Endpoint Detection & Response
Huntress EDR with a 24/7 SOC on every endpoint, layered with Microsoft Defender. Ransomware behavior is detected and isolated before it spreads.
Cybersecurity Services in Seaside, California
Seaside is a working town in transition — military families, growing retail and restaurants, auto and repair shops, and the small businesses that keep daily life on the Peninsula moving. These are exactly the practical, busy businesses that attackers count on having no one watching their systems. Ghosxt brings government-grade cybersecurity, sized and priced for a Seaside small business, from a cleared DoD IT engineer.
Cybersecurity is built into every managed plan — pricing published upfront.
The Seaside threat picture
Retail and restaurants process card data and run point-of-sale that is a frequent target. Auto and repair shops hold customer records and increasingly run connected diagnostic and scheduling systems. Small offices and nonprofits often have one person handling email and money, so a single phished inbox can move funds. None of these have spare time to watch for intrusions — which is precisely the opening attackers use.
The fix is the same proven set of controls used on government endpoints, sized for a small business: EDR, phishing-resistant MFA, immutable backup, segmented payment networks, and a human watching 24/7. Being based on the Central Coast means on-site help is genuinely local.
What we secure
The same class of controls used to protect government endpoints, sized down for a Seaside small business without being dumbed down.
Identity & MFA
Phishing-resistant MFA, Conditional Access, and the death of legacy auth — the single highest-leverage control on a small business network. See identity hardening.
Retail & POS Security
PCI-aware point-of-sale protection and payment networks segmented from the back office, sized for a Seaside storefront or restaurant, not an enterprise.
Small-Office Identity
Phishing-resistant MFA and least-privilege access for lean offices, shops, and nonprofits where one person handles the money — closing the gap attackers exploit most.
Immutable Backup
Backups the production network cannot reach or delete, with monthly tested restores — so a ransomware hit is a bad day, not a closed business. See backup & DR.
24/7 Monitoring & Response
Tooling plus a human who responds. When something fires at 2 a.m., it is contained — not waiting in a queue. The speed of modern attacks demands it.

Seaside businesses that take cards face PCI obligations, and all of them face cyber-insurers who now require MFA, EDR, immutable backup, and email security before they renew. We put those controls in place and document them so the renewal is straightforward. Our cyber-insurance renewal checklist and ten security essentials are good starting points.
Local cybersecurity, part of a complete IT program
Security works best when the same team also runs the systems it protects. Our Seaside cybersecurity sits inside managed IT — monitoring, patching, help desk, cloud and Microsoft 365, and backup — so controls are maintained, not installed once and forgotten. For our statewide approach, see the main cybersecurity services page; for everything local, the Seaside IT services hub.
We are based on the Central Coast, so on-site response is genuinely local — same-day or next-day for non-emergencies, immediate remote response for anything critical. We also serve Marina, Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Salinas.
