Offering brings together continuous IT monitoring, 24/7/365 security operations and active threat response to help businesses protect their technology environments

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aureon, a trusted provider of connectivity and network solutions, today announced the launch of Unified Protection, a new three-tier portfolio that combines managed IT services with expanded cybersecurity capabilities. The offering brings together continuous IT monitoring and maintenance, 24/7/365 security operations and active threat response, providing businesses with a comprehensive approach to protecting their technology environments.

Unified Protection is designed to help organizations simplify IT and cybersecurity management by connecting day-to-day IT management with threat detection, investigation and response. Through a single provider, businesses can strengthen protection across devices, user identities, cloud environments and critical business data while reducing the complexity of managing separate IT and security services.

“IT and cybersecurity can’t be treated as separate parts of the business anymore,” said Joe Johnson, Vice President of Product Development at Aureon. “Unified Protection brings them together in a way that gives organizations stronger visibility across their environment and the ability to actively respond when threats emerge. With three levels of protection, businesses can choose the coverage they need today and strengthen that protection as their needs evolve.”

With 24/7/365 security operations center (SOC) coverage, security analysts can identify and investigate suspicious activity and take action to help contain threats, including isolating affected devices or accounts.

Unified Protection is available in three tiers designed to meet varying business needs:

  • Essentials: Establishes a core security foundation through continuous IT monitoring and maintenance, 24/7/365 SOC coverage, endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed detection and response (MDR), and identity threat detection and response.
  • Defense: Builds on Essentials with multifactor authentication (MFA), workstation and Microsoft 365 backup, and employee security awareness training to strengthen protection against common cyber threats and data loss.
  • Resilience: Expands on Defense with security information and event management (SIEM), vulnerability management and dark web monitoring, providing deeper visibility into potential security risks.

The portfolio extends protection beyond traditional endpoint security including user identities, cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365, and other critical IT systems.

Each tier can be paired with either time-and-materials support or Aureon Professional Support, allowing organizations to select the level of day-to-day IT assistance that best fits their operations. This flexible structure also enables businesses to expand their cybersecurity capabilities as their needs evolve.
