A Wake-Up Call for Mid-Market and Small Business Cybersecurity
Cyber risk is no longer a distant concern for mid-market and small businesses. In 2024, cyber insurance claim frequency spiked by more than 15%, with companies generating $100–$500 million in revenue facing a staggering 48% increase, according to At-Bay’s 2025 InsurSec Report. In response to this threat, At-Bay has launched a dedicated Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) platform to help mid-sized and small businesses combat growing cyber risks with enterprise-grade protection.
What Is At-Bay’s Stance™ MXDR Platform?
At-Bay’s Stance™ MXDR platform is designed to provide 24/7 threat detection, incident response, and complete remediation across the most commonly targeted digital assets:
- Endpoints
- Cloud environments
- Identity systems
- Email infrastructure
This is designed to prevent cyberattacks before they succeed, thereby reducing the need for costly insurance claims and mitigating potential damage.
Why Mid-Market and Small Businesses Are Under Siege
Digitization is a two-sided coin; efficiency is the positive side, but it also makes companies vulnerable targets for cybercriminals. Yet many mid-sized and small firms lack the security teams, tools, or budgets required to defend themselves.
“Detection technologies have never been more effective, but most companies lack the resources and expertise to make them a good investment,” said Travis Mercier, Head of Managed Detection and Response at At-Bay Security.
“Our MXDR platform bridges that gap by combining best-in-class detection with expert-led response. It’s purpose-built for today’s fragmented threat landscape. It delivers a depth of service that’s typically unattainable in the mid-to-small business market.”
Strategic Alliance: At-Bay + SentinelOne
To further strengthen its capabilities, At-Bay has formed a strategic partnership with SentinelOne, a leader in AI-powered cybersecurity. This collaboration integrates SentinelOne’s Singularity™ Platform into At-Bay’s MXDR, delivering seamless protection across:
- Endpoints
- Cloud workloads
- User identity
- Infrastructure
“Mid-sized and small businesses face the same threats as large enterprises, but often without the same security resources or expertise,” said Tracy Ryan, Vice President of Global Alliances at SentinelOne. “By partnering with At-Bay, we’re extending the reach of SentinelOne’s AI-driven protection to this underserved segment through a scalable and easy-to-deploy MXDR offering that delivers real results.”
Key Features of At-Bay Stance™ MXDR
- 24/7 Threat Monitoring: Always-on surveillance to detect and stop threats early.
