Chicago Cybersecurity
For Growing Businesses
AI-powered attacks demand AI-powered protection. Get enterprise-grade security with 24/7 monitoring, rapid incident response, and expert protection for the Midwest's largest business hub, financial services corridor, and diverse economy.
Why Chicago Businesses Need
Professional Cybersecurity
Chicago is the Midwest's largest business hub and a top financial services center. The concentration of financial firms, professional services, manufacturing, and logistics companies makes it a high-value target for cyber attacks targeting sensitive financial data and intellectual property. Illinois BIPA (Biometric Information Privacy Act) is one of the strictest biometric privacy laws in the United States, and PIPA creates additional compliance obligations that businesses cannot afford to ignore.
Cyber Unit brings enterprise-grade protection to Chicago businesses that don't have Fortune 500 budgets. Our security services combine AI-powered threat detection with human expert analysis, 24/7 monitoring, and rapid incident response. And because security is tightly integrated with our Managed IT Services, there are no gaps between your IT team and your security team — because we're both. Take our free security assessment to see where your business stands.

Security That Works
With Your IT — Not Against It
Most security providers operate in a silo. They protect your systems but can't fix them. When something goes wrong, you're caught between vendors. Cyber Unit is different — we combine security and IT expertise under one roof.
Integrated Security & IT
Our security team knows your IT environment because they work with your IT team — or are your IT team. One team, complete visibility.
Faster Incident Response
When we detect a threat, we don't just alert you — we contain and remediate it. Security and IT working together means faster recovery.
Strategic Reporting
Monthly security reports and quarterly QBRs keep you informed. Your dedicated account manager translates security data into business insights.
AI + Human Expertise
AI detects threats instantly. Human analysts investigate and respond. You get the speed of automation with the judgment of experts.
- Security siloed from IT
- Alerts without action
- Generic security products
- Per-incident billing
- No strategic guidance
- Security + IT under one roof
- Detection and remediation
- Solutions tailored to your business
- Predictable monthly pricing
- Dedicated account manager
