Security at every stage. Confidence at every level.

One partner for the full security lifecycle.

Adapt your defenses for an AI world.

Attackers are using the same AI tools you’re evaluating. Ransomware variants are outpacing legacy defenses. Regulators keep raising the bar. As security teams are asked to do more with less, a tough job keeps getting even harder.

“Attackers aren’t sending humans anymore. They’re sending models. The only credible answer is to meet AI with AI, and to do that well you need the kind of deep infrastructure visibility most MSSPs simply don’t have. Our fusion centers sit at the intersection of that hardware expertise and modern AI-enabled detection.”

Frequently asked questions

What are managed security services, and does my organization need them? Managed security services are outsourced cybersecurity solutions in which a specialized provider monitors, manages, and responds to threats on behalf of an organization — typically around the clock. Organizations of all sizes benefit from managed security services, but they are especially valuable for those that lack the internal staff, budget, or expertise to maintain a 24x7 security operations center (SOC). OnX managed security services include continuous threat monitoring, managed detection and response (MDR/XDR), endpoint protection, and vulnerability management — freeing internal IT teams to focus on strategic priorities while ensuring security gaps are covered by certified professionals.
How do cybersecurity solutions help protect against AI-powered threats and ransomware? AI-powered threats — including automated phishing campaigns, deepfake social engineering, and AI-assisted ransomware — are designed to move faster and evade traditional defenses. Effective cybersecurity solutions counter these threats through a combination of proactive hardening (reducing the attack surface before incidents occur), AI-enabled threat detection (identifying anomalous behavior in real time), and rapid incident response (containing and recovering from breaches quickly). OnX addresses AI-driven threats through our full cybersecurity lifecycle framework — including penetration testing, vulnerability management, managed EDR/XDR, and a 24x7 SOC — backed by AI-enabled platforms designed to keep pace with an evolving threat landscape.
What is a virtual CISO, and when should an organization consider one? A virtual CISO (vCISO) is a contracted security leader who provides the strategic guidance, risk management, and compliance oversight of a full-time Chief Information Security Officer — without the cost and commitment of a permanent hire. Organizations should consider a vCISO when they lack senior security leadership, are facing a regulatory audit or compliance deadline, need to build or mature a formal security program, or are navigating a specific security challenge such as a cloud migration or incident response. OnX virtual CISO services provide access to experienced security executives who work with organizations of all sizes to develop risk-based security strategies, oversee policy and governance, and help build programs aligned to frameworks such as NIST.
How does OnX approach cybersecurity assessments, and what does the process look like? An OnX cybersecurity assessment begins with a detailed evaluation of an organizations current security environment — examining practices, policies, controls, and the existing technology stack to identify gaps that put data and assets at risk. From there, OnX provides objective, standards-based guidance on improving the security program and recommends a prioritized roadmap of technology and services to address identified vulnerabilities. Assessments may include an AI Risk Assessment, Compliance Risk Assessment, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning, depending on the organizations needs. The goal is not a one-time report, but a clear, actionable plan that helps organizations build a stronger, more resilient security posture over time.
