ClearMax security engineer monitoring firewall dashboards and endpoint protection

This is what a bad Friday looks like. 4:52 PM. Every file locked.

4:52 A bookkeeper opens an “invoice.” Nothing visible happens.
5:07 File names start changing across the shared drive.
5:19 Every desktop shows the same note: pay, or lose it all.
5:20 Phones, email, job files, payroll — all of it, locked.

That whole chain needed exactly one unprotected machine. Here is what stands in the way when ClearMax runs your security:

Email security quarantines the invoice before anyone can open it.
Managed EDR on every desktop kills the encryption process on machine one.
Firewall rules block the callout to the attacker’s server.
MFA stops the stolen password from becoming a stolen network.
Isolated, tested backups mean that even the worst case is a restore — not a ransom.

Ransomware attack locking a company out of its files

End-to-end means every layer, not one product

Security tools that nobody manages are just expensive icons. Every layer below is installed, configured, monitored, and owned by us.

Desktop & Endpoint

Managed protection on every machine

Enterprise EDR/antivirus on every desktop, laptop, and server — monitored 24/7, patched on schedule, drives encrypted, USB policy enforced. When a machine misbehaves, we know before you do.

Firewall Support

Next-gen firewall, actually managed

We install and support business-class firewalls — Fortinet, WatchGuard, Cisco and more — with tuned rules, VPN, intrusion prevention, content filtering, and firmware kept current. Already own one? We take over its care.

Email Security

Stop phishing before the click

Advanced filtering, spoofing and impersonation defense, link protection, and staff awareness training — because 9 out of 10 breaches start in an inbox.

Backup & Recovery

Ransomware-proof restore points

Encrypted offsite backups with isolated copies attackers can’t reach, and restore tests on a schedule — so recovery is a procedure, not a prayer.

Identity & MFA

Passwords alone don’t cut it

MFA rollout across email, VPN, and critical apps, least-privilege access reviews, and offboarding that actually closes accounts the day someone leaves.

Vendor Management

We own your security vendors

Licensing, renewals, RMAs, support tickets, escalations — for your firewall, EDR, email security, and backup platforms. One call to us replaces hours on hold with four different vendors.

Vendor-neutral by design — we recommend what fits your size and budget, and we manage what you already own. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Vendor management is part of the service — not an upsell

Most businesses end up with a firewall from one vendor, antivirus from another, email security from a third — and nobody accountable for the whole picture. When something breaks, you’re the one on hold.

One throat to choke: we hold the relationship with every security vendor in your stack.
Licensing & renewals: tracked, negotiated, and renewed before they lapse — no surprise expirations.
Support & escalations: we open the tickets, chase the engineers, and translate the answers.
Lifecycle planning: end-of-life hardware and versions flagged and budgeted a year out, not the week they fail.

Put One Team In Charge

How we lock your business down

Assess

Free security assessment — endpoints, firewall, email, backups, identity — mapped against real-world attacks and your cyber-insurance questionnaire.

Plan

A prioritized remediation roadmap in plain English: what’s exposed, what it takes to fix, and in what order. Flat, itemized — no scare-tactic quotes.

Harden

We deploy and configure the stack — EDR on every machine, firewall tuned, email filtered, backups isolated, MFA enforced — with minimal disruption to your team.

Manage

24/7 monitoring, monthly patching, quarterly reviews, and full vendor management. Security becomes something you check on — not something you worry about.

Cybersecurity questions, straight answers

What Columbus and Nashville business owners ask us most.

Yes — this is one of the most common reasons companies call us. Insurers now require MFA, endpoint detection and response (EDR), tested backups, and email security before they will write or renew a policy. Our security assessment maps your environment directly against your insurer’s questionnaire, and we remediate the gaps.

Not necessarily. If your existing tools are solid — Fortinet, RSA, Check Point Harmony, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Sophos and similar — we keep them, take over management, licensing, and vendor support, and fill only the gaps. If something is end-of-life or underpowered, we will tell you plainly and quote a replacement.

Call us immediately. We isolate infected machines, preserve evidence, assess spread, and restore from clean, isolated backups. This is exactly why our stacks always include tested, offsite, isolated backup copies — recovery is designed in before an incident, not improvised after one.

No — we are vendor-neutral. We work with Fortinet, RSA, Check Point Harmony, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Sophos, WatchGuard, Bitdefender, Microsoft Defender, Proofpoint, KnowBe4, Datto and others. We recommend what fits your size and budget, and we manage whatever you already own.

Attackers automate — they don’t check company size before encrypting your files. A right-sized stack for a 10-person office looks very different from an enterprise deployment, and that’s the point: we scale the layers to your actual risk, so you get real protection without enterprise pricing.

One breach costs more than a decade of protection.

Get a free security assessment — we map your exposure across endpoints, firewall, email, backups, and identity, and hand you a prioritized fix list. No obligation, no scare tactics.

No obligation. We respond within 1 business hour during business hours, and we never share your information with third parties.
