Building an In-House Security Operation Is Harder Than It Looks
90% of our engineers hold certifications across Microsoft, Cisco, Red Hat, Palo Alto and ITIL.
The Real Cost of Unmonitored Security
DowntimeMost security failures are not exotic. They happen in the gap between what an organization thinks it has and what is actually running, exposed, or already inside. That gap is where we work, before it becomes an incident, not after.
Common Challenges Businesses Face
Unknown Assets
You cannot secure what nobody documented. Asset discovery builds a live inventory of every server, switch, appliance, application, and end-user device, including the ones no current employee remembers commissioning.
Unknown Exposures
In the first week we find the same things: unsupported operating systems still in production, firmware years out of date, credentials still active for people who left, and backup jobs failing quietly.
Unknown Threats
Monitoring works against a behavioral baseline of your environment, so a deviation is flagged whether or not anyone has named the threat yet.
Unknown Response
An alert firing into an unwatched console, or a rota that depends on who's awake, isn't response. Ours runs against a mapped playbook 24/7.
Unknown Compliance Position
The gap between "aligned" and "certified" is a legal one. Evidence assembled the week before an audit is a different risk profile than evidence generated continuously.
Unknown Hardware Coverage
Existing firewalls stay in place, but that doesn't mean they're being actively watched. We manage Cisco, SonicWall, Fortinet, Juniper, Ubiquiti, and Dell as they are.
Why Security Leaders Choose Us
Over Building It In-House
Most security failures happen in the gap between what you think is running and what actually is. That's the gap we close.
Certified People, Not Certified Marketing
90% of our engineers hold certifications across Microsoft, Cisco, Red Hat, Palo Alto, and ITIL, with leadership drawn from HP, Intel, and NICE.

47 verified client reviews average 4.9 out of 5, and we mean it — ask to speak with PeakAlpha Investments or Schunk Metal directly.
Your Data Stays Under Your Control
Every client environment runs a uniquely identified agent, with data segregated per client, so nothing you run is visible to anyone else.
Your Existing Hardware Stays in Place
Cisco, SonicWall, Fortinet, Juniper, Ubiquiti, and Dell firewalls stay exactly where they are. A security program shouldn't have to start with a capital request.
Evidence, Delivered Monthly, in Writing
Patch status, access changes, incident records, backup verification, and vulnerability findings, produced as the service runs, not assembled the week before an audit.
Playbooks Built From Your Real Behavior
We run alerts manually for the first month before automating anything, so every response is built from your actual incident patterns, not a generic template.

Industries we serve
Security as a Service built around each industry’s real risk.
Healthcare
Regional health systems, community hospitals, multi-location clinics and specialty practices of 50 to 2,000 employees. HIPAA obligations require continuous monitoring rather than an annual project, patient data is a high-value target, and an EHR outage is a patient-safety event before it is an IT event. See HHS guidance on the HIPAA Security Rule.
Financial Services
Community banks, credit unions, investment firms, fintechs and accounting practices of 20 to 500 employees. SOC 2, PCI DSS and FINRA expectations need continuous maintenance, transaction systems have no downtime tolerance, and smaller institutions are targeted precisely because they are assumed to be softer.
Manufacturing, Government and Legal
Production environments where a security event becomes a production stoppage. Public-sector monitoring and legacy modernization under ITIL-aligned process. Law firms where client confidentiality is an absolute professional obligation.
Legal Services
Confidential, backed-up hosting for firms with no internal IT function of their own.
SaaS & Technology Startups
Scalable environments for project-based workloads, with build and deployment pipeline support.
Manufacturing & Logistics
Reliable infrastructure behind production systems and ERP, where downtime has a calculable cost.
Education
Secure, controlled hosting for student data and learning platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Security as a Service
Security as a service, or SECaaS, means outsourcing security monitoring, detection, response and vulnerability management to a provider who takes ongoing accountability for it. Automate IT delivers endpoint security, 24/7 threat monitoring, managed firewalls, managed SIEM, XDR and EDR, and vulnerability management under one agreement.
Three specific things. Unknown assets: asset discovery finds what is running that nobody documented. Unknown exposures: the first-week assessment surfaces unsupported systems, stale credentials and failing backups. Unknown threats: monitoring works against a behavioral baseline of your environment, so deviation is flagged without needing a signature for it.
We describe our service as compliance-aligned and are deliberately precise about it. Controls, monitoring and reporting are built to support your HIPAA obligations, and we produce the operational evidence your compliance program needs.
We monitor 24/7, and where a threat or failure type is already mapped, the response runs automatically rather than waiting for human diagnosis.
No. We manage Cisco, SonicWall, Fortinet, Juniper, Ubiquiti and Dell devices as they are. Onboarding needs credentialed remote access to the device, and our agent detects the rest.
Only you and the engineers assigned to your environment. Each client runs a uniquely identified agent and data is segregated per client. That segregation is why you receive a detailed monthly report rather than access to a shared console.
We supplement rather than replace. Most clients keep their internal IT or security lead and use us for the round-the-clock coverage no single person can sustain.
