Flexible by design
CTEKS does not force every customer into one technology stack. We maintain a proven managed services and cybersecurity toolset while also supporting and integrating technologies already deployed in your environment. Your final technology stack is determined by your infrastructure, security requirements, licensing, compliance requirements, selected services and service level agreement. Where it makes sense we standardize and consolidate, and we do not unnecessarily replace good technology you already have. Not every technology listed on this site is included in every CTEKS plan.
Security monitoring (SOC and SIEM)
CTEKS supports multiple SIEM and security monitoring technologies based on your environment and requirements. Our managed security stack may include Pillr-backed SOC and SIEM services, while Microsoft Sentinel may be deployed or managed for Microsoft-centric environments where appropriate.
Endpoint protection (EDR and XDR)
CTEKS supports multiple endpoint protection, EDR and XDR technologies based on your environment and security requirements. Our managed security stack may include SentinelOne for advanced endpoint detection and response, while Microsoft Defender may be deployed or managed for organizations standardized on the Microsoft security ecosystem. In some environments they complement each other, and in others one platform is the primary solution.
Endpoint management
CTEKS supports multiple endpoint management technologies depending on your environment and requirements. NinjaOne may serve as our RMM and managed IT operations platform, while Microsoft Intune or Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) may be deployed or managed for organizations requiring Microsoft-native device management, MDM, compliance, Conditional Access and Entra ID integration. In many environments they work together. NinjaOne covers IT operations, monitoring, patching, automation and remote management. Intune covers Microsoft-native device policy, MDM and MAM, compliance, Autopilot and identity-integrated endpoint management.
Identity, email and backup
Identity security uses Microsoft Entra ID, MFA, Conditional Access, PIM, Windows LAPS and related technologies where appropriate. Email security uses Avanan from the CTEKS security stack and/or Microsoft-native or other email security, depending on the environment. Backup and disaster recovery use CTEKS backup solutions or your existing backup platforms, selected based on workload, environment and service agreement.
