Our Managed Security Services

DeepSeas combines continuous monitoring, response, testing, advisory, and compliance support into a connected security program.

Managed Detection Response

DeepSeas MDR provides 24/7 detection and response across endpoint, network, cloud, identity, email, SaaS, and OT environments. Analysts investigate alerts, tune detection logic, and work within the tools your organization already owns.

Managed SIEM Services

Managed SIEM operations include detection engineering, tuning, investigation, and response. DeepSeas can operate within your existing SIEM or provide SIEM capabilities with ingestion and storage included.

Network Detection Response

Network Detection & Response adds visibility into lateral movement, command and control, data staging, unmanaged devices, legacy systems, industrial equipment, and other environments where endpoint agents may not be installed.

Exposure Management

Exposure Management continuously maps external attack surfaces, monitors dark web sources, identifies leaked credentials, and prioritizes vulnerabilities by exploitability, asset criticality, and current threat activity.

Security Risk Assessments

DeepSeas evaluates information security programs, assets, controls, processes, and people to identify prioritized risks, clarify treatment options, and provide a defensible foundation for security decisions.

Strategic Security Advisory

Senior advisors help security and business leaders set direction, consolidate tools, prepare for board or insurer review, build roadmaps, and make practical decisions around cybersecurity risk and investment.

Expert-Led Cyber Defense

Connected Protection For Modern Organizations

DeepSeas brings monitoring, response, testing, exposure reduction, compliance, and advisory together instead of leaving your team to coordinate disconnected providers. For Chicago organizations managing complex business environments and evolving cyber risk, the program can work with existing SIEM, EDR, and CNAPP tools while connecting operational findings to prioritized action. The result is clearer accountability, stronger visibility, and measurable progress.
