Proactive Protection

Locate and correct potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by criminals.

  • Block unwanted messages and keep your system free of adware, spyware, and viruses.
  • Real time analysis of clicked links to warn you if they are suspicious. If they are known to be harmful you are blocked from even accessing the website.
  • Domain spoofing protection keeps hackers from impersonating your colleagues.
  • A daily message report is sent to the end-user’s Inbox, from which messages can be released and is completely customizable through the customer portal.

  • At BMT we believe in, in-depth defense. Our protective DNS service provides another simple layer of protection for your organization by stopping PCs and servers from visiting known bad websites.
  • This can be due to a malicious link sent via email, an attempt by malware to download a trojan or a BOT calling back to its command server.
  • This protection is offered through the Antivirus software we bundle in our Endpoint Management Software or through our partnership with WebTitan.

Securely manage the accounts of users who have elevated permissions to critical, corporate resources. Automatically rotate passwords of privileged accounts. Grant temporary admin accounts that expire at a set time and monitor and record all sessions.

Cloud-based, management for configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring of the mobile devices managed by your organization.

Real-Time Detection

Identify any malicious activity that compromises the IT infrastructure, website security, and data confidentiality.

External
Probe Network defenses for exposed systems due to misconfiguration or mismanagement.

Internal
Scan all internal systems for vulnerabilities due to poor passwords, missing patches and/or firmware updates.

  • We work with 2 partners for vulnerability scanning. Coalfire for External Scans, Inspector 2 for Internal Scans.
  • Both produce reports utilizing the Common Vulnerability Scoring System which is an open industry standard for assessing the severity of computer system security vulnerabilities. CVSS assigns severity scores to vulnerabilities, allowing responders to prioritize responses and resources according to threats.
  • Without External vulnerability scanning service you won’t be alerted if a port is opened in your firewall intended to be scoped to specific IP addresses but instead is open to all.
  • Without Internal vulnerability scanning your IT resources need to manually check that that all the relevant Windows Patches have been applied. Even more time consuming they need to check the website of each Printer, IP Camera, Wireless Access Point to determine if Firmware Updates are available and need to be applied.
  • BMT’s vulnerability scanning services allow you find what patching is required and what should be done first based on severity of risk.

See threat activity on your network and among your peers.
Connect with threat intelligence sharing communities and sources and automate intel consumption. Identify potential threat activity on your network, and view everything through a user-friendly online interface.

Boost defense, not headcount
No need to increase analyst hours or staff. The Perch Security Operations Center investigates any alerts on your network, escalates real incidents to your attention, and helps you eliminate the threat. Customize what and how we escalate to fit your needs.

Detect what’s eluded your defenses
Firewalls are a perimeter defense to protect your network; Perch detects what’s already gotten through. During your lunch break, you can start detecting threats on your network.

When all your preventive measures fail, (email threat detection, AV on Firewall, Server and PCs, Security Awareness training, etc.) our preferred Network Threat Detection will alert you to any suspicious activity in your Network.

With this service, powered by Perch, a Network Sensor is installed to capture ALL traffic in and out of the firewall. Traffic is captured not only from your PCs and servers but any IOT devices which may have been compromised.

Suspicious activity is forward to the 24×7 Security Operations Center for analysis. False positives are weeded out with confirmed activity forwarded to your security response or operations teams for additional action as recommended by the SOC analysts.

All activity is logged and retained for a predetermined amount of time to meet compliance objectives which allow you to review logs after a breach to determine the extent of the breach.

  • Endpoint Detection and Response (BitDefender EDR)
    Record and store endpoint-system-level behaviors, use various data analytics techniques to detect suspicious system behavior, provide contextual information, block malicious activity, and provide remediation suggestions to restore affected systems.
  • Detect security incidents
  • Contain the incident at the endpoint
  • Investigate security incidents
  • Provide remediation guidance
  • Threat advisory service (dark web breach analysis, NJCCIC bulletins/updates)
    We’ll keep you aware of the latest threats.  Ongoing updates and education,

While your current Managed Service Provider (MSP) may claim to offer security functionality, they are likely offering only the most rudimentary easily defeatable security services by todays standards. Their measurement of success is not upon how many threats they have detected and foiled, but upon other metrics like completed projects and user support satisfaction. 

With BMT as your Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), success is measured with a vastly different set of standards, using advanced security tools, methods and the latest technologies. We’ll keep you one step ahead of the risk exposure you may have from new (and existing) cyberthreats, by providing guidance, and modern security services that typical MSPs cannot bring to the table.
