ActZero

AI-driven managed detection and response (MDR) that gives mid-market businesses enterprise-grade security operations.

BALANCED+ partners with ActZero to provide AI-powered managed detection and response (MDR) services tailored for mid-market businesses across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. ActZero combines machine learning with human expertise to deliver 24/7 threat monitoring, detection, and response at a fraction of the cost of building an in-house security operations centre (SOC).

ActZero ingests telemetry from endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, and identity platforms, using proprietary AI models to identify threats faster and more accurately than traditional rule-based security tools. When threats are detected, ActZero security analysts investigate and respond in real time, containing threats before they escalate into breaches.

For mid-market organizations in the GTA, the economics of MDR are compelling. Building an internal SOC requires a minimum investment of $1.5M+ annually for staffing, tooling, and infrastructure. ActZero delivers equivalent, and often superior, threat detection and response capabilities at a predictable monthly cost that fits mid-market budgets. BALANCED+ manages the integration and ongoing relationship, ensuring ActZero is tuned to your specific environment and risk profile.

ActZero covers the full attack surface: endpoints via integration with leading EDR platforms, network traffic analysis, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace monitoring, and cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. The platform provides a unified view of threats across all these environments, correlating signals that siloed security tools would miss. This cross-environment visibility is critical as attackers increasingly chain together compromises across endpoints, email, and cloud services.

BALANCED+ handles the deployment, tuning, and ongoing management of ActZero MDR for our clients. We work with your team to define response playbooks, escalation procedures, and reporting cadences, ensuring that ActZero integrates seamlessly into your operations and delivers measurable improvement to your security posture.
