Blue Mantis, a security-first IT services company dedicated to helping organizations modernize through next-generation technologies, has announced the launch of Blue Mantis Protect—a comprehensive, fully managed cybersecurity solution designed for midsized enterprises. The service combines advanced AI-driven threat detection with seasoned cybersecurity expertise to help IT teams protect their infrastructure against sophisticated attacks.

Purpose-Built for Midmarket Needs

Unlike large enterprises, many midmarket organizations lack the internal resources to run a full-scale security operations center (SOC). Blue Mantis Protect was developed to close this gap, offering enterprise-grade protection in a subscription-based model without the capital and staffing challenges of building in-house capabilities.

“With Blue Mantis Protect, we’re giving midsized businesses the same caliber of cybersecurity as Fortune 500 companies—without the complexity or overhead,” said Josh Dinneen, CEO of Blue Mantis. “Our platform is engineered to strengthen security posture, reduce operational risk, and enable IT teams to focus on business priorities.”

24/7 Managed Defense and Modular Services

The service provides round-the-clock AI-enhanced monitoring and response, dark web surveillance, vulnerability management, and proactive threat hunting—all managed by Blue Mantis analysts. To meet varied business needs, Blue Mantis Protect offers a modular ecosystem of nine integrated solutions, which can be deployed individually or as a unified stack:

Managed Detection and Response (MDR): Real-time monitoring and rapid incident response powered by adaptive machine learning.

  • Managed EDR/XDR: Continuous endpoint and device protection with automated risk-based policies.
  • Managed Email Security: Advanced filtering to block phishing, malware, and account takeover attempts.
  • Managed CNAPP: Cloud-native application security across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
  • Managed SSE: Zero Trust network access for remote users, replacing legacy VPNs.
  • Threat Hunting: Proactive identification of hidden adversaries before damage occurs.
  • Vulnerability Management: Ongoing detection and prioritization of risks across networks, apps, and devices.
  • Dark Web Monitoring: Automated intelligence scanning millions of events daily for compromised credentials.
  • GRC-as-a-Service: Streamlined compliance with frameworks such as NIST CSF, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.

By combining these services with its broader IT managed services portfolio, Blue Mantis enables customers to shift from reactive to predictive defense strategies with unified visibility and control.

Customer-Validated Impact

Organizations are already realizing the benefits. “We needed to consolidate and simplify our security operations,” said James Aikman, Head of IT and Operations at a leading publishing company. “Our previous provider left us with fragmented services. Blue Mantis Protect unifies MDR, XDR, threat hunting, and vulnerability management into a cohesive, effective program.”

Engineered for Practical Security

Blue Mantis leadership emphasizes the platform’s balance of strength and usability. “Midmarket teams are often overwhelmed by tool sprawl and alert fatigue,” said Jay Martin, CISO at Blue Mantis. “Mantis Protect delivers measurable impact without disrupting day-to-day operations—bringing enterprise-level security within reach for organizations that need it most.”
