Your Business Is Under Siege—and Most Security Tools Are Not Enough
Every day, businesses across Raleigh, Durham, and the Research Triangle Park face an escalating barrage of cybersecurity threats. The question is no longer whether your organization will be targeted, but when, and whether your defenses will hold.
- Ransomware attacks have surged over 300% in the last three years, targeting small and mid-sized businesses that lack layered defenses. A single successful attack can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in downtime, data loss, and reputational damage for Triangle-area companies.
- Compliance requirements are multiplying and growing stricter. HIPAA, CMMC, NIST, DFARS, GDPR, and PCI-DSS each demand specific security controls. NC businesses that fail to implement the right tools face devastating fines and legal liability.
- Traditional antivirus and basic firewalls leave critical gaps. Legacy security tools rely on known threat signatures and fail to stop zero-day exploits, advanced persistent threats, and sophisticated phishing campaigns that specifically target Raleigh-Durham businesses.
- You lack the in-house expertise to manage a full security stack. Hiring a Chief Security Officer costs upward of $200,000 per year. Without strategic leadership, your security tools operate in silos, leaving dangerous blind spots across your network, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure.
- Phishing attacks remain the number-one attack vector, and your employees are the weakest link. Without continuous security awareness training combined with robust email filtering and encryption, every inbox in your organization is a potential entry point for cybercriminals operating in the Research Triangle region.
A Complete Cybersecurity Arsenal, Tailored and Managed for Your Business
Petronella Technology Group does not believe in one-size-fits-all cybersecurity. Operating from Raleigh, North Carolina, and serving businesses throughout the Triangle, PTG delivers a comprehensive, layered approach to security that blends proactive offense with reactive defense. Our patented Zero-Hack Cyber Safety Stack integrates up to 39 discrete security technologies and protocols into a unified defense posture that is customized to your specific risk profile, compliance requirements, and budget.
Unlike traditional managed security service providers that merely install tools and walk away, PTG embeds fractional Chief Security Officers and Chief Information Officers into your organization. These experienced professionals provide the strategic oversight that transforms a collection of disconnected security tools into a cohesive, continuously optimized cyber safety program. Every technology we deploy is monitored, updated, and tuned by certified PTG specialists who understand the unique threat landscape facing Raleigh, Durham, RTP, and greater NC businesses.
Our approach begins with our Four Pillars Assessment, which evaluates your organization through four critical lenses: Uptime, Business Applications, Shared Services, and Security. This assessment identifies gaps in your current defenses and maps the precise combination of security controls needed to achieve your protection goals. Whether you need basic cyber safety for essential defense, advanced controls for HIPAA and CMMC compliance, or our unhackable tier that matches military-grade security, PTG builds your stack from the ground up and manages it around the clock.
The PTG difference starts at the kernel level. While competitors rely on signature-based detection that can only identify known threats, our Cyber Safety technologies deploy proactive data prophylaxis that operates at the most fundamental layer of data storage. This means we stop malicious writes before they reach your disk, block zero-day exploits that have never been cataloged, and maintain protection even against threats that traditional cybersecurity tools cannot recognize.
Beyond endpoint protection, PTG deploys enterprise-grade network security tools including managed security appliances with intrusion detection systems, virtual private networks, VLAN segmentation, geo-blocking of hostile nations, content filtering, and DDoS protection. Our email security suite applies 59 layers of anti-virus, anti-phishing, and anti-spam filtering with the industry's lowest false-positive rate, supplemented by full email encryption for HIPAA-compliant communications.
Every component of your security infrastructure is backed by PTG's 24/7 help desk, ransomware-proof encrypted backups with verified clean restoration, and a breach reporting service with a 2-hour SLA that has maintained a 100% resolution rate since 2012. When you partner with PTG, you are not just buying cybersecurity tools. You are gaining a dedicated security operations team that treats your business as if it were our own.

Six Pillars of Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity Protection
Each technology in the PTG security stack is selected, configured, and managed by our certified team to provide maximum protection with minimum business disruption for organizations across Raleigh, Durham, and the Research Triangle.
