Auto Repair Shops and Auto Groups

Someone Is Watching the Shop Network Overnight, Including the Cameras and Guest Wi-Fi.

A repair shop has more connected devices than most owners count. We watch your computers, accounts and network around the clock, and respond when something looks wrong.

For shops and multi-location groups with a payment network, cameras and customers on the Wi-Fi.

Managed Security Monitoring (MDR and SOC) for Auto Repair Shops and Auto Groups

What Is Actually Connected in a Repair Shop?

Service writer and manager computers, bay workstations or tablets, card terminals, a router and firewall, customer Wi-Fi, a camera system with a recorder, and often a printer or two. Each one is a way in if it is left on default settings.

Most of that has no screen anyone checks. A camera recorder or a guest access point can be compromised for weeks without a person at the shop noticing.

How Does Monitoring Treat Payment, Camera and Guest Segments?

Because the network is kept in segments, monitoring can tell the difference between normal and strange for each one. A camera recorder reaching out to an unknown address, or a guest device trying to reach the payment segment, is the kind of event our analysts look for.

Segmentation is set up under network and Wi-Fi management. Monitoring is what notices when something tests the walls.

Network and Wi-Fi Management

What Happens at Night or on a Weekend?

Our security operations center collects logs and alerts from your endpoints, cloud accounts and network, and analysts investigate and act: isolating a device, disabling an account, stopping a process. That does not depend on anyone being at the shop.

Will You Tell Me What You Saw?

Yes, in plain language: what we saw, what we did and what needs a decision from you. Multi-location owners get a view across every site, so a pattern at one store is caught before it reaches the next.

Frequently Asked Questions

4 QUESTIONS
Is monitoring enough to protect the shop on its own?

No. Monitoring works best on top of multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, patching, backups and trained staff. Managed security is the program that keeps all of those in place.

Do you monitor our security cameras?

We watch the network the cameras sit on and the segment they are isolated in. Ask us on the call about the camera devices themselves.

Who responds if there is an incident at night?

Our team. The response plan is written ahead of time so everyone knows who decides what.

Does monitoring cover several locations?

Yes. Every location reports to the same place, so one analyst view covers all your shops.
