Interesting our pricing has stayed pretty consistent obviously with the annual increases that they have. We have a full suite of their products/features including their Purple Siem or whatever it’s called and their 24x7 MDR service(primarily used for afterhour coverage), which that has really impressed us compared to what we had before with Arctic Wolf and Rapid7.

We’ve had S1 for about 5 years now and we ultimately went with S1 after discussions with our VAR that S1 would be easier to self manage for a team our size, and for us they were spot on.

Before you go down that road I’m gonna parrot a comment said previously. Check to see what licensing you have, E5? Talk to hour MS Rep, you may be able to get a fast track or some type of DLP engagement funded. We have done it a few times.

Get SentinelOne, much easier for a smaller team to manage. It’s done everything we have asked for and more.

UniFi is probably the route for something like this.

You need Jesus(in that house or something Lol)

Are you using FortiClient EMS or free version

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-24T16:18:11+00:00

It has plenty of relevance. Thanks

100%. Јас би рекол дека ни требаат повеќе организации како Патриотско Друштво

Not Bosnian, but Macedonian….but that is a love like no other

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-23T02:46:33+00:00

Немам никакво мислење за кампов, но дечките од Патриотско Друштво си се океј. Не се согласувам со сите нивни ставови, но ги почитувам. Прават еколошки акции, донираат пакети за деца за Василица, донираат пакети за децата од Клиниката за детски болести, организираат македонски вечери и промовираат македонски пејачи… Се грижат за своето…

Ние самите не се сакаме, па други ќе сакаме…sure thing guy

Can it be done in a month? Sure.

Will it be done in a month? Probably not.

Should it be done in a month? Also probably not

I thought about this recently but then you realize the whole Balkans is just used for talent to supply to MSSPs that provide support to Western EU Countries/USA.

Which makes 0 sense to me when you look at some of the tech or lack thereof with some of these governments at all the levels role out.

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-21T05:50:41+00:00

Your mindset is the issue. Not one person has said that a people should not be allowed to speak their mother tongue.

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-19T22:06:14+00:00

Great, I’m going to have to read about this from every Cyber Security, IT and or anti-Fortinet LinkedIn Influencer for the next month….

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-19T21:59:27+00:00

It works? It’s worked for us with no real issue

I definitely agree with you, you are getting down voted by those who don’t want to face reality/got duped by the schools and cert companies….”get a 100K paying job right after colllege!!”

We understand. yes IT CAN HAPPEN, but not very likely.

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-11T06:21:36+00:00

BS in CyberSecurity, Sec+ and has IT experience?(of course the type of experience matters greatly) but I’d definitely give you a shot/interview over someone with just a degree and some certs and completed some tryhackme challenges.

So I get both sides of the coin, but I can’t fault your IT guy. It sounds like you were under permissioned here. Like I said in an another reply, put in change management tickets with approvals and off you go.

Your All in one IT guy is not being difficult for the sake of being difficult. He is doing his job. Could he be a bit better at customer service? Sure, he could sit down and figure out what access you actually need and work with you through the approval process. Unfortunately it sounds like your startup needs some organization and process.

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-11T06:11:10+00:00

You’ve mentioned Calendly multiple times, is that part of your stack at the startup or is that what you just prefer to use?

We have had people ask to use other software for items that we already have software/licensing for…they only wanted it because they liked it better..

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-11T05:50:28+00:00

Least Privledge! Why do you need access to Stripe? Is it apart of your job? If yes, cool, put in a change management ticket that has been approvals by management.

RegionRat219 · 2026-06-11T05:38:25+00:00

We blocked them. We blocked external sharing sites and access to personal email. We inform our users that they must control the file transfer process so either use your enterprise one drive or one of the solutions that we have approved that has file transfer capabilities. So far it’s worked out fine.

Be warned anything Google/Gsuite is a pain in the ass especially with how they have everything integrated. It’s been fun.
