Just as many of us have security-cameras in and around our homes, your network requires the same/expanded “persistent-recorded-view” of all relevant hardware and/or software, anchoring your critical day-to-day operations. A Managed-Security-Plan places advanced hardware & software in a client’s network infrastructure that’s capable of monitoring anomalies and/or variances leading to a possible security-breach; real-time scans include not only physical IT-assets, but also human-behavioral changes…all recorded through system-logs that the coverage captures & parses…so you don’t have to. Plans are customized and made available at affordable, monthly fees allowing organizations to focus on their business/service-mission, not worrying about Cyber-Threats.
A comprehensive review of your District’s current Cyber Risk as it relates to potential “Attack-Surfaces” that could lead to possible compromise. The report includes a seven-layer Defense-in-Depth analysis that results in reducing the risk of a cybersecurity incident, limiting the exposure & damage should an incident occur, creating a “culture of security awareness” and aligning with required compliance regulations. Mercadien offers levels of our Risk Assessment based on the number of schools a district has within its footprint.
A fully staffed team of certified Risk Mitigation, Analysis & Incident Response experts, operating out of a centrally-managed Operations Center…coordination of resources are assembled and deployed in a well-orchestrated methodology to meet or exceed the Cyber Threat Management needs of Districts and Schools throughout the region.
Senior-level Engagement Managers that document & communicate with District and School leadership throughout whatever project Mercadien’s team has been retained for.

Mercadien can also examine the Data Forensics involved in the origin of the threat, assisting with Threat Cause and facilitation of any Cyber Insurance Claims.
