Southfield, MI, July 15th, 2021 — Apex Digital Solutions announced today the expansion of their Aegis security services portfolio through the addition of two key security partners: CRITICALSTART, a market-leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider based in Plano, Texas as well as Antigen Security, an incident response and recovery engineering firm based in Holt, Michigan. 

“We aim to empower our customers to be more secure. We developed Aegis to advise and guide organizations in an increasingly complex world of cyber threats and a myriad of security solutions and services,” said Jason Lambiris, CEO of Apex Digital Solutions. “Today’s reality is most organizations will be impacted by a cyber attack. Through partnerships with CRITICALSTART and Antigen, we are able to assist our customers with reducing risk and minimizing the impacts of a breach.”

Aegis leverages best-in-class technology from Microsoft combined with dedicated security experts. The Aegis suite of services help customers manage, detect, and respond to threats within their environments using the Microsoft 365 and Azure security and compliance portfolio. By better securing organizations across identities, devices, applications, infrastructure, network and data, Aegis provides organizations confidence that they can secure their business and their data no matter where their users or workloads exist. In combination with the Vantage Maturity Model, Aegis enables customers to continuously evaluate and identify how to clearly improve their capability and operational maturity over time.

“We are thrilled to partner with Apex Digital Solutions to further enhance the capabilities of the Aegis security services portfolio,” said Dwayne Meyers, VP, Channels & Alliances at CRITICALSTART. “The threat landscape is rapidly evolving as today’s organizations become more and more inundated with security alerts and risk. With our MDR services, Aegis customers can rest assured that all threats will be detected, investigated and responded to as quickly as possible.”

“Aegis addresses both proactive and reactive response measures for customers, powered by Microsoft technologies and driven by experts who specialize in the solutions they are providing,” said Steven Legg, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Antigen Security, “This approach resonates with how we operate at Antigen, as we believe Security should be an ongoing part of your business mindset, not a box to be checked. Apex takes this thinking to heart with Aegis and we are very excited to offer incident response services to customers alongside the Apex team.”
