Appalachia Technologies IT Services Overview
What is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)?
CMMC stands for “Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification”. The CMMC is a formal certification intended to ensure that appropriate levels of cybersecurity controls and processes are in place to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) residing on DoD contractor networks. If your business offers products and/or services to the DoD or a DoD contractor, the CMMC will apply to you.
Managed Services
Outsourced IT Overview
What is a Managed Services Provider? A managed services provider (MSP) offers management and support of IT network-based services, applications and equipment. As businesses become increasingly dependent on IT, the need for a reliable MSP that allows business owners and employees to focus on their core functions has become critical.

Managed Cybersecurity
A Good DEFENSE Never Rests – F. Lee Bailey
Cybersecurity threats are on the rise, and cybercriminals have set their sights on businesses of all sizes. The number of security breaches reported in the US has been increasing rapidly and the cost of dealing with a cybersecurity incident has only gotten more expensive.
Security Awareness Training and Simulated Phishing
Protect your organization, and your reputation, from cyber criminals by starting from the inside-out.
According to a recent study by Symantec, smaller organizations ranging from 1–250 employees have the highest targeted malicious email rate at 1 in 323. A massive 94% of malware is delivered by email. A solid firewall and spam protection are a good start, but sometimes threats can slip through even the most high-end security tools. Educating end-users is critical to preventing data breaches and other attacks.
Dark Web Monitoring
Ongoing Detection of Compromised User Credentials
The dark web is a dangerous, anonymous portion of the Internet where a lot of illegal activity happens. When a website or organization experiences a data breach, the hackers often take the stolen data and distribute (or sell) it on the dark web. Today, high-profile data breaches happen all the time, and in 2019 alone more than 5.3 billion records were exposed.
If you suspect your organization has been compromised, we can help. From rogue insiders to unknown outsider threats, Appalachia's Cybersecurity Breach Response establishes an efficient, effective and orderly response to a cybersecurity related condition(s).

Security Assessments
Get a Strategic, Unbiased Perspective on Cybersecurity Threats
The modern business environment is an increasingly complex system with many shifting pieces. Over time, new end-points are added, software is installed or changed, and policies are adjusted. Cloud services are increasingly embraced, and workforces continue to be more mobile. This can lead to exploits that online threats and cybercriminals can take advantage of.
HIPAA Security Risk Assessment
