Meet Airiam - Cybersecurity for SMEs

By: Ohad Jehassi - CEO of Airiam 

Today, I’m thrilled to formally introduce you to Airiam.

The cybersecurity needs of small to midsize enterprises are not being met today…this is mostly due to the cybersecurity industry not adequately serving smaller businesses, but it’s also because these business owners either underestimate or don’t fully realize the risks they’re currently facing, or are about to face. We see many cybersecurity breaches and attacks occurring at large companies all over the news, so it is easy to have a “this will never happen to me” thought. 

According to Accenture’s Cost of Cybercrime Study, 43% of cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses, but only 14% are prepared to defend themselves.

It's a never-ending challenge to combat cybersecurity threats because they never stop evolving. Changing digital economies and trends are driving cybercrime and cybercriminals to evolve their attack patterns, targets and trends. Today, cybercriminals are looking for opportunities wherever they can, and underserved mid-market companies are at risk now more than ever. 

These attacks in small to medium markets are why we formed Airiam. We are a firm focusing exclusively on the broader Managed IT Service Providers space with a core focus on serving small and mid-sized businesses with outsourced IT and cybersecurity. In short, we’re providing big enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions for SMEs.

Airiam is a newly-formed company with a strong focus on cybersecurity, combining the services and strengths of its acquired companies:

  • Pennsylvania-based MePush is a managed service and ransomware incident response services company that responds to and recovers 100+ incidents a year while developing long-term IT and cyber security relationships through positive outcomes. 
  • Houston-based Indigo Beam partners with SME/Enterprise clients in the energy, government, and other sectors and specializes in digital transformation and innovative mobile/web applications.
  • Houston-based LOGIC Solutions Group makes the world of information management and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) more accessible.
  • Alabama-based Syntervision is the developer of a robust cybersecurity XDR, SIEM, and SOAR solution in addition to a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC).
  • Wisconsin-based Transcendent is an IT managed services company and Value Added Reseller (VAR) supporting SMEs and enterprises throughout Wisconsin and Chicago.

These organizations are now combined to create the new unified Airiam brand. Cybersecurity is complex, and it’s hard to grasp without expert help - especially for smaller companies. To be effective, every area of the organization must engage and participate. It only takes one successful cyberattack to damage an organization's reputation and finances.

Unfortunately, cybersecurity threats aren’t going away soon, and the data shows that small businesses are increasingly in the crosshairs of malicious hackers. SMEs need to take 360-degree cybersecurity measures to defend against malware, ransomware and bots.

Airiam provides businesses with extensive enterprise-grade cybersecurity services backed by our Airiam ransomware recovery guarantee and offers a full suite of managed IT and cybersecurity solutions. At Airiam, we’ll continue to grow our world-class family of products and platforms to manage IT and digital transformation that protect and serve our SME customers.

Ohad Jehassi Elliot Luchansky, CFA Wow! What started as an idea in late 2020 is now a reality. We shared a vision to grow a business that would create a better and more flexible workplace, be able to serve businesses anywhere, and guarantee our clients would not experience the pain of ransomware. My hat goes off to every one of our 150+ talented and committed team members across the US that show up each day to make our clients more productive and secure than they were yesterday.
