Net.Protect is Bayport Networks' managed cybersecurity service providing 24/7 Security Operations Center monitoring, endpoint detection and response, and continuous compliance reporting for Bay Area businesses.
How It Works
Your Environment
Your existing endpoints, users, and infrastructure stay in place.
Bayport Networks
We configure, monitor, and manage your security layer. One team. One escalation path.
24/7 Protection
Our SOC monitors around the clock. Threats are contained automatically. You get a quarterly review.
You see one team. We coordinate everything behind the scenes.
AI-Powered Detection Built In
Every Net.Protect tier uses machine learning and AI-driven detection under the hood. Our SOC uses AI to triage alerts and identify threats in real time. Your endpoint protection uses behavioral analysis to detect attacks that signature-based tools miss. You don't need to buy a separate AI security product — it's already part of your protection.
Need more than detection? Our AI consulting services help your team adopt AI tools safely, govern shadow AI, and meet emerging regulatory requirements around AI use.

Most engagements for organizations with 50–500 endpoints land in the low-to-mid four figures monthly.
We don't require you to replace your existing IT provider or tools.

Already Have Part of the Stack?
Many of our clients come to us with tools already in place — CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Duo, Arctic Wolf. Net.Protect is designed to layer on top of what you have, not rip and replace it.
You Bring
- Your existing EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, etc.)
- Your existing MFA solution
- Your current IT team or MSP
- Your firewall and network infrastructure
We Add
- 24/7 SOC monitoring by human analysts

We scope every engagement to your environment. No duplicate tooling. No wasted spend.
What is the Net.Protect overlay model?
The Net.Protect overlay model allows businesses to keep their existing IT team or managed services provider while Bayport Networks adds a dedicated security layer on top. This includes 24/7 SOC monitoring, endpoint detection and response, and compliance reporting, all without requiring a rip-and-replace of current IT infrastructure. Bayport's security analysts act as an extension of the client's team: monitoring is always included, and hands-on remediation is billed only when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Net.Protect is designed to layer on top of your existing IT setup. We work alongside your internal team or current MSP — no rip-and-replace required.
Monitoring, detection, automated containment, and compliance reporting are included in your Net.Protect subscription. Remediation and hands-on project work (incident response, policy changes, new device setup) are billed at preferred Net.Protect client rates.
Most environments are deployment-ready within 2–4 weeks. The timeline depends on your endpoint count and the complexity of your existing infrastructure.
Most tiers require a 12-month minimum commitment. This ensures we have time to properly configure your environment and demonstrate value through at least one full compliance reporting cycle.
We assess what you have in place and make a recommendation. In some cases your existing tools integrate well and we keep them. In others, we replace them with the managed stack — your choice.
Our standard tiers use an enterprise-grade EDR platform selected for its detection accuracy and managed SOC integration. The Enterprise tier upgrades to a premium EDR agent recognized as an industry leader. We select and manage the tools — you get the protection without the vendor complexity.
Yes. 46% of cyberattacks target businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees. Attackers automate their scans looking for low-hanging fruit — SMBs without 24/7 monitoring are specifically sought out, not ignored. The average cost of a breach for an SMB is $140,000. Net.Protect exists because this math doesn't change based on your headcount.
Your Net.Protect Premium and Enterprise tiers include 24/7 SOC monitoring by human analysts. When an anomaly is detected, our team triages and contains the threat automatically. For full remediation, your preferred-rate engineering team is engaged within one hour. You will never be trying to reach us for the first time during a breach — we already know your environment.
CrowdStrike is a tool. Net.Protect is managed coverage. Buying Falcon directly means your team is responsible for configuring it, monitoring the alerts, and responding when something fires at 2 AM. Net.Protect includes the tool and the human operation — 24/7 monitoring, tuning, containment, and compliance documentation — in one monthly commitment.
The quarterly compliance evidence package in Premium and Enterprise aligns with HIPAA technical safeguards, SOC 2 Type II readiness requirements, NIST CSF 2.0, and the documentation requirements of most cyber insurance underwriters. Enterprise adds audit-grade logging for CMMC and regulated industries. We assess framework fit in the scoping call before you sign anything.
No. The Net.Protect overlay model is designed to work alongside your existing IT team or managed services provider. Bayport adds a security layer on top of your current infrastructure without requiring any changes to your IT support arrangements.
Most overlay deployments are completed within 5 to 10 business days. Full-stack deployments, which include infrastructure migration, typically require 30 to 60 days depending on environment complexity.
