Managed Security Services in Reno, NV
Reno Cybersecurity Company is a managed security services provider (MSSP) for businesses in Reno, Sparks and Carson City. We operate your SIEM, deploy EDR on every endpoint, and our SOC team monitors and responds to threats 24/7/365 through managed detection and response. Email security, zero trust access, incident response and vCISO guidance are included, all for one per-user monthly price with no contract.
The security stack, plus the people who watch it.
Tools alone do not stop attacks. An unmonitored EDR console or a SIEM nobody reads is a record of what went wrong, not protection. A managed security service pairs each tool with analysts who act on it.
Managed SIEM
Security information and event management collects logs from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, firewalls, servers and endpoints, then correlates them so a suspicious login followed by a mailbox rule change reads as one incident, not two ignored alerts.
EDR and 24/7 MDR
Endpoint detection and response records what every process does on every device. Our managed detection and response analysts investigate the alerts at any hour and can isolate an infected machine from the network.
Zero trust architecture
Every sign-in is verified against identity, device health and location. MFA, conditional access and least-privilege permissions mean a stolen password alone does not get an attacker in.
Security awareness training
Phishing is still how most attacks begin. Monthly micro-lessons and simulated phishing emails train your staff to spot and report the message that gets past the filters.
Vulnerability management
Regular scanning of your internal network and internet-facing systems, with each finding ranked by exploitability so the urgent fixes happen first. Included in SecurityPlus.
Email security
Filtering, impersonation protection and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace hardening that stop phishing and business email compromise. Included in every plan.
Incident response
When an alert turns into an incident, our SOC moves straight into containment, investigation and recovery, and documents everything for your insurer. Included in every plan.
vCISO guidance
A virtual chief information security officer who reviews risk with you, keeps your policies current and owns the security roadmap. Included in every plan.
Zero trust network access
Zero trust network access (ZTNA) replaces the always-on VPN with per-application access, managed by us as part of zero trust network management. Included in SecurityPlus.
MDR vs SOC vs SIEM vs antivirus.
Vendors use these terms loosely. Here is what each one does and who acts on it.
| Component | What it does | Who acts on it | In our plans |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antivirus | Blocks known malware by signature | Nobody; it runs on its own | Replaced by EDR |
| EDR | Records endpoint behavior, detects and can isolate threats | Whoever watches the console | Security and SecurityPlus |
| SIEM | Collects and correlates logs across systems | Analysts reviewing alerts | Security and SecurityPlus |
| SOC | The team and process that monitors and responds | Security analysts | Our SOC, 24/7/365 |
| MDR | An outside SOC that detects and responds for you | Our analysts, on your behalf | Security and SecurityPlus |
What happens when an alert fires at 2 a.m.
Here is how our SOC team handles a common attack, any hour of any day: a phished Microsoft 365 password used from overseas.
Detect
The SIEM flags a sign-in from an unfamiliar country minutes after the same user signed in from Reno, followed by a new inbox forwarding rule.
Investigate
An analyst checks the session, the device and recent mailbox activity to confirm this is an account takeover and not travel.
Contain
We revoke the session, reset credentials, remove the forwarding rule and block the source. If EDR shows a device involved, we isolate it.
Report
You and your IT provider get a plain-English summary: what happened, what we did and what to change. Serious incidents move into our incident response process.
The math on building your own security team.
Round-the-clock monitoring takes several full-time analysts to cover every shift, vacations and sick days, before you buy a single tool. Most businesses under a few hundred employees cannot justify that, which is exactly why MSSPs exist.
| Feature | In-house security team | Our Security plan |
|---|---|---|
| 24/7 coverage | Multiple full-time analysts across shifts | Included |
| SIEM, EDR, training platforms | Licensed and managed separately | Included |
| Monthly cost | Salaries, benefits and tooling | 25 users x $100 = $2,500 |
| Contract | Employment commitments | None, month-to-month |

Signs your business needs an MSSP.
- Nobody reviews security alerts after 5 p.m. or on weekends.
- Your cyber insurance renewal asked about MDR, EDR or MFA and you were not sure how to answer.
- You hold patient, client or financial records covered by HIPAA or the FTC Safeguards Rule.
- You supply a defense contractor and need to show CMMC readiness.
- Your IT provider is excellent at IT but does not run a 24/7 security operation.
We secure. Your IT provider supports.
We are a security-only provider. We do not take over your help desk, your hardware or your software licensing. Your IT company or in-house IT person keeps doing that work, and we share alerts, findings and fix lists with them.
That split is common across healthcare practices, financial services firms and law firms, where regulators expect someone accountable for security specifically. Businesses outside Reno get the same coverage, including managed security in Sparks.
