Las Vegas, NV – Intelligent Technical Solutions (ITS), a managed security services provider, has launched the Black Breach Security Division, its dedicated cybersecurity team, bringing together the expertise of both organizations to deliver military-grade threat protection to clients nationwide.
The announcement follows ITS's earlier acquisition of Atlanta-based cybersecurity firm Black Breach, LLC, expanding the company’s ability to serve clients in highly regulated industries with advanced threat protection, agnostic SOC, MDR, manual penetration testing, and virtual CISO services.
