Key Statistics
Overview
August eTech is a managed service provider and managed security service provider delivering IT support, cybersecurity, cloud management, infrastructure services, and strategic technology guidance.
The company helps organizations manage their technology operations, protect sensitive information, meet compliance requirements, and address cyber insurance controls. Its services include network and firewall management, endpoint protection, cloud infrastructure, data protection, monitoring, and security consulting.
To evaluate the platform firsthand, the team initially deployed iboss within August eTech's own environment. After seeing the visibility, security, and management benefits, the company expanded the platform to its client base.
August eTech has now delivered iboss to 350 clients and plans to continue adding more. As adoption grows, the platform provides a scalable way for the company to extend consistent cloud-delivered security, improve visibility, and support AI security requirements across client environments.
August eTech's Challenge
August eTech previously relied on traditional DNS filtering to protect users. While this provided basic website filtering, the company needed greater visibility into network traffic, user activity, and how cloud and AI applications were being used.
The team also needed to maintain consistent firewall and web security controls for users working outside traditional office environments. This was particularly important because August eTech works closely with clients to address cybersecurity and cyber insurance requirements.
In addition, the company wanted to strengthen its ability to secure and govern the use of AI applications. August eTech needed greater visibility into AI activity and a platform that could support reporting, governance, and policy enforcement as AI adoption continued to increase.
As an MSP, August eTech also needed a solution that could scale as more clients adopted the service without creating unnecessary operational complexity for its team.
August eTech's iboss Solution
August eTech initially deployed iboss within its own environment to test and validate the platform's cloud-delivered security capabilities.
Using the iboss Secure Web Gateway, the company was able to inspect web activity, apply mobile content filtering, and enforce consistent security policies regardless of where users connected.
The deployment also provided a dedicated source IP address, allowing August eTech and its clients to restrict access to approved websites, applications, and services through a single trusted IP address. This provided an effective way to maintain access controls for users working remotely or on the road.
The platform also supports August eTech's AI security requirements by providing greater visibility into the use of AI applications and helping the company address governance and reporting needs.
After validating iboss internally, August eTech began expanding the platform across its client base. The company has now delivered iboss to 350 clients and plans to continue adding more.
Because the platform is delivered through the cloud, August eTech can scale security services as its business grows while applying consistent policies, maintaining visibility, and supporting client requirements across multiple environments.
We work very closely with our customers on their cyber insurance policies, and iboss allowed us to meet the applicable requirements while enabling employees to work securely on the road.
