.
