What Are Managed IT Services

Managed IT Services shift away from the traditional model of break-fix, and instead pivot to a proactive approach of consistently monitoring your system to keep it operational and protected.  

Why Do Managed IT Services Matter?

Businesses need more than just reactive tech support—they need proactive, strategic IT management. Managed IT Services provide exactly that by outsourcing critical IT functions to expert providers. This ensures your systems stay secure, efficient, and up-to-date, while freeing your internal teams to focus on innovation and growth.

The Crucial Role of Data Backups in a Cyber-Insecure World

Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud infrastructure is hardware and software that enables users to access applications and data storage remotely, via the internet. Cloud infrastructure offers scalability, flexibility and cost-efficiency for companies by offering on-demand access. At LBMC Technology Solutions, we help clients leverage their cloud software and services; reducing costs and improving efficiency. By guiding you in selecting the right set of services, we enable organizations to maximize their resources and concentrate on driving growth.

Gain a global footprint in hours
Focus on your core business instead of IT infrastructure
Experience enterprise level IT performance, for a fraction of the cost
Keep your systems and processes, without the cost of on-site infrastructure
Firewall Illustration

Firewall Management

A firewall is the first line of defense in any cybersecurity strategy, acting as a barrier between trusted internal networks and suspicious external networks (like the internet). Firewalls safeguard your internal network by monitoring and filtering traffic in and out, using rules defined by your organization to prevent unauthorized access. LBMC Technology Solutions provides our clients the best-in-class firewall products from our industry leading partner network.

Prevent unauthorized access to your network
Control and monitor traffic flow
Secure network access for a remote or hybrid workforce
Access user and threat reports

Mobile Device Management

Mobile Device Management (MDM) empowers your team to work anywhere with secure, reliable mobile tools, regardless of operating system—keeping your data protected while boosting productivity. Using Microsoft Intune, LBMC Technology Solutions provides secure, centralized management for iOS, Windows, Android, and macOS devices within one unified platform.

Reduce risks of data breaches
Protect sensitive data regardless of device
Lock, wipe, or configure devices from a central location
Remotely troubleshoot and resolve issues, reducing downtime
MFA Illustration

Multi-factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) strengthens security by requiring users to verify their identity through two or more methods before accessing company systems. MFA adds an extra layer of security by ensuring that stolen passwords alone can’t grant access to your systems. LBMC Technology Solutions offers a range of MFA options tailored to your organization’s unique needs.

Provides stronger defense against compromised passwords
Secure networks, ensuring only verified users have access
Reduce risk of identity theft
Enhance compliance with industry standards and regulations(GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS)
Anti-Virus

Antivirus & Anti-Malware

Antivirus and anti-malware work hand-in-hand to protect your devices—antivirus stops computer viruses, while anti-malware defends against broader threats like worms, trojans, ransomware, and spyware. Both are critical for building a strong security layer that prevents downtime, data breaches, and costly financial or reputational damage. At LBMC Technology Solutions, we take a layered approach to security, delivering antivirus and anti-malware solutions configured for maximum protection with minimal impact on system performance.

Safeguard against hackers, viruses, malware and leaks
Peace of mind knowing your technology infrastructure is secure
Robust protection and around-the-clock monitoring
Scalable services to meet your organizations budget and evolving risk profile

Intrusion Prevention

Intrusion prevention systems (IPS) provide a proactive cybersecurity strategy that monitors network traffic for malicious activity and blocks threats in real time. Beyond supporting regulatory compliance, IPS offers deep network visibility to help organizations stay secure. At LBMC Technology Solutions, our two-part approach combines managed intrusion prevention and managed intrusion protection. We detect and stop hostile activity instantly, backed by 24/7 monitoring, to identify and report unauthorized access attempts. Every alert includes an in-depth analysis and clear, actionable steps to eliminate the threat.

Real-time detection and blocking of malicious activity
Automatic identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities
Enhanced compliance with regulatory standards
Reduced risk of costly forensic investigations and recovery
