Leveraging NinjaOne to enable better security

The Syscomm Group is a managed IT service provider based in Ontario , Canada , that offers IT management , network security and cloud solutions to businesses of all sizes . The organisation is known for its expertise in implementing and monitoring security in industries that are often targeted by ransomware and has been ranked in MSPmentor ’ s World ’ s Top 501 Providers .

Syscomm has set up NinjaOne to automatically scan its managed environments twice a month for new endpoints and endpoints that are not compliant with its security requirements . Any non-compliant endpoints get NinjaOne pushed to them and Syscomm ’ s security solutions are automatically deployed to bring them up to compliance . If the endpoints cannot be made compliant automatically , they are isolated until a Syscomm technician can review them and remediate the issue . “ We ’ re able to automate a lot , from deploying our cybersecurity software to checking and enforcing compliance . It saves us a lot of time and ensures we ’ re effectively protecting our clients ’ environments ,” said Martin Wells , CEO of Syscomm Group .

Wells ’ team also built a proprietary ransomware protection solution directly into NinjaOne . “ We ’ re using NinjaOne to proactively detect changes in files and directories that should not be changed . We check every two minutes if a change is detected . After hours , we ’ ll automatically isolate the device to prevent possible cross-device contamination ,” he said . “ In the past year alone , we ’ ve probably stopped 15 – 20 attacks with our ransomware detection solution alone .”
