Get Proactive Cybersecurity Services for Houston, TX Businesses

Sixty percent of small businesses close within six months of a major cyber attack. That is not a
scare tactic. It is what happens when security is treated as an afterthought. In Houston, TX, we
see it constantly: no multi-factor authentication, outdated antivirus, admin passwords
unchanged for years, and backup drives that have never once been tested. Every one of those
gaps is a door left open. If your cyber insurance carrier audited your setup today, would you
pass?

At Hangman AV, LLC, we have seen what happens when those gaps get exploited. We have recovered businesses from ransomware attacks where every file was encrypted and the backup drive was physically failing. That experience is why we build security into every system we deploy instead of bolting it on after the fact. Our approach is layered—firewalls, endpoint protection, encryption, access controls, monitoring, and staff training—because no single tool stops every threat.

Security is not a product you buy. It is a discipline you maintain.

Reduce Risk While Protecting Business Systems

We build layered defenses that address how attacks actually happen—phishing emails, unpatched systems, weak passwords, and unsecured endpoints. No single product. No silver bullet. Here is what we implement:

• Network Security and Firewalls: Enterprise-grade firewall configuration with intrusiondetection, traffic rules, and VLAN segmentation isolating guest, IoT, and business-critical traffic.
• Endpoint Detection and Response: Tools like SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Sophos on every workstation and server. Active monitoring for ransomware patterns, suspicious behavior, and unauthorized access.
• Threat Detection and Incident Response: Suspicious activity tracked and contained fast. When something is detected, we act on it. Not just log it and send an alert.
• Multi-Factor Authentication: Duo, Microsoft Authenticator, or hardware tokens deployed across email, VPN, remote desktop, and every system that supports it.
• Encryption and Access Controls: Full-disk encryption on every drive with centralized key management. Group Policy hardening to control what users can install and access. BIOS locking and secure boot to prevent hardware-level tampering.
• Cloud and Data Protection: Whether your data lives on-premise, in the cloud, or both, we secure it. Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other platforms protected with conditional access, encryption, and proper authentication controls.
• Audits and Risk Assessments: We evaluate your current setup, identify weaknesses, and deliver a written report with prioritized recommendations. No jargon. No upselling. Just an honest picture of where you stand.
• Staff Security Training: Quarterly sessions covering phishing, social engineering, and unsafe habits. Your employees are either your biggest vulnerability or your first line of defense. Ransomware Recovery: We have done it. Encrypted patient records, failing backup drives, entire infrastructure rebuilt from the ground up. We would rather help you avoid it. But if the worst happens, we know what to do.

Build Confidence With a Strong Security Strategy

A firewall alone is not a security strategy. Neither is antivirus by itself. Real cybersecurity requires layers—each one covering a different attack surface—so that when one is bypassed, the next one catches it. That is how we design every environment we protect.

What this means for your business:

• Lower risk of data breaches, ransomware, and system interruptions
• Improved protection for customer data, patient records, and internal information
• Support for HIPAA compliance, cyber insurance requirements, and audit readiness
• Full visibility into your security posture for leadership and insurance carriers

We handle the full stack—physical security cameras, network infrastructure, and cybersecurity—so there are no gaps between vendors and no blind spots in your protection.

Start with a free security assessment. We evaluate your environment, identify the gaps, and give you a written report with a prioritized plan. You will know exactly where you stand and what it takes to fix it.
