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.
Cybersecurity Consulting
Cybersecurity is a Priority, and We Take it Very Seriously
Today, no business, regardless of size or industry, is exempt from being targeted by cybercriminals. Appalachia Technologies can provide guidance and insight to help you make confident decisions regarding your IT security. Our highly-certified cybersecurity experts are dedicated to protecting businesses of all sizes.
Penetration Testing Services
Internal & External Network Penetration Testing, Web App Penetration, and Social Engineering
Every 39 seconds there is another cyber attack. Cybercriminals are utilizing robust tools and sophisticated techniques to attack businesses and steal data. Knowing your own weaknesses is critical to preventing disaster before it is too late.
Penetration testing simulates real-world attacks which identify points of exploitation and test your defensive mechanisms. The primary goal of a penetration test is to evaluate your overall security posture.
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
Meeting and Sustaining HIPAA Compliance Requires Regular Evaluation
Protecting sensitive patient and customer data is not only ethical, it’s required. In order to maintain HIPAA compliance, your organization needs to have written policies and procedures, provide employee HIPAA security training, and perform regular compliance testing across the board.

Data Center Strategy & Consulting
Empower Your Business through Mobility and Scalability
Cloud computing offers a massive range of capabilities that were once only reserved for businesses who were prepared to make costly, and sometimes risky investments. Purchasing high-end on-premise infrastructure to handle new software, add a new set of capabilities, or to otherwise innovate your solution stack is expensive; especially if there is a risk it might not be profitable.

Survive Any Data-Loss Disaster
Data backup is a critical part of business continuity, and it only makes sense for a business to do it the right way. Disasters come in all shapes and sizes, from hardware failure, to natural disasters, to cybercrime, or unintential user error. We can help you mitigate those risks with a managed backup solution to protect your physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructure's and data.
Business Continuity
