EDR: an alarm on every laptop
Endpoint detection and response is software that spots an attack on a computer and stops it, including new threats plain antivirus misses. It comes with Radiant Advanced and Elite.
EDR, MDR, MFA, and training, explained in plain English and priced per device.
Cybersecurity for businesses in Tarpon Springs and across Tampa Bay
One clicked email can lock every file in your office before lunch. Radiant protects Tarpon Springs and Tampa Bay businesses with layered security, explained in words you actually use.
What do cybersecurity services for a small business include?
Cybersecurity services for a small business combine protective software on every device, trained people watching for attacks, and habits that stop staff from being tricked. Radiant Technology Solutions delivers this for Tampa Bay offices with EDR, MDR, multi-factor logins, email filtering, dark web monitoring, and security awareness training, priced per device each month.

What you get
What does each layer of protection actually do?
MDR: people watching around the clock
Managed detection and response means trained analysts watch that EDR software 24/7 and act when something looks wrong, so a 2 a.m. alert still gets answered.
MFA: a second lock on every login
Multi-factor authentication asks for a code or a phone tap after your password, so a stolen password alone cannot open your email.
Dark web monitoring: an early warning
We watch criminal marketplaces for your company email addresses and passwords, then tell you to change them before anyone uses them.
Security awareness training: fewer bad clicks
Short lessons teach your staff to spot a fake invoice or a phony password reset before they click.
DNS filtering: a block list for the internet
DNS filtering stops computers from even loading known malicious websites, so a bad link leads nowhere. It is an add-on to any plan.
The details
Who is watching your network?
Day to day, your security is managed by the same Tarpon Springs team that answers your help desk calls.
Brian Bacchi, our Customer Success Strategist, spent ten years handling credit and debit card fraud and dispute claims. He knows how internet scams and computer takeovers really start.
Ashley Feuchter holds CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ certificates from Pinellas Technical College. Ron Slyker holds industry certifications from Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, and others.
Businesses in Clearwater, New Port Richey, and across Tampa Bay get that experience without hiring a security team, and with no contract holding them in place.
What we work with
What protects the network itself?
Laptops are only half the picture. We also secure the equipment that connects your office to the internet, working with gear from these makers.

SonicWall firewalls
The gatekeeper between your office and the internet, configured to block intrusions and monitored for trouble.
- 02
Cisco and Ubiquiti networking
Switches and Wi-Fi set up so guests, staff, and equipment each stay in their own lane on your network.
- 03
Microsoft 365 security
Defender, conditional access, and data loss prevention settings that keep company email and files where they belong.
- 04
Secure client VPN
An encrypted tunnel for staff reaching office systems from home in Palm Harbor or from the road.

Secure Backups
If an attack gets through anyway, clean backups give us a safe copy of your files to restore from.
Side by side
Antivirus, EDR, or MDR: what is the difference?
These three get mixed up constantly. Here is what each one does when an attack actually lands on a computer.
| Question | Antivirus | EDR | MDR |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Software that blocks known viruses | Software that watches behavior on each device | EDR plus people watching it 24/7 |
| New or unknown attacks | Often missed | Spotted by unusual behavior | Spotted, then investigated by a person |
| Who responds | Nobody, unless you notice | The software, plus whoever reads the alert | A security team, day or night |
| Radiant plan | Every plan, managed for you | Every plan, starting with Basic | Advanced and Elite |

Is this you?
Do you need more than antivirus?
You probably do if any of these sound familiar:
- Staff sign in to email with a password only, with no code or phone tap.
- Your cyber insurance renewal asked about EDR, MFA, or training, and you were not sure.
- You handle client tax and financial records, legal files, or patient data.
- Nobody could tell you today whether a company password has already leaked.
- Your firewall is older than some of the cars in your parking lot.
- You have never had a security assessment, or the last one was years ago.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between EDR and MDR?
EDR is software on each computer that spots and stops suspicious behavior, like a program suddenly scrambling files. MDR adds trained people who watch that software around the clock and respond when it raises an alarm. Think of EDR as the smoke detector and MDR as the crew that actually shows up.
Do I need extra security if I already use Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft 365 includes strong security tools, but many only help once someone configures them properly. We set up multi-factor logins, conditional access, email filtering, and Defender settings, then keep watching them. A busy office can easily miss the settings that matter most.
What security does cyber insurance usually require?
Requirements vary by insurer, but applications commonly ask about multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection like EDR, tested backups, and security awareness training. Missing controls can mean higher premiums or a declined policy. We help you document what is in place before renewal. Our Florida cyber insurance guide goes deeper.
How much do cybersecurity services cost for a small business?
At Radiant, security is built into the flat monthly fee per device rather than sold separately. Every plan includes managed antivirus. Advanced adds EDR, MDR, email security, and cloud-to-cloud backup. Elite adds enhanced MFA, training, and dark web monitoring. Compare the plans on our managed IT services page.
What is dark web monitoring?
Dark web monitoring watches the hidden sites where criminals trade stolen logins, looking for your company email addresses and passwords. When a match appears, often from a breach at some other website, we alert you so the password gets changed before anyone uses it. It is part of our Radiant Elite plan.
How often should a small business get a security assessment?
At least once a year, and again after any big change, like a new office, a new server, or a move to the cloud. Threats change quickly, and so does your own setup. Our free network assessment is an easy place to start if it has been a while.
Can Radiant help with HIPAA security requirements?
Yes. HIPAA is the compliance area we work in, and we protect patient data through access controls, encryption, multi-factor logins, and monitored backups. Our Radiant Elite plan is the one recommended for healthcare. Read more on our HIPAA compliance page.
