Managed Cybersecurity Services
We don't just install antivirus and call it done. Managed cybersecurity is an ongoing service that adapts as threats evolve.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Business-grade protection on every computer that watches for suspicious behavior—not just known viruses—and stops attacks in real time.
Email Security & Phishing Protection
Filters that block malicious emails before they reach your team. We also run simulated phishing tests to train employees on what to watch for.
24/7 Threat Monitoring
Your network and devices monitored around the clock. Alerts and response when something looks wrong—not days later.
Vulnerability Scanning
Regular scans of your network and systems to find open doors before attackers do. We then prioritize and fix what we find.
Dark Web Monitoring
We check the dark web for your business email addresses and passwords. If your credentials show up in a breach, we alert you immediately.
Security Awareness Training
Monthly training and phishing simulations for your whole team. The best firewall is a well-trained employee.
Incident Response Planning
A written plan for what to do if you're hit. Who to call, what to do first, how to minimize damage. Most businesses don't have this.
Compliance Support
HIPAA, PCI, and other regulatory requirements mapped to real security controls. We document everything for audits.
Security Assessments
A full review of your current security posture: what you have, what you're missing, and what to fix first.

Common Questions About Cybersecurity in Montana
Do Montana small businesses really need cybersecurity?
Yes. Montana businesses are targeted by ransomware, phishing, business email compromise, and data theft. Small businesses are often preferred targets because defenses are usually weaker.
What does managed cybersecurity include?
Managed cybersecurity typically includes endpoint detection and response, 24/7 monitoring, phishing protection, vulnerability scanning, patch management, and incident response planning.
How is a Montana cybersecurity company different from a national firm?
Local providers understand the regional business environment, can support on-site needs, and work directly with business owners and teams in Montana.
What is the biggest cybersecurity risk for Montana small businesses?
Phishing and business email compromise are still top risks because a single credential theft can expose email, files, contacts, and payment workflows.
Do you offer a cybersecurity assessment?
Yes. PBM offers a practical security assessment that identifies priority risks and the next improvements to make.
