The secure, extensible technology architecture for business
vXarch Overview
Building upon our Advanced IT Service Package, vXarch is a constantly evolving system of technology components, policies, processes and services aimed at providing appropriate and necessary cybersecurity protections.
Always Evolving
Threats to your business are constantly evolving as are the technologies and best practices to defend your business. We realized it was impossible to develop a single solution that could remain static yet protect for years in the future. As such, vXarch is built as a dynamic set of protections that evolve over time. In order to maintain a sense of understanding as things change, all of our solutions are versioned with the year and quarter in which they were developed. As needs change, you will be updated to the newer version of vXarch as appropriate and required to protect your business.
The components in the chart below are for illustrative purposes and reflect our 2022.03 version of vXarch.
