What Is Managed Cybersecurity for Small Businesses?

Managed cybersecurity is the ongoing monitoring, detection, and response to cyber threats across your business’s devices, email, cloud accounts, and network — handled by a dedicated security team on your behalf. Instead of relying on antivirus software alone, a managed cybersecurity provider deploys multiple layers of protection and watches for threats around the clock.

Small businesses aren’t too small to be targeted. According to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of all cyberattacks target small businesses. The National Cybersecurity Alliance reports that 60% of small businesses that suffer a significant cyberattack close within six months. Charlotte is home to financial services firms, healthcare practices, and professional services companies that handle sensitive data daily — making managed cybersecurity a necessity, not an option.

What Does Netsafe Solutions Protect Against?

Netsafe Solutions uses a defense-in-depth model — multiple security layers working together so that if one layer misses a threat, the next one catches it.

SentinelOne Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

SentinelOne EDR runs on every protected device, detecting malware, ransomware, and suspicious behavior in real time. Unlike traditional antivirus that relies on known virus signatures, EDR uses behavioral analysis to catch threats that have never been seen before — including zero-day attacks and fileless malware.

How Netsafe handles endpoint security

Black Point Cyber SOC — 24/7 Managed Detection & Response

Black Point Cyber SOC is a managed security operations center that monitors SentinelOne endpoint alerts and Microsoft 365 tenant activity 24/7. When a real threat is detected, their team responds immediately — isolating compromised devices and containing attacks before they spread.

How 24/7 SOC monitoring works

Checkpoint Harmony Email Security

According to Proofpoint’s 2024 State of the Phish report, 90% of all cyberattacks begin with a phishing email. Checkpoint Harmony (formerly Avanan) scans every inbound email in your Microsoft 365 environment, blocking phishing attempts, malicious attachments, and spoofed senders before they reach your team’s inboxes.

DefensX DNS Filtering

DefensX blocks access to malicious websites, command-and-control servers, and known phishing domains at the DNS level — before a connection is ever made. If an employee clicks a bad link, DefensX stops the connection before any damage is done.

How DNS filtering protects your network

MFA & Microsoft Entra ID Management

Multi-factor authentication blocks over 99% of automated account compromise attacks, according to Microsoft’s Security Report. Netsafe Solutions deploys and manages MFA across your organization through Microsoft Entra ID, along with Conditional Access policies that control who can access what, from where, and on which devices.

Phishing Simulation & Security Awareness Training

Verizon’s 2025 DBIR found that 74% of all breaches involve the human element — phishing, stolen credentials, and social engineering. Netsafe Solutions runs ongoing phishing simulations through Black Point Cyber SOC to test your team, then provides targeted training for employees who click.

How Much Does Managed Cybersecurity Cost in Charlotte?

Netsafe Solutions bundles cybersecurity into a flat rate per device per month. Every covered device includes SentinelOne EDR, Black Point Cyber SOC 24/7 monitoring, DefensX DNS filtering, and patch management — with unlimited remote helpdesk support during business hours. There are no per-incident fees for security alerts or threat response.

Microsoft 365 security services — including Checkpoint Harmony email security, Black Point Cyber SOC M365 tenant monitoring, MFA enforcement, and Entra ID management — are billed per licensed mailbox per month. M365 licensing ranges from $7.20 to $26.40 per user per month depending on the plan.

For context, the average cost of a data breach for an SMB exceeds $200,000, according to IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report. The average ransomware payment for SMBs reached $812,000 in 2024, per Sophos’s State of Ransomware report. Managed cybersecurity is a fraction of what a single incident would cost.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cybersecurity Services Charlotte

Does my small business really need managed cybersecurity?

Yes. According to Verizon’s 2025 DBIR, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and 74% of SMBs experienced a cyberattack in the past year (Devolutions SMB IT Security Report 2024). Ransomware, phishing, and business email compromise don’t discriminate by company size. Managed cybersecurity from Netsafe Solutions gives you the same layered protection large companies deploy — SentinelOne EDR, 24/7 SOC monitoring, and email security — at a flat monthly rate.

What is the difference between antivirus and EDR?

Traditional antivirus matches files against a database of known threats. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) like SentinelOne goes further — it monitors device behavior in real time, detects suspicious activity that doesn’t match any known signature, and can automatically isolate a compromised device before malware spreads. EDR catches zero-day attacks and fileless malware that antivirus misses entirely.

What is Black Point Cyber SOC and why does Netsafe Solutions use it?

Black Point Cyber SOC is a managed security operations center that provides 24/7 human-led monitoring and response. It watches SentinelOne endpoint alerts and Microsoft 365 tenant activity across all Netsafe Solutions client environments. When a real threat is detected, Black Point’s analysts respond immediately — isolating devices, containing attacks, and escalating to our team. Netsafe Solutions chose Black Point Cyber SOC because it provides dedicated human analysts rather than automated-only alerting.

How much does managed cybersecurity cost for a small business?

Netsafe Solutions prices cybersecurity as part of a flat rate per device per month, covering SentinelOne EDR, Black Point Cyber SOC monitoring, DefensX DNS filtering, and patch management. Microsoft 365 email security is billed per mailbox. There are no per-incident fees for threat response. Most businesses tell us our rate came in lower than other Charlotte MSPs quoted. Contact Netsafe Solutions for a custom quote.

What should I do if my business is hit with ransomware?

Disconnect affected devices from the network immediately and call your IT provider. Don’t pay the ransom — the average ransomware payment for SMBs reached $812,000 in 2024 (Sophos), and paying doesn’t guarantee data recovery. Netsafe Solutions clients have SentinelOne EDR and Black Point Cyber SOC actively containing ransomware before it spreads, plus immutable offsite backups for recovery if needed.

Is my Microsoft 365 account secure by default?

No. Most unmanaged SMB Microsoft 365 tenants score below 30% on Microsoft Secure Score. Without MFA enforced, Conditional Access configured, and email security like Checkpoint Harmony layered on top, your M365 environment is exposed to account takeovers, phishing, and data exfiltration. Microsoft 365 account takeovers increased 147% in 2023 (Microsoft Digital Defense Report). Netsafe Solutions targets 70%+ Secure Score for all managed tenants.
