We are excited to announce that SolCyber has made MSSP Alert’s list of Top 250 MSSP. Fresh off our recent Series A announcement several months ago (led by major investor ForgePoint Capital), this is a testament to our efforts and commitment to be the practical and effective MSSP for the mid-market enterprise, cutting through the noise, the buzzwords and serving these organizations where they need it most.  The threat landscape has changed dramatically in the last few years, and call us […]

Nothing is more enjoyable than standing on the side of a helicopter while flying fast and aggressively. To this day, the work I accomplished during my time in the Marines is some of the most rewarding in my career. It takes discipline and calculated risk to jump into a helicopter whirling around thousands of parts made by the lowest bidder. You stay focused, understand the risk and, if possible, enjoy the heck out of the ride. Moving into the cybersecurity […]

Why you need the minimum effective dose of security When it comes to cybersecurity, companies large and small are up against the same adversaries. While the most advanced hackers would once target only large companies, hackers have started to use the same advanced techniques as part of larger campaigns. In many cases, attacks on SMBs are just as profitable, so that’s what they do. This, naturally, becomes problematic because small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) don’t have the same cybersecurity budgets […]

Since networks have existed, Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) have been taking over and monitoring security investments, offering several tiers of service to their customers.  With the rapid explosion of cyber threats, businesses that can’t afford the “platinum” coverage—we’re looking at you small and midsized businesses—are left wondering if their “basic” coverage will hold up against today’s sophisticated attackers.  At SolCyber, we don’t believe in “gold” or “platinum” coverage. We live in a new binary world…you’re either protected or you’re […]

Why SMBs need to think like a major corporation when it comes to cybersecurity Cybercrime is the fastest growing criminal activity in the U.S. and it’s predicted to cause damages totaling $6 trillion USD globally in 2021. This growing trend was only exacerbated by the 2020 pandemic where more people were working remotely and taking advantage of cloud-based systems, and hackers were more active than ever before. Criminals are on the attack—and they’re running the jungle As IT architectures become […]

Looking back 20 years, the security industry was vastly different. With so few entry points, organizations needed a two-tier firewall and an intrusion protection system to secure the perimeter of their network. Small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) could outsource their IT needs to a managed service provider (MSP), and they would receive an alert anytime an issue was detected. Managing security was a breeze. Then came the cloud, smart phones and IoT devices and the threat landscape expanded—enormously. The move […]

Welcome to SolCyber. We’re an MSSP that does things a little differently. The threat landscape has changed dramatically in the last several years. And call us crazy, but we believe new and modern threats require a new and modern approach to protection. And this approach needs to work for everyone. However, the current solutions provided by many MSPs and MSSPs, often leave small and mid-sized businesses vulnerable. So does an MSSP that believes cybersecurity should make you resilient but shouldn’t […]
