With the rise in sophisticated cyberattacks, cybersecurity is not just a luxury — it’s a necessity. Traditional antivirus software is no longer enough to defend a business’s data and infrastructure. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) can help protect, strengthen, and empower your business.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity solution focused on monitoring and responding to threats at the endpoint level — think laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices. EDR continuously collects data from these endpoints to identify suspicious activity and provide security teams with real-time visibility and analysis tools to investigate and respond to threats.
Key Benefits of EDR:
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a service that combines advanced EDR tools with a team of cybersecurity experts who monitor your network 24/7. It’s ideal for organizations that may not have a full in-house security operations center (SOC).
Key Benefits of MDR:
Whether you’re a small business or a large enterprise, cyber threats are a constant concern. EDR and MDR can make a tangible impact.
In a world where cyber threats are becoming more frequent and damaging, investing in EDR and MDR isn’t just a defensive move — it’s a strategic one. These technologies give businesses the ability to detect, understand, and respond to threats quickly and effectively, often before any real damage is done.
Whether you’re building an in-house security team or outsourcing your cybersecurity needs, EDR and MDR offer critical layers of protection that are essential for the resilience and growth of your business.
Ready to take your cybersecurity to the next level? Consider evaluating EDR/MDR providers that align with your industry needs and business size — and don’t wait until it’s too late. If you’d like help choosing the right solution, feel free to reach out — we’re here to help you stay secure and thrive.
In today’s increasingly regulated business environment, compliance isn’t just a necessity—it’s a competitive advantage. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), staying on top of regulations can be daunting and time-consuming. Virtual Compliance Officer (VCO) services, like those provided by WheelHouse Solutions, are ideal.
A Virtual Compliance Officer is a remote professional or service that helps businesses manage their compliance needs. Unlike an in-house compliance officer, a VCO operates virtually, delivering expertise and support without the need for a full-time, on-site employee. VCO services, such as those offered by WheelHouse Solutions, are provided by professionals who are well-versed in industry-specific regulations, including data protection laws, financial standards, and workplace safety guidelines.
If your business operates in a regulated industry or handles sensitive data, a VCO from WheelHouse Solutions can be an invaluable asset. Growing companies or those entering new markets can especially benefit from the adaptability and expertise of a virtual compliance partner.
You don’t have to tackle compliance alone. A Virtual Compliance Officer from WheelHouse Solutions helps you navigate the complexities of regulations while letting you focus on what you do best—running and growing your business. With a VCO by your side, compliance becomes a seamless part of your operations, paving the way for long-term success and peace of mind.

As large corporations are faced with the challenge of continually updating technology while still managing expenses, equipment maintenance, and maintaining their bottom line, Technology Expense Management (TEM) is a valuable tool that addresses these needs. Providing greater visibility into technology inventories and optimizing efficiency though automation, TEM allows organizations to track their technology and gain more in-depth insight into their IT assets and services.
The challenge of finance and IT departments resolving the issue of technology updates can lead to expensive manual overhead, poor data visualization, and slow response times—particularly with the added obstacle of managing mobile devices. Because today’s business model gravitates around a mobile-dependent workforce, hundreds of devices and applications require management and collaboration between multiple departments within the organization.
TEM services act as an automated liaison between these groups. By utilizing technology expense management, businesses can maintain an actionable record of all their technological assets and services. TEM is also able to work with all facets of technology, including acquisition and deployment, managing contracts with providers, monitoring usage, bill payment, maintenance throughout its life cycle, to when the asset is eventually replaced.
Additionally, enterprises are able to work more efficiently in centralizing and simplifying complex tasks through:
With a lack of an organizational system, collecting data from all of these sources in an attempt to analyze it with specific standards is labor-intensive and time-consuming. This poses the risk of broken and inefficient workflows which eventually leads to costly errors, resulting in inaccurate forecasting and even service outages when bills are delinquent.
Utilizing TEM, businesses automate these workflows, increasing speed and accuracy and giving companies an advantage in today’s marketplace. Auditing invoices with configurable audit rules can also be automatically created, allowing for the simplification of IT and finance processes and operations. The usage of advanced data analytics allows users to understand, interpret, and utilize data to make sound operational decisions. Businesses can streamline order fulfilment, auditing, payment processing, and asset management through the features provided by TEM. Security is also enhanced as TEM provides companies with the ability to create security and compliance policies that fit the company needs.
