What is cyber threat defense?
Cyber threat defense is the coordinated protection of your people, devices, email, identities, cloud services, and data against attacks. ETTE approaches it as an ongoing operating model, not a one-time product. That includes foundational controls, monitoring, email protection, identity safeguards, backup recovery planning, security awareness, posture reporting, and Virtual CISO leadership when governance or compliance needs require executive-level ownership.
What is included in cyber threat defense services?
ETTE’s cyber threat defense services include layered security controls for endpoints, email, web access, cloud identities, backups, policies, reporting, and risk governance. Services may include managed detection and response, endpoint protection, email filtering, multi-factor authentication, access reviews, backup testing, ETTE GuardRail posture scoring, and Virtual CISO support for audits, insurer questionnaires, board reporting, and risk ownership.
How do you protect against phishing and email attacks?
ETTE helps reduce phishing risk through email security, inbound threat filtering, impersonation protection, malicious attachment defense, security awareness training, and simulated phishing. Because email is often the entry point for breaches, protection is paired with user education so staff can recognize targeted scams. This creates both technical filtering and better human decision-making across the organization.
Can ETTE help with compliance and security governance?
Yes. ETTE provides Virtual CISO services for organizations that need security leadership without hiring a full-time executive. Support can include risk register ownership, policy development, vendor-risk review, evidence requests, audit coordination, insurer questionnaire support, and board/security reporting. This is especially valuable when compliance demands go beyond everyday technical controls.
ETTE GuardRail is a security posture scoring and reporting service that translates technical conditions into plain-language leadership reporting. It helps executives and boards understand where the organization stands, what risks matter most, and which improvements should be prioritized. GuardRail reporting is designed to support practical decision-making, budgeting, compliance conversations, and ongoing operational maturity.
How do you protect cloud accounts and identities?
ETTE protects cloud identities with secure account setup, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, role-based permissions, monitoring, account reviews, and clean onboarding and offboarding. These controls help ensure the right people have the right access at the right time, while reducing exposure from stale accounts, excessive permissions, and compromised credentials.
Do cyber threat defense services include backup and recovery?
Backup and recovery are essential because strong prevention cannot eliminate every risk. ETTE supports file and email backup, documented restore procedures, regular restoration testing, and clear recovery-time and recovery-point targets. This helps ensure data can be recovered after deletion, system failure, ransomware, or another disruptive event, instead of simply assuming backups will work.
Who is a good fit for ETTE cyber threat defense?
ETTE is a strong fit for nonprofits, associations, small businesses, and organizations with roughly 10–150 staff that need security-aware IT support and leadership-friendly reporting. The service is designed for teams that want documented environments, practical controls, reduced IT risk, and advisory guidance without building a large internal security department.
