Security

Data is the lifeblood of any business, and protecting it is critical. LARA‑TECH, a Microsoft Modern Work Solutions Partner for SMBs, helps organizations implement multi-layered IT security strategies that safeguard networks, devices, applications -including Microsoft 365 workloads – and sensitive data. Our approach combines real-time monitoring, proactive threat detection, and industry-leading tools to defend against evolving cyber threats while enabling secure, productive hybrid work.

Cyber Security: Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

Modern threats move fast—and most breaches begin with a missed signal: a suspicious sign-in, a malicious email link, an unpatched device, or abnormal activity in Microsoft 365. LARA‑TECH delivers Managed Detection & Response (MDR) with Field Effect MDR, a unified, complexity-free solution that helps protect your business across endpoints, cloud services, and networks, backed by AI-accelerated detection and a 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC). Key benefits include:

    • 24/7 monitoring and threat hunting by Field Effect’s SOC, augmented with AI, to detect and disrupt attacks in near real time.
    • No-gap threat surface coverage across endpoint, cloud, and network—helping reduce blind spots that point solutions can miss, like anommalous privilege escalation, data loss or exposed services
    • DNS filtering to block access to known malicious domains, reduce phishing and malware callbacks, and provide an additional layer of protection for users on and off your network.
    • Endpoint agent monitoring to continuously collect security telemetry, detect suspicious behaviour, and help ensure managed devices stay visible and protected.
    • Vulnerability checks to identify missing patches, insecure configurations, and common exposures—so you can prioritize remediation before issues are exploited.
    • Actionable ARO alerts (Actions, Recommendations, and Observations) that cut through alert noise and provide clear, prioritized, step-by-step remediation guidance.
    • Active response and containment options aligned to your risk tolerance, to help stop malicious activity and limit business impact.
    • Suspicious Email Analysis Service (SEAS) to quickly assess suspicious emails (including content, metadata, and attachments) and notify you within minutes if anything looks malicious.
    • Executive-friendly reporting to show what happened, what was done, and how risk is trending over time.

Field Effect MDR is a strong fit for organizations that want enterprise-grade detection and response without building an in-house SOC. We guide you through a streamlined onboarding process—setting up access to the MDR portal, defining your monitoring profile, configuring an Active Response policy, connecting cloud services (including Microsoft 365 where applicable), and deploying endpoint agents—then we tune the service to reduce noise and align escalation paths with your business priorities.

Anti-Virus/Malware Protection

Anti-Virus/Malware acts as a constant digital security team, monitoring and protecting against viruses, ransomware, spyware, rootkits, and emerging threats. LARA‑TECH’s ensures the proper solution is selected for your environment to safeguard devices, networks, and cloud systems in real time, blocking sophisticated attacks including phishing campaigns and zero-day exploits. Key benefits include:

    • Blocking access to malicious websites
    • Preventing malware propagation across devices and cloud platforms
    • Tracking infections and generating actionable metrics

Data Backup & Protection

Reliable backups, both on-premise and in the cloud, ensure your files are safe and recoverable in the event of accidental deletion, cyberattacks, hardware failures, or human error. Effective backup practices support business continuity and regulatory compliance, helping prevent:

    • Data corruption or unauthorized modification
    • Theft or cyber breaches
    • Violations of privacy regulations or confidentiality agreements
    • Premature release of sensitive or inaccurate information

We also offer a dedicated Microsoft 365 Backup solution to protect your cloud data beyond built-in retention features—so you can restore information quickly after accidental deletion, ransomware, or misconfiguration.

    • Exchange Online: Email, Calendars, and Contacts
    • SharePoint Online sites and document libraries
    • OneDrive for Business files and folders

This enables flexible recovery (from individual items to full mailboxes, sites, or user drives) and supports your business continuity and compliance objectives.

All of our cloud backup services are hosted in Canada and fully encrypted (in transit and at rest) to help protect your data and support Canadian data residency requirements.
