The threats you never see are the nine tenths we watch.
Modern endpoint detection, identity hardening, and incident response for Alaska small businesses. Built around what actually compromises SMBs in 2026, not what compromised them in 2018.
Freeze Frame Solutions · Anchorage, Alaska
The truth about how small businesses get hit.
Most Alaska small businesses think they are too small to be targeted. They are wrong. The vast majority of cyber incidents at SMBs are not sophisticated nation-state attacks. They are a phished Microsoft 365 password, an account takeover that nobody noticed for two weeks, a ransomware payload delivered through a fake QuickBooks invoice, or a remote-access tool installed on a workstation by an employee who downloaded it to "fix something." The defenses against these attacks exist, they are inexpensive, and most small businesses do not have any of them in place.
What managed cybersecurity includes
Five defenses, running all the time.
Endpoint Detection and Response via Huntress
Real human threat hunters reviewing alerts on every machine you own, 24/7. Not signature-based antivirus from 2010. Huntress catches the post-exploitation behavior antivirus misses.
M365 and Google Workspace identity hardening
MFA enforced on every account, conditional access policies for risky sign-ins, mailbox audit logging, and impossible-travel alerts. The single highest-leverage security control for small businesses.
Endpoint encryption and patch enforcement
BitLocker on Windows, FileVault on Mac, configured and verified. Operating system and third-party patches applied within a tested window. Lost laptops stop being a breach.
Phishing simulation and awareness training
Regular tests so your team learns to spot the bait before they bite. Track click rates over time and target retraining where it's needed.
Incident response when something does happen
If you see something weird, or if Huntress sees something weird, we triage it immediately. Containment within the first hour is the difference between a scary email and a five-figure ransomware payment.
What this is not
We are not a CMMC compliance firm. We are not a penetration testing shop. We are not a SOC2 auditor. If you need formal compliance work for a federal contract, we will refer you to a partner who specializes in that. What we do is the security work that prevents the actual compromises that hit Anchorage businesses every month: phished accounts, lost laptops, ransomware via email, account takeovers in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Security isn't an add-on here. It's in every contract.
Cybersecurity is not a separate product line for Freeze Frame Solutions. Every managed IT contract includes the security stack above. There is no "basic" tier where security is upsold. We do not believe selling security as an add-on is honest in 2026. The threat landscape changed. The contracts should change with it.
