Managed cyber security solutions to help you sleep at night

Deploy or improve a managed detection and response (MDR) service

ContraForce transforms how managed security services are delivered by allowing MSPs to jumpstart a new line of business, improve their margins and deliver better client outcomes.

The ContraForce Security Service Delivery Platform (SSDP) is specially built for MSPs. It decouples security services from the underlying software used to provide them and employs automation to improve service delivery. The platform simplifies complex security operations, enabling MSPs to accelerate security practice builds.

Microsoft Security Activated

Drive increased productivity through your Microsoft practice, using the velocity and scale of the ContraForce SSDP to manage, operate and automate your existing Microsoft security stack with optimal workflows, built-in security engineering content, and enhanced multi-tenancy.

ContraForce has been a proud member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) since 2021 and was awarded Microsoft’s Security Software Innovator finalist in 2023 and Security ISV of the year in 2024.