Endpoint Detection & Response
PTG deploys next-generation endpoint protection that goes far beyond legacy antivirus solutions. Our endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform combines behavioral analytics, malicious software identification, system registry monitoring, and hypervisor-based sandboxing to detect and neutralize threats in real time. Every desktop, laptop, and mobile device in your organization is continuously monitored for suspicious activity, with automated containment triggered the instant anomalous behavior is detected. In comparative testing, our EDR solution has stopped 100% of all malware variants, where eight leading antivirus products scored between just 30% and 55%. This protection extends to keystroke encryption, screen-capture blocking, and peripheral driver security, ensuring that every user interaction is shielded from keyloggers, clickjacking, and data exfiltration attempts targeting Triangle-area businesses.
Network Security & Managed Firewalls
Our managed security appliances provide enterprise-grade network defense with intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), virtual private network (VPN) tunneling, VLAN segmentation for network isolation, and stealth-SSID wireless with MAC address security. PTG configures Transport Layer Security (TLS) across all connections, implements content filtering to restrict access to risky sites and social networks, and enforces geo-blocking to prevent network access from blacklisted countries including Russia and North Korea. For businesses in Raleigh, Durham, and RTP, this means your on-premise and cloud network environments are protected by multiple overlapping defensive layers, each monitored and managed by PTG's certified security team. Our network monitoring provides detailed visibility and comprehensive reporting, giving you full transparency into every connection and potential threat traversing your infrastructure.
Email Security & Encryption
Email remains the primary attack vector for cybercriminals targeting NC businesses, which is why PTG deploys a 59-layer email protection system that combines anti-virus, anti-phishing, and anti-spam filtering with the lowest false-positive rate in the industry. Our email security suite includes full end-to-end encryption that allows recipients to send, receive, forward, and reply to secure messages without special software. For HIPAA-regulated organizations across the Triangle, our system automatically detects and reroutes emails containing PII and PHI through encrypted channels to enforce compliance. Email shadowing provides 90 days of instant recovery for any inbound or outbound message, while email continuity ensures your team can send and receive mission-critical communications even during Office 365 outages. Admin notifications for quarantined messages and a dedicated IP address prevent blacklisting caused by shared-pool reputation issues common with standard Microsoft 365 deployments.
Data Encryption & Ransomware-Proof Backup
PTG implements comprehensive 256-bit encryption across every device and storage system in your organization, covering Mac, PC, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms. Our encryption extends to internal and external hard disks, email accounts, and cloud storage, with encrypted password vaults secured by biometric fingerprint readers for maximum credential protection. Our ransomware-proof backup solution ensures that even in a worst-case scenario, your business can recover completely. PTG's backup system creates verified clean restoration points for all desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Unlike standard backup solutions that can be compromised during a ransomware attack, our backup architecture is isolated and immutable, ensuring that your data remains safe and recoverable regardless of what happens to your primary systems. For Raleigh-Durham businesses handling sensitive data, this provides the last line of defense that guarantees business continuity.
Identity & Access Management
Unauthorized access is the gateway to data breaches, and PTG deploys robust identity and access management controls that lock down every entry point. Our advanced multi-factor authentication (MFA) serves as an overlay to all business applications and shared services, enforcing mandatory compliance across Office 365, payment systems, and mobile access points with SMS PIN verification. PTG's user access control framework follows the principle of least privilege, ensuring that employees access only the resources required for their role. Combined with our encrypted browser protection that enforces HTTPS connections, blocks malware domains, and prevents user tracking, and our user certification program that trains employees in confidentiality, anti-phishing, password best practices, and encryption protocols, PTG creates a human-and-machine defense perimeter that is resilient against both technical exploits and social engineering attacks targeting businesses throughout the North Carolina Triangle.
Compliance Frameworks & Security Controls
Navigating the complex world of regulatory compliance requires more than just technology; it demands expert guidance. PTG's team maps your existing infrastructure against the specific security controls required by HIPAA, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, DFARS, GDPR, SOX, and PCI-DSS. Our breach reporting service, in continuous operation since 2012 with 100% case resolution, provides automated regulatory reporting to relevant agencies through Certified Information Privacy Professionals. The service translates over 300 regulatory sets from 105 sovereign nations, performs harm threshold analysis, and manages consumer notification requirements. PTG also provides Business Associate Agreements for HIPAA-regulated organizations and conducts comprehensive gap assessments that reveal exactly where your current controls fall short. For businesses across Raleigh, Durham, and the Triangle, our compliance expertise means you achieve and maintain certification without the six-figure cost of a full-time compliance officer on staff.
