Managed Cybersecurity Services Task Force

Our team of ethical hackers, software developers, threat intelligence analysts, and network engineers work 24/7/365 on your behalf. Their daily goals are to detect and stop malicious threat actors while providing hands-on network support to your existing IT resources

Ethical Hackers

Provide information security assessments (Penetration Testing, Ransomware Attack Simulations, threatINTELLIGENCE Live Forensics) for our clients and partners and receive continuous updates for exploits and malware from the Software Development Security Operations Team (reverse-engineering) and our Threat Intelligence Analysts. This ensures that our clients are testing against the latest threats as opposed to older threats that are taught in traditional ethical hacking certification courses.

Threat Intelligence Analysts

Collect malware and malicious traffic from fake business networks (honeypots) positioned strategically around the globe that are designed to be attacked. This team analyzes those threats for anything new and novel and then passes them on to the Software Development Security Operations Team for reverse-engineering and the Ethical Hacking Team for testing.

Software Development Security Operations

Our DevSecOps Team (that’s their nickname) breaks down the newest and most complex malware from all over the world long before most in the United States have seen it. The moment they have reverse-engineered any malicious processes, those are passed back to the Ethical Hacking Team for testing and to our clients via our threatINTELLIGENCE platform to stop malicious traffic in real-time.

Bringing It All Together For You

All of the threatINTELLIGENCE that has been curated and verified is then passed back to our clients via our threatINTELLIGENCE platform to stop malicious traffic in real time. Once that malicious traffic has been blocked and identified at the local level, the 13 Layers team then passes that intelligence to other layers in our clients’ environments, like their endpoint detection and response, firewall, SIEM logs, Cloud environment, Microsoft 365 and more!

Managed Cybersecurity Testimonials

We called him (Justin) from our car and he answered right away. He put a team together after an hour and a half. The task force from 13 Layers were on top of it and they took care of us before we even had the time to speak about money. The way they approached the [process], I was sure that it would cost us much more than that…. We were able to come back to normal operations within a couple of days, and the way they handled it was amazing. It’s rare to see anybody be able to react almost immediately. We hadn’t even taken care of any money or signed anything yet, and I came in the next morning and these guys from Kentucky were already going! The box was here within 48 hours. We were able to come back to normal operations within a couple of days, and the way they handled it was amazing.   Full Video Review Here

Our company was cyber-attacked with a very sophisticated Banking Trojan Virus.  The virus attempted to gain access to our servers through our individual PC’s.  Once deployed, it was a battle for 120 straight hours to protect our data.  FINALLY,  one of our staff members pulled me aside and his exact words, “this will require a level of expertise that will far exceed 98% of the industry people you will find to rectify this issue, but I know a company in that 2% and they called 13 Layers.” Immediately, I made the call to 13 Layers at 10:00 pm at night. Within the hour, the 13 Layers team were remotely logged in working on the issue.  Within 4 hours, our main threat had been limited. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know why. I immediately hired 13 Layers. The industry knowledge, accessibility, detailed reports, and thorough explanation put my mind at ease.  I truly owe a lot more than just the bill I received from 13 Layers.
