Austin's IT Talent Shortage
For year's, hiring and retaining in-house IT employees has been a challenge for local and regional businesses operating in the Austin area. It is already normal procedure for some businesses to keep in-house IT personnel scaled back to the bare minimums required to run the organization's infrastructure and maintain technology-based productivity for other departments. The hot IT job market in Austin and relatively low supply of already-trained IT workers makes skimping on your in-house IT staff even more dangerous than it has been in the past. Retention has become a big issue, as IT workers have learned the value of moving from firm to firm with big salary increases.
We see the effects of this problem on businesses of all sizes during our managed IT services work in Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Kyle, San Marcos, Bastrop, Buda, Hutto, Waco, and Waco. More and more local firms are relying upon our Austin managed services team to take repetitive IT functions off the plates of their inhouse IT staff, and some firms have reduced to just one in-house IT coordinator to manage the relationship with our IT services team. This type of co-management structure of IT management allows us to operate as a full-service IT department and allows local businesses to plug into our wealth of IT expertise.

Cybersecurity Assessment Details
This is a complementary offer! Our managed IT services team will complete an assessment of your infrastructure. Choose one of the following assessments.
All completed assessments include a report on the findings, a meeting for explanation & review of the report, as well as a plan for mitigation with estimate by our team.
We use several protocols to discover and probe network assets. This is useful to maintain a central asset repository and helps reduce risks and shadow IT.
Our proprietary tools detect vulnerabilities in end-user devices like laptops and desktops as well as in network infrastructure, including servers, virtual machines, routers, access points, firewalls, printers, and more. We leverage several sources for gathering vulnerabilities including the NIST’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and several OEM sources.
For many customers, AD is the cornerstone of their network, holding the “keys to the kingdom” that needs to be suitably protected. Our team performs AD assessments to identify misconfigurations, weak policies, and privileged user access.
Our tools support scanning a customer’s IT infrastructure for common cybersecurity compliance standards that make up the foundation of a strong cybersecurity strategy. Currently, we analyze compliance standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR IV, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, CIS, CIS 8.0, ISO 27002, Cyber Essentials, and Essential Eight.
External scans show network weaknesses that could lead to a potential incident. External scans help detect open ports, protocols, and named vulnerabilities in public-facing network equipment such as web servers and firewalls.
All too often users inadvertently install unauthorized applications or uninstall applications mandated by corporate policy. The disparate set of applications makes it difficult for a security practitioner to manage application vulnerabilities. Our analysis includes an application baseline scan to detect anomalies in your application inventory.
Our assessment includes an Application Patching feature that lets us find & mitigate vulnerabilities in third-party Windows applications. This greatly reduces the risk exposure and helps safeguard the network from external actors.
Overall, our managed IT services are designed to free up your existing IT staff from the day-to-day inefficiencies of IT so that they can put their real time towards mission-critical company objectives.
