Cyber Security
Attackers keep coming through the same three doors: a stolen password, a convincing email, an unpatched machine nobody was watching. NetSys closes those paths and watches everything else — 24/7 monitoring, endpoint detection and response, immutable backups, and training that changes what your staff clicks. Every NetSys client hit by ransomware has fully recovered. Engineers work on-site from our Brooklyn office across New York City, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and Fairfield County.
The short answer
Managed cybersecurity is a layered defense that somebody runs for you every day: 24/7 monitoring of your systems and logs, endpoint detection and response on every device, multi-factor authentication and email threat protection, offline and immutable backups with tested restores, and security awareness training for your staff. NetSys has been defending business networks since 1998, and delivers today's version of that stack from our Brooklyn headquarters, with engineers on-site across New York City, Westchester County, the lower Hudson Valley, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Every NetSys client hit by ransomware has fully recovered — a 100% record — and every agreement runs month to month.

Cyber Security FAQs
How fast do you respond to a security incident?
Immediately — our team monitors around the clock and isolates affected devices in real time. Every client also has their dedicated account manager's cell number for direct escalation, day or night.
What happens if we're hit with ransomware?
Every NetSys client hit by ransomware has fully recovered — a 100% record. We restore from offline, immutable backups using recovery procedures we test on a schedule, then close the entry point that let the attack in.
Do you work with our existing IT staff?
Yes. We can act as your complete security team or layer 24/7 monitoring, endpoint detection, and incident response on top of your internal IT — whichever split fits your organization.
Is the on-site penetration test really free?
Yes. A NetSys engineer visits your office, safely demonstrates how an attacker would get in, and hands you a prioritized fix list. You keep the findings whether or not you hire us.
Do you provide cybersecurity services in New York City?
Yes. Our office is at 1 Prospect Park SW in Brooklyn, so on-site work across the five boroughs is routine scheduling rather than a special trip. Monitoring and response run 24/7 remotely; engineers come to you for assessments, remediation, network work, and the free on-site penetration test.
Do you cover Westchester County and Fairfield County, Connecticut?
Yes. Both sit inside our on-site coverage area, which runs from the Brooklyn office up through Westchester and the lower Hudson Valley and east into Connecticut, plus New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our main line, 845-203-3914, is a Hudson Valley number. To be plain about it: we have one office, in Brooklyn. Everywhere else is coverage territory we actually drive — we don't claim satellites we don't have.
What's the difference between managed IT and managed cybersecurity?
Managed IT keeps things working — helpdesk, patching, hardware, email, backups. Managed cybersecurity keeps things defended — 24/7 monitoring, endpoint detection and response, identity and access controls, email threat protection, and incident response. We build security into every managed IT agreement rather than selling it back to you as an upgrade. You can also buy the security layer on its own if another provider handles your day-to-day IT.
We're on Microsoft 365 and it has security built in. Isn't that enough?
It's a start, not a program. A default tenant leaves legacy authentication paths open, gives most staff more access than their job needs, and retains deleted data only for a window. We harden the tenant, enforce multi-factor authentication and conditional access, layer email threat protection and endpoint detection on top, and keep an independent backup — because Microsoft's retention protects against Microsoft's failures, not yours.
What should we do first if we think we've already been breached?
Call 845-203-3914 and stop using the affected accounts. Don't delete anything, don't wipe the machine, and don't pay anyone. We isolate affected devices, establish how the attacker got in and what they could reach, restore from offline immutable backups using recovery procedures we test on a schedule, and close the entry point before anything comes back online. Every NetSys client hit by ransomware has fully recovered.
