Do you offer Cerberus as a standalone solution?
No. Many of the systems and controls that Cerberus utilizes build off the systems and processes of the EmPower or Co-Managed platform. It is not possible to offer Cerberus apart from these other management programs.
How is Cerberus priced?
Cerberus is a fixed-price, monthly recurring service. Pricing is based on the size of your organization. Ask your vCIO for more information.
Do I still need cyber insurance?
Yes! Cerberus is not a replacement for cyber insurance. As the insurance market continues to evolve, many of the services provided by Cerberus are becoming requirements for coverage by the underwriters.