In today’s workforce, companies are facing a need to deploy larger and more complex mobile environments to support remote operations. This requires more complex management strategies to keep pace with the client and market demand. The mobility challenge continues to grow, affecting components of an organization all the way from IT, to finance, and end users. If the right solutions are not available, managing those mobile users is a challenge. Each company’s needs are different. While each company is working to balance their requirements among mobile, fixed, and cloud, IT expense management tools provide a greater control, allowing areas of inefficiency to be identified. Outdated tools pose a risk of poor time usage due to the sheer amount of data they must be able to process. Older systems are simply not equipped to handle multifaceted networking solutions.
Without a technology expense management program, it becomes difficult to stay competitive and meet current business needs. Automated systems such as TEM services can perform the same functions but in a quicker and more accurate manner. Through the usage of TEM, significant savings on mobile, cloud, and fixed/telecom are realized, while unused services, devices, and plans can be eliminated.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic and the changes it quickly forced on the way we work, IT managers and cybersecurity strategists had already observed a rise in Social Engineering, the latest cyber threat to businesses.
The most critical of cyber dangers does not start with malware by any means. Instead, social engineering attacks businesses by permitting malicious software to be installed or giving access to otherwise secure assets. In 2018, social engineering was the top technique for cyber criminals to first gain access to an organization.
Social Engineering is a control strategy adopted by hackers to fool individuals into surrendering confidential data. Social engineering relies heavily on basic human instincts of trust to take individual and corporate data that can then be utilized to perpetrate further cybercrimes.
For instance, a hacker may use social engineering to persuade an employee to disclose the organization’s passwords. The cybercriminal then uses these passwords to take information and introduce malware to the company network.
Phishing
Phishing is a unique method used to steal information. Notwithstanding its reputation, it remains very effective. The culprit commonly sends an email or text to any employee, looking for data that may help with a more critical crime.
In another type of phishing, known as spear phishing, the fraudster attempts to target or spear a specific individual. The criminal may find the name and email of HR personnel inside a specific organization. The criminal then sends that individual an email that seems to originate from a high-level executive.
Some recent cases included an email demand for employee W-2 information, including names, addresses, and social security numbers. If the hacker is successful, the victim will unknowingly hand over information that could be used to steal employees’ identities.
Vishing
Vishing is the voiced version of phishing. While the criminal uses the telephone to fool a victim into giving out important information, the outcome is the same. A hacker may call an employee, pretending to be a colleague. The criminal may sway the victim to give login details or other data that could be used to target the organization or its employees.
Email Hacking and Spamming
With the many emails we receive daily, it is normal that our instinct is to focus on messages from people we know. Hackers attempt to exploit this by taking control of email accounts and spammed account contact records.
If a close friend or colleague sent you an email with the subject, “I think you would be interested in this” you probably wouldn’t think twice before opening it and exposing yourself to malware or ransomware.
By taking control over someone’s email account, a hacker can make those on the contact list accept an email from the original owner. The essential goals include spreading malware and deceiving individuals out of their information.
Quid Pro Quo
This trick involves what the victim believes to be a fair trade but the victim consistently ends up as the loser.
A con artist may call an employee, claiming to be an IT support specialist. Believing they are receiving specialized support, the employee may hand over the login credentials to their computer. The hacker is now able to assume control of the victim’s computer. They would typically follow with installing malware or even taking proprietary data from the PC to commit identity theft.
Baiting
This social engineering relies on a victim taking the bait, much like a fish responding to a worm on a hook. The cyber criminal needs to lure their target into giving them access to their network.
A cybercriminal may, for instance, leave a thumb drive, equipped with malware, in a spot where the target will see it. In addition, the criminal may mark the device in a convincing manner – “private” or “bonuses.” The target who takes the bait will plug in the thumb drive to view the content and the malware will install itself on the company network.
Pretexting
Pretexting is the use of affection or a ploy to catch the victim’s attention. With just a simple story, the hacker attempts to deceive the victim into giving them important information.
Suppose you got an email naming you as the recipient of a will. The email requests your personal information to confirm you are the genuine recipient and speed up your inheritance. Instead, you are in danger of giving an cyber criminal the ability to access your financial information.
Social engineering is used everyday to compromise computer networks. Your best guard against these sorts of dangers is to educate yourself and your employees, so you are informed regarding the many techniques used to hack your business.
WheelHouse Solutions can provide your employees with the Cyber Security Awareness Training they need to protect your business assets from hackers.
