Software vulnerabilities are one of the top cyber-attack vectors and one in three breaches are the result of vulnerabilities that were known about and should have been already patched¹. 

Keeping operating systems and application software patched and secure is time consuming and tedious – an internal IT resource nightmare. Fortress’ Guardian Managed Patching with Monitoring Service delivers automated, high-efficacy (97%+) updates to Microsoft and over 80 third-party software, ensuring efficient patch deployment to every device, whether on or off network. This includes the deployment of critical updates, security updates, feature updates, operating system upgrades, key Windows security setting and configurations. 

The Fortress real-time reporting console includes current patch levels of devices and gives the Client total visibility into what patch related activities have been performed, while real-time patch monitoring provides deep insight into approved, unapproved, pending, and failed patching efforts.

Fortress’ Sentinel Managed EDR Service combines 24/7/365 U.S. based expert monitoring with industry-leading next-gen, AI driven, behavioral endpoint protection and threat hunting software to protect employees and their data wherever they are. 

EDR provides more complete awareness of devices in your technology environment than antivirus tools, which only protect against known malware signatures. EDR is designed to detect and protect against malware, credential and login theft, phishing attempts, and other advanced security threats. EDR uses analytics to identify patterns and detect suspicious behavior, prevent malicious activity, and provide remediation to compromised devices. It also improves response time by storing behavioral data for future analysis.

Fortress’ Sentinel managed solution includes a fully featured two-way firewall, intrusion detection, anti-phishing, web filtering, and user application control. Sentinel provides simple remote deployment by device or device group, ensuring bandwidth-friendly mass rollout and signature file updates. Centralized monitoring unifies the information of all protected devices allowing our Security Operations Center to take action in real-time, adhering to the Client’s prescribed remediation and escalation plan.

Rapid backup recovery in the event of a security breach can mean the difference between minimal or disabling business disruption. Resiliency is the hallmark of Fortress’ Vault Managed Backup Service. Utilizing industry leading software and centrally managed from Fortress’ expert-manned, wholly owned, U.S. based Security Operations Centers, Vault Managed Backup Services protects from a ransomware attack, a failed hardware device, or a malicious insider. 

Four tenets of proper a backup strategy:

• Determine what data should be backed up.
  Yes, backing up everything would be ideal, but probably not possible, so every organization should decide what data is critical for survival, what data is needed to operate, and what data would be nice to have.
• Determine how often data should be backed up.
  A good rule of thumb is that backups should be done at least every 24 hours.
• Determine how your data will be backed up.
  Will you be doing a complete data backup, or incremental backup, where only changes are copied? Will your backup be done on a storage device on-premises, or in the cloud, or both? How will you ensure your backup data cannot be encrypted? Is it air gapped? Is it immutable?
• Test your backup and restore process.
  When your backup process and system is in place, test it on a regular basis to ensure that it successfully backs up your data, and that data restores are done accurately. One key metric to cyber safety is Mean Time to Recovery – how long will it take to get your systems back online using your backups?

Fortress can help with all of this.
