Security at every stage. Confidence at every level.

One partner for the full security lifecycle.

Adapt your defenses for an AI world.

Attackers are using the same AI tools you’re evaluating. Ransomware variants are outpacing legacy defenses. Regulators keep raising the bar. As security teams are asked to do more with less, a tough job keeps getting even harder.

“You can’t AI your way out of a weak foundation. If your data is wrong, AI proliferates that bad data faster than anything we’ve seen before. If your access controls are loose, AI exposes that gap at machine speed.”

Premier SaaS provider

Where they started

The client, a premier Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, was growing rapidly but struggled with effective log collection, impeding threat correlation. They needed a managed security operations center (SOC) service to gather logs and respond to threats promptly. The client also needed effective vulnerability management and patching.

With a small team focused on product development, they lacked resources for comprehensive patch management, alerting, and response. Their tools are designed to enhance workflow and boost financial performance for law firms while seamlessly integrating client, practice, and financial management, fostering effective relationship building and knowledge sharing.

The foundation we built together

CBTS performed a holistic analysis that indicated a managed detection and response (MDR) solution would be the best match for the client's needs. The MDR solution is designed to protect organizations from cyber threats along with a robust log collection system and a disaster recovery solution. This solution covered both vulnerability management and Patching-as-a-Service (PaaS), ensuring the client's security needs were met thoroughly and effectively.

What they’re building now

The solution included streamlined alerts, detailed reporting, regular readouts, and weekly synchronization meetings, ensuring that the client was continually informed and engaged throughout the process and into the future. This resulted in smoother, secure operations and allowed the client to focus on their business outcomes. The client enjoys peace of mind in a secure, patched environment with vital information readily available.

Global manufacturer

Where they started

A global manufacturer was preparing to launch a new internet-connected robotic device for use inside consumers’ homes. Leadership was concerned that the device’s software might contain backdoors or other vulnerabilities that attackers could use to spy on people through built-in microphones and cameras. With the IoT product about to hit store shelves, the manufacturer wanted to protect its customers and its reputation in the market.

The foundation we built together

CBTS engaged as ethical hackers, putting the IoT device through extensive penetration testing. Our team deconstructed the Android application piece by piece to confirm no secret keys had been left in the code that could grant access to thousands of devices in the field. We inspected the device-to-cloud communications to verify that sensitive data could not be intercepted. And we identified a hidden HTTP server running on the device itself: an entryway that had to be closed before it gave attackers access to the robot’s internal file structure and operating system.

From contract to final report took one month, with the deep-dive testing completed in just seven days. Rather than handing over a 300-page automated data dump, CBTS delivered a concise report with four to five critical, easy-to-fix recommendations. The testing also surfaced that the device was running a seven-year-old operating system, which the client was able to modernize before launch.

What they’re building now

With a hardened device and modernized operating system in place, the manufacturer can launch the product with confidence and keep building on that foundation as the portfolio of IoT products grows.

Why CBTS?

Enterprise scale with real flexibility

Most organizations outgrow their technology partners before they outgrow their technology. CBTS is built to scale with you. We offer the breadth of capability and depth of resources to handle complexity at any size, without the rigidity that usually comes with it.

Deep expertise, reliably delivered

Knowing the answer isn’t enough. CBTS combines technical depth across every major solution area with the processes, people, and accountability to deliver on what we promise. And we do so consistently, not just on the first engagement.

Partnership that goes the distance

Technology needs change. Business priorities shift. You need a partner that stays by your side when they do. With average client tenure of 15+ years, CBTS is built for the long term. No matter what challenges arise, we stay invested in your business outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

What are managed security services, and does my organization need them? Managed security services are outsourced cybersecurity solutions in which a specialized provider monitors, manages, and responds to threats on behalf of an organization — typically around the clock. Organizations of all sizes benefit from managed security services, but they are especially valuable for those that lack the internal staff, budget, or expertise to maintain a 24x7 security operations center (SOC). CBTS managed security services include continuous threat monitoring, managed detection and response (MDR/XDR), endpoint protection, and vulnerability management — freeing internal IT teams to focus on strategic priorities while ensuring security gaps are covered by certified professionals.
How do cybersecurity solutions help protect against AI-powered threats and ransomware? AI-powered threats — including automated phishing campaigns, deepfake social engineering, and AI-assisted ransomware — are designed to move faster and evade traditional defenses. Effective cybersecurity solutions counter these threats through a combination of proactive hardening (reducing the attack surface before incidents occur), AI-enabled threat detection (identifying anomalous behavior in real time), and rapid incident response (containing and recovering from breaches quickly). CBTS addresses AI-driven threats through our full cybersecurity lifecycle framework — including penetration testing, vulnerability management, managed EDR/XDR, and a 24x7 SOC — backed by AI-enabled platforms designed to keep pace with an evolving threat landscape.
What is a virtual CISO, and when should an organization consider one? A virtual CISO (vCISO) is a contracted security leader who provides the strategic guidance, risk management, and compliance oversight of a full-time Chief Information Security Officer — without the cost and commitment of a permanent hire. Organizations should consider a vCISO when they lack senior security leadership, are facing a regulatory audit or compliance deadline, need to build or mature a formal security program, or are navigating a specific security challenge such as a cloud migration or incident response. CBTS virtual CISO services provide access to experienced security executives who work with organizations of all sizes to develop risk-based security strategies, oversee policy and governance, and help build programs aligned to frameworks such as NIST.
How does CBTS approach cybersecurity assessments, and what does the process look like? A CBTS cybersecurity assessment begins with a detailed evaluation of an organizations current security environment — examining practices, policies, controls, and the existing technology stack to identify gaps that put data and assets at risk. From there, CBTS provides objective, standards-based guidance on improving the security program and recommends a prioritized roadmap of technology and services to address identified vulnerabilities. Assessments may include an AI Risk Assessment, Compliance Risk Assessment, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning, depending on the organizations needs. The goal is not a one-time report, but a clear, actionable plan that helps organizations build a stronger, more resilient security posture over time.
