February 22, 2023, New York and San Francisco – Cybersecurity leader Bridge Security Advisors (BSA) today announced the addition of Essential Security Solution (ESS), a Managed Security Solution (MSS) offering, to its portfolio. Designed to provide global enterprises with on-demand cybersecurity solutions at scale, BSA’s ESS is a fully customizable 24/7 Cybersecurity-as-a-Service functioning under the direction of a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) specifically chosen for their industry vertical expertise. 

BSA Chief Executive Officer Matthew Tuttle said, “Against the accelerating threat landscape posed by cyberattacks such as ransomware, Small Medium Businesses & Enterprises (SMB/E) are finding themselves under constant attack. Boards, shareholders, and customers are demanding organizations improve their security postures. BSA’s Essential Security Solution brings immediate benefits to people, processes, and technology that combined with the 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), lower risk, accelerate detection and improve response. This allows SMB/E to get substantially more value from their IT/IS investments and reduce the risk of business disruption from cyber events.
