Security
Managed Security for Australian and New Zealand Businesses
24x7 detection and response, dark web monitoring, patch management, and security awareness training - built into every plan. Security that works without you having to manage it.
The reality for most NZ businesses
Three things that keep the risk high
Most NZ businesses won't know they've been breached until it's too late
The average time to detect a breach is over six months. By then, data has already left the building. Waiting until something goes wrong isn't a security strategy - it's a liability.
Your staff are your biggest security risk - and nobody's training them
Phishing, social engineering, and weak passwords account for the majority of breaches. Your team doesn't need to be experts - they just need the right tools and ongoing awareness.
You have security tools, but nobody's watching them
Antivirus, firewalls, and basic monitoring are table stakes. What matters is what happens when something triggers - who investigates, how fast, and what they do about it.
What we actually do
Security that runs in the background - not in your head.
Detect
Managed detection and response: 24x7 threat monitoring with human oversight. When something suspicious happens, we investigate and act - not just alert and leave you to figure it out.
Protect
Business-grade password manager, dark web monitoring, and email security. Practical controls that stop the most common attacks before they reach your team.
Patch
Vulnerability scanning and patch management across your environment. Known vulnerabilities get fixed before they get exploited - not when you remember to do them.
Train
Security awareness training through KnowBe4. Your team learns to recognise phishing and social engineering - reducing the risk before it reaches your inbox.
Security stack
Included in every plan
Most IT providers charge extra for security tools. We include them from day one - because security isn't optional.
24x7 threat detection. Human oversight.
Managed detection and response
AI-powered detection with a security operations team behind it. Threats get investigated by people, not just flagged by a tool and left in a queue.
Monitoring the dark web for your data.
Dark web monitoring
We continuously scan for your business data on dark web marketplaces. If credentials or sensitive information surfaces, you know immediately - before attackers act on it.
Password security, handled properly.
Business password manager
A managed password manager for every user. No more sticky notes, repeated passwords, or shared credentials stored in a spreadsheet.
Security awareness, not just compliance.
KnowBe4 security training
Regular simulated phishing and security awareness training. Your team stays alert without you having to run the programme - we manage it as part of the service.
Who you're working with
Real people, not a support queue
The full Microsoft stack, end to end.
Chetan Waghela
Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
Chetan is part of our multi-skilled team - with presence in Managed IT and Managed Cloud Infrastructure. He is hands-on across the full Microsoft stack.
From Azure infrastructure deployment, hardening, and account management through to Exchange, Intune, Teams, and Microsoft 365 Security Operations.
He is not limited to the Microsoft tech stack. He is also hands-on with server infrastructure as well as end-user computing and support.
He enjoys solving a complex technical problem — whether that's collaborating with other engineers, acting as an escalation point for security incidents, or having the client conversation that needs deep platform knowledge.
Chetan bridges the gap between the technical detail and what the client actually needs to hear.
Twenty-five years of hands-on IT experience.
Paul McKenzie
Service Desk Engineer
Paul acts as an escalation point for incoming enquiries in our Service Help Desk and is the first contact point for security alerts that arise during working hours via Huntress.
Twenty-five years in IT gives him a broad perspective; he has worked across the full spectrum: field engineering, L2 support, IT management, and service desk leadership.
Resulting in a wealth of knowledge when it comes to solving problems, and a great team player!
In addition to being part of service desk operations, he configures and deploys monthly CIS Controls as part of our SecOps process, thus improving the security posture of managed clients.
He's continuously exploring the way our tech-stack evolves, and is keen to enthusiastically pass on that knowledge to our clients.
Engineer & Coach.
Patricia Aguilar
AI Solutions Engineer
Patricia was part of our Managed-IT Services Team - assisting clients in the Service Help Desk, as well as driving overall efforts to improve the security posture of various clients.
Now, she is an essential part of our Managed-AI team, involved daily in the engineering and implementation side of the service.
Full-stack builds, project architecture considerations, security configurations for AI-driven applications, and product management are some of her tasks.
She builds internally for HybrIT and helps clients build their own.
As a security advocate, she implements and writes security requirements as part of the process - not a review step.
She's also part of our AI Coaching service. Clients reach her when they're stuck, want to go further, or just need a question answered without feeling like it's a silly thing to ask.

Common questions
What people ask about security
Is security included in your IT support plans?
Yes. Every managed IT plan includes a core security stack: business-grade password manager, dark web monitoring, vulnerability scanning, 24x7 managed detection and response, and security awareness training. Security isn't an add-on - it's built into the service from day one.
What does MDR actually do when something is detected?
Managed detection and response means a security operations team investigates alerts in real time - not just forwarding notifications to you. When a threat is confirmed, they contain it and notify you with a clear summary of what happened and what was done. You're not left to action it yourself.
Do you help with compliance requirements?
We can align your security posture to common frameworks including the NZ Information Security Manual and CIS Controls. If you have a specific compliance requirement - whether from a client, insurer, or regulator - talk to us and we'll assess what's needed.
