A better way to get things done
Traditional cybersecurity vendors are slow, expensive, & require large commitments upfront. Hiring in-house involves similar problems. We take a different approach: a full security team on a contract you customize to give you the cyber services you need at a price you can afford.

Minimize wasted resources by narrowing down on specific areas, organizations can address the unique cybersecurity challenges they face, ensuring a tailored solution that meets their precise demands.
2
Scalable
Get more done with less. A micro-service approach ensures that resources, whether financial, human, or technological, are allocated efficiently, maximizing return on investment.
3
Customizable
Choose the contract that's right for you and your project. Get what you need, when you need it, for as long as you need it. Our microservices enable quick pivots and adaptations, allowing organizations to address dynamic priorities.

How it works

Why can't I just build my own or employ people to do this In-House?Access to Specialized Expertise: Cybersecurity is a field that is constantly evolving, with new threats and vulnerabilities emerging daily. Emagined specializes in staying ahead of these developments, offering a level of expertise and experience that can be hard to find in the job market. Cost Efficiency: Building and maintaining an in-house cybersecurity team can be prohibitively expensive. This includes not just salaries, but also the costs of ongoing training, certifications, and purchasing and updating technology. Choosing Emagined allows you to access top-tier cybersecurity services for a predictable fee, often at a fraction of the cost of an in-house team. 24/7 Monitoring and Response: Cyber threats don’t adhere to a 9-5 schedule; they can occur at any time of day or night. Emagined offers 24/7 monitoring and response services, ensuring that your organization is protected at all times. This level of coverage can be challenging and expensive to achieve with an in-house team. Scalability: As your business grows, your cybersecurity needs will change. Emagined can easily scale up or down based on your current requirements, providing flexibility that can be difficult to manage with an in-house team. This scalability ensures that your cybersecurity posture can evolve in tandem with your business. Access to Advanced Technologies: Emagined invests in the latest technologies and tools to serve our clients effectively. By choosing Emagined, you gain access to these advanced technologies without the need for significant upfront investment. This includes not just software and hardware, but also the expertise to use them effectively. Focus on Core Business Functions: By collaborating with Emagined, your organization can focus on its core business activities without the distraction of managing a complex cybersecurity program. This can lead to better use of resources and improved business outcomes. Compliance and Risk Management: Emagined is well-versed in the latest regulatory requirements and can ensure that your cybersecurity practices are compliant with relevant laws and industry standards. This can help mitigate legal and financial risks associated with data breaches and other security incidents. Lack of Qualified Talent: As mentioned, there is a significant shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals. This makes it difficult for many organizations to hire and retain the talent needed to protect against sophisticated cyber threats. Collaborating with Emagined provides access to a team of experts who are dedicated to cybersecurity, bypassing the challenges of the talent shortage.

How much more cost-effective is this, really?The cost-effectiveness of outsourcing cybersecurity compared to maintaining an in-house team varies significantly based on several factors, including the size of your organization, your specific security needs, the complexity of your IT infrastructure, and the level of cybersecurity expertise required. However, there are several key areas where outsourcing can lead to substantial cost savings and financial efficiencies: Reduced Labor Costs: Hiring, training, and retaining in-house cybersecurity professionals can be extremely expensive, especially in a market where demand outstrips supply. Collaborating with Emagined eliminates these labor costs, which often include not just salaries but also benefits, bonuses, and ongoing training expenses. No Need for Upfront Investment in Technology: Cybersecurity requires a significant investment in technology, including advanced software tools, hardware, and regular updates to these systems. Emagined spreads these costs across our client base, allowing you to benefit from state-of-the-art technology without the hefty initial investment. Operational and Scaling Efficiencies: Working with Emagined allows for flexibility in scaling your cybersecurity efforts up or down based on current needs without the financial and logistical challenges of hiring or laying off staff or investing in new technologies. This scalability can lead to more efficient use of resources. Reduced Risk of Costly Breaches: The expertise and 24/7 monitoring offered by Emagined can significantly reduce the risk of security breaches. The cost of a single data breach can be devastating, including regulatory fines, legal fees, and damage to reputation. By mitigating this risk, outsourcing can offer substantial financial benefits. Predictable Budgeting: Collaborating with Emagined typically involves an agreed upon project fee, making it easier to budget and avoid unexpected expenses. This predictability is a significant advantage over the variable costs associated with managing an in-house team and infrastructure. Focus on Core Business Activities: Working with Emagined, your organization can redirect resources and focus towards core business activities that drive revenue and growth. This indirect cost saving can be substantial, as it allows for more efficient allocation of resources towards areas that offer the highest return on investment. While the qualitative benefits are clear, quantitatively, the cost savings can vary. For small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), outsourcing can save anywhere from 20% to 40% of the costs associated with building and maintaining an in-house cybersecurity team. For larger organizations, the savings can be more variable and will depend on the specific scope and scale of the cybersecurity operations outsourced.
