Experiencing a cyber incident? Contact RSM’s cyber response team.

Every company is at daily risk from sophisticated cybersecurity threats. Effective controls and protective measures are necessary to protect sensitive data and assets—but qualified, internal security personnel are difficult to hire, retain and afford.

What are managed security services?

Managed security services have rapidly become an attractive option for companies to strengthen security strategies and controls by working with a trusted advisor to leverage consistent, experienced resources and leading technology for peace of mind at an attainable cost. 

How is the RSM Defense managed security services framework unique?

RSM Defense delivers comprehensive managed security solutions designed to help organizations proactively defend against cyberthreats, respond to incidents with speed and precision, and build long-term resilience. Built on a foundation of 24/7 monitoring, digital forensics, advanced threat intelligence and automation, RSM Defense delivers end-to-end cybersecurity services tailored to your unique needs.

RSM Defense is:

  • Always on: Skilled security analysts monitor your environments 24/7 for suspicious and confirmed threats.
  • Forever vigilant: Advisors leverage automation workflows, reducing mean time to detect and dwell time to generate faster response.
  • Quick to act with an informed response: Threat intelligence is integrated into everything to aid in prioritizing risks and determining the correct course of action.

The offering spans 10 core service domains—from attack surface management and secure cloud operations to digital identity, compliance and emerging technologies. Each domain is supported by deep technical experience, industry-aligned frameworks and a commitment to continuous improvement.

RSM Defense is powered by a next-generation extended detection and response (NG-XDR) platform that integrates endpoint, network, cloud and identity telemetry into a unified threat detection and response engine. With AI-enhanced insights, automated remediation and a robust onboarding process, you benefit from faster detection, reduced dwell time and measurable improvements in your security posture.
