Install & Configure

Making security intrinsic to your network environment is our ultimate goal, and if your staff needs help with deploying or migrating a new technology or network design, iON is ready to assist. Our expert team is certified on our vendor partners’ technologies and can rapidly implement your solution from the planning and design stages through to deployment, validation, and knowledge transfer. The end result is an accelerated time to value (TTV) on your cybersecurity investment and adherence to best practices.

Tune & Optimize

Purchasing a robust technology is a great first step, but without the right configuration tuned specifically to your environment, your organization will not realize the full potential of your cybersecurity investments. iON offers Optimization,  Health Check and Best Practice Assessment services ranging from Next-Gen Firewalls to Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) systems that ensure that every applicable feature of your solution is enabled, functioning properly, and tuned for maximum performance and endurance. Our team diagnoses your configuration settings, logs, and infrastructure to determine the current state of system utilization and overall platform hardening versus best practices. At the conclusion of the engagement, we provide a comprehensive report on our findings that clearly articulates any identified deficiencies and offers a detailed set of recommendations to resolve them.

Operate & Manage

iON’s approach to managed services focuses on augmenting the capabilities of your senior staff while preserving the organizational context that is critical to an effective cybersecurity practice. We understand that every environment has different support needs, so we tailor our managed services to match your requirements, not our bottom line.

We manage the aspects of your cybersecurity practice that you choose, including day-to-day operations, system patching/updating, disaster recovery, RMA assistance, advanced technical assistance, health checks, and tuning & optimization. Every service we perform adheres to both leading cybersecurity frameworks and your organization’s own protocols, ensuring peace of mind for your management and more time for your internal IT staff.

iON makes IT Service Management (ITSM) as transparent as possible, ensuring you have a clear view into the systems we support while maintaining open lines of communication with your organization. Our monitoring tools alert you of any anomalies that could impact your business and we issue customized monthly reports to provide the most relevant information to your team.
