Stop cyber attacks before they shut you down with 24/7 managed security

The Problem

43% of UK businesses experienced a cyber attack last year. Attacks happen at 3am when your office is closed, malware spreads undetected, and ransomware encrypts your files before you notice. Most Manchester businesses can't afford £50,000-per-year security specialists or their own Security Operations Centre.

The Solution

Apex's managed security service monitors your systems round the clock to detect threats, and responds before breaches become disasters. We manage firewalls, endpoints, email security, and incident response so you get complete protection for a fixed monthly fee without the cost and hassle of building your own security team.

Round-the-clock monitoring that spots problems before they spread

Firewalls, device protection, and email security managed for you

Fast response when threats are detected, with guaranteed response times

Monthly reports showing what we've blocked and how secure you are

Managed cyber security services that stop threats without the security team overheads

Continuous security monitoring prevents costly breaches and keeps your business running. Here's how managed cyber security services can support your business.

Protection Round the Clock Without Hiring Security Staff

Cyber attacks don't stop at 5pm or wait until Monday morning. We monitor your systems 24/7, spot threats as they emerge, and respond immediately when alerts trigger. Your business stays protected and overnight without paying for round-the-clock security staff or building your own monitoring operation.

Fixed Costs Instead of Emergency Bills

Security incidents at inconvenient times mean weekend call-out rates, emergency consultants charging premium fees, and unexpected costs when budgets are already tight. Our fixed monthly fee covers monitoring, threat response, firewall management, and security updates. You get to budget accurately without surprise invoices when something goes wrong.

Fast Response Before Breaches Become Disasters

The longer an attack goes undetected, the more damage it causes and the more it costs to fix. We catch threats early and contain problems before they spread across your network. Ransomware gets stopped before it encrypts your files, not after your business has ground to a halt.

Compliance Evidence When You Need It

Customers, suppliers, and regulators increasingly demand proof of security measures. We provide monthly reports, maintain security logs, and document our monitoring and response activities. You’ll have the evidence needed for Cyber Essentials, client audits, insurance requirements, and tender submissions.

Security That Keeps Pace With Threats

Attackers are constantly changing tactics and new vulnerabilities are appearing weekly. We update firewall rules, patch systems promptly, and adjust monitoring based on current threats. Your defences stay current without your team spending hours reading security bulletins and testing updates.

What Our Managed Cyber Security Services Include

We watch your security systems 24/7 and deal with threats before they cause damage. One fixed monthly price covers everything from firewall management to cleaning up after an attack.

Your systems are watched continuously for suspicious activity, malware, unauthorised access attempts, and security events.

Service includes:

Round-the-clock monitoring of security systems and logs
Real-time threat detection and alert management
Security event analysis and prioritisation
Continuous network and endpoint monitoring

Firewalls block unwanted traffic and control what comes in and out of your network. We configure, monitor, and maintain your firewalls, update rules based on current threats, and ensure they're working properly.
Service includes:
Firewall configuration and rule management
Regular security policy updates and reviews
Traffic monitoring and threat blocking
Firmware updates and security patches

Laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices all need protection from malware, ransomware, and unauthorised access. We deploy and manage endpoint security across all your devices, ensuring antivirus definitions stay current and threats are detected quickly.

Service includes:

Endpoint security software deployment and management
Real-time malware and ransomware protection
Regular security updates and patch management
Device security monitoring and reporting

Phishing emails are the most common way attackers target businesses. We manage email filtering systems that block spam and phishing attempts before they reach inboxes. Your staff will get fewer suspicious emails and you reduce the risk of someone clicking the wrong link.

Service includes:

Advanced email filtering and spam protection
Malicious attachment and link scanning
Phishing detection and blocking
Email security policy management

When alerts trigger or attacks are detected, we respond fast. We investigate security incidents, contain threats to stop them spreading, and clean up infected systems.

Service includes:

Rapid response when security incidents occur
Threat investigation and analysis
Malware removal and system remediation
Incident documentation and reporting

Unpatched systems are how most breaches happen. We monitor for security updates, test patches, and deploy them across your systems. Critical vulnerabilities get patched quickly whilst routine updates are scheduled to avoid disruption.

Service includes:

Security patch monitoring and assessment
Patch testing and deployment scheduling
Critical vulnerability remediation
Update status reporting and compliance tracking

You need to know what's happening with your security. We provide clear monthly reports showing threats detected and blocked, security incidents and response, system vulnerabilities identified and fixed, and overall security posture.

Security incident documentation
Recommendations for security improvements

Why Choose Apex Computing for Managed Cyber Security Services

When you're outsourcing security monitoring, responsiveness and local accountability matter. Here's what sets our managed security services apart.

UK-Based Security Team, Not Offshore Support

Our security analysts are based in the UK and available during your business hours. When alerts trigger or you need to discuss an incident, you speak to someone in Manchester who understands your business context. No language barriers, no time zone delays, and no passing tickets between offshore teams.

Fast Response Without Excuses

Managed security only works if threats get dealt with quickly. We commit to clear response times with proper SLAs and actually meet them. Critical alerts get attention within the hour, not whenever someone gets around to it, so you're not left wondering if anyone's looking at the problem whilst malware spreads.

Fixed Pricing That Covers What You Actually Need

Some providers quote low monthly fees then charge extra for incident response, additional devices, or out-of-hours support. Our fixed price covers monitoring, threat response, firewall management, and security updates for your agreed scope.

Works Alongside Your Existing IT Setup

We integrate with whatever systems you're already running, whether that's Microsoft 365, on-premise servers, or a mix of both. You're not forced to rip out existing security tools or change your whole infrastructure to fit our preferred setup. We work with what you've got and improve it.

Regular Communication, Not Just When Things Break

You get monthly reports showing what we've blocked, what security events occurred, and where improvements are needed. We explain findings in plain English for business owners, not just technical jargon for IT teams. You know what's happening with your security without having to chase for updates.
