Managed Security Services —
Westchester, NY

Cybersecurity is not a product you buy once — it's an ongoing practice of monitoring, response, and adaptation. Corstar delivers managed security services that actively protect Westchester businesses from evolving threats, 24/7.

Why Point-in-Time Security Tools Aren't Enough

Buying an antivirus program in 2026 is like buying a smoke detector for a building that has already caught fire. Modern threats are active, adaptive, and specifically designed to evade point-in-time security tools. You need ongoing monitoring and response — not just protection software.

Managed Security Services — What's Included

Our managed security stack covers every major attack surface for a Westchester small or mid-size business — endpoints, email, network perimeter, identity, and data.

Managed EDR

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) replaces traditional antivirus with behavior-based threat detection that catches sophisticated malware, ransomware, and fileless attacks that signature-based tools miss.

Email Security

Advanced anti-phishing, anti-spam, and business email compromise (BEC) protection. Safe Links rewrites URLs in real time. Safe Attachments detonates suspicious files before they reach your inbox.

Managed Firewall

Next-generation firewall management — rules, policies, threat signatures, and firmware — actively managed and updated rather than configured once and forgotten.

Identity & Access

Multi-factor authentication deployment, conditional access policies, privileged account management, and dark web monitoring for compromised credentials across your organization.

DNS Filtering

Block malicious domains, command-and-control servers, and inappropriate content at the DNS layer — before any malicious content reaches your devices.

Incident Response

When a security event occurs, our team responds — contain the threat, preserve evidence, remediate affected systems, and restore normal operations as quickly as possible.

Security Awareness Training — Your People Are the Perimeter

No technical control stops a trained employee from clicking a phishing link. And no firewall prevents an employee from giving their password to someone posing as IT support.

Corstar's managed security services include ongoing employee security awareness training — simulated phishing campaigns, targeted education, and quarterly reporting on your organization's security culture.

Employees who have completed security awareness training are dramatically less likely to fall for phishing attacks. We make training ongoing and relevant — not a one-time checkbox.

Security Awareness Program Includes

  • Simulated phishing campaigns — realistic, not punishing
  • Targeted training modules for employees who click
  • Quarterly reporting on click rates and improvement over time
  • Dark web monitoring — we alert you when employee credentials appear in breach databases
  • Security policy acknowledgment tracking
  • Executive reporting on security culture metrics

Managed Security for Compliance

  • HIPAA technical safeguards implementation
  • NY DFS Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500) controls
  • SOC 2 security control implementation
  • Cyber insurance requirement documentation
  • Annual security risk assessments
  • Audit logging and evidence collection

Managed Security That Satisfies Regulators and Insurers

HIPAA, the NY DFS Cybersecurity Regulation, and cyber insurance underwriters all require documented, ongoing security controls — not a one-time security assessment. Our managed security services produce the logs, reports, and documentation that compliance audits and insurance applications require.

If you're applying for or renewing cyber insurance, ask us about our compliance documentation package. See our data compliance services →

Managed Security FAQs

Managed IT services cover all aspects of your technology — help desk, patch management, cloud administration, hardware support, and cybersecurity. Managed security services focus specifically on the security stack: threat monitoring, endpoint protection, email security, firewall management, and incident response. At Corstar, managed security is built into every managed IT plan — not a separate service you need to purchase on top.
Our endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform provides continuous, automated threat monitoring and response — 24/7/365. The EDR platform can automatically isolate an infected device from the network before our engineers even see the alert. For clients requiring dedicated human security operations center (SOC) coverage, we offer enhanced security tiers. Ask about SOC coverage during your assessment.
The most common response from businesses that have experienced a significant breach is that they thought it couldn't happen to them. Small and mid-size businesses are actively targeted by cybercriminals precisely because they are perceived as having weaker defenses than large enterprises. The question isn't whether your business is a target — it's whether you have the controls in place to detect and respond when an attack happens.
