Our Capabilities Are Expanding (and Your SMB Can Reap the Benefits)
We’ve always prided ourselves on offering Kansas City the best managed IT services in the region, but after our acquisition we now have even more to offer our area’s SMBs. Becoming a part of Corporate Technologies means there’s even more depth and breadth in the resources we have to help you with all your technology challenges.
Cybersecurity protection
According to 2026 data from the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (VBIR), system intrusion was the cause of nearly all breaches for SMBs, and 83% of those incidents were through ransomware. Cybercriminals want to get into your systems so they can access sensitive data and make you pay to get it back, and they know smaller businesses often lack the strong defenses enterprises have.
Cybersecurity is incredibly complex, but Corporate Technologies has a simple plan to cover your SMB, called Secure Advantage. The program not only protects your business from cybersecurity incidents and breaches (including ransomware), but it helps you meet data security compliance requirements for frameworks like CMMC and NIST.
Data backup and recovery
Data loss is a growing problem, in part thanks to AI. Proofpoint research in 2025 revealed that 85% of organizations experienced a data loss incident in the last 12 months. The IT security professionals surveyed said that while actions by people remained the biggest challenges in protecting data, AI played a role in data loss as well. They pointed to data loss via public or enterprise GenAI tools (39.7%), use of sensitive data in AI training datasets (35.9%), and unsupervised data access from agentic AI (31.7%) as some of their top risks.
Corporate Technologies offers a robust approach to helping you stave off these risks, including:
- A data storage management solution tailored specifically for your business
- Remote backups made consistently through the cloud to protect your business from costly data loss
- Virtualization to optimize and manage your IT infrastructure from any location
- Enterprise hybrid cloud storage
- Tiered storage
- Live archiving
- Cloud-based data protection
- Disaster recovery
CEO fraud detection
This is a unique service that I think will benefit a lot of Kansas City SMB leaders. CEO fraud attacks target everyday employees in your organization when a cybercriminal pretends to be an executive in your organization. It doesn’t always have to be the CEO — scammers could impersonate a CFO or IT leader.
The goal is to get an employee to send funds or login information to attack your systems. They count on your team rushing to get you what’s being requested without thinking too much about it — they just know their “boss” is asking them to execute a task in a hurry. But it isn’t you. It’s a scam.
This type of social engineering attack isn’t new, but in the past, bad actors have largely used written communication like emails or texts to trick employees. AI has opened the door for deepfakes — video or voice impersonation of an individual — to make fraudulent attacks even more believable. Onfido found that, in 2023 (when consumer AI tools like ChatGPT became readily available), deepfakes increased 31x over the previous year.
As part of Corporate Technologies’ CEO Fraud Detection service, we can deploy advanced security policies to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats and train your team to detect and avoid these types of attacks.
