Calyptix Security Launches Cloud Management Platform to Streamline MSP Firewall Fleet Management
Calyptix Cloud Manager enables MSPs to centrally manage, configure, and monitor AccessEnforcer firewalls with ease. 'CCM was developed hand-in-hand with our MSP community to meet that need.'— Ben Yarbrough CHARLOTTE, NC, UNITED STATES, June 27, 2025 / / -- Calyptix Security Corporation, an all-in-one network security provider for small and medium-sized businesses, today is publicly announcing the release of Calyptix Cloud Manager (CCM), a centralized cloud platform for managing its AccessEnforcer® UTM firewalls. CCM is not a standalone product but an exclusive extension for AccessEnforcer deployments, giving managed service providers (MSPs) and IT professionals a 'single pane of glass' to oversee their entire fleet of firewalls. With this launch, Calyptix addresses a long-standing partner demand for easy, scalable fleet management, empowering partners to monitor, configure, and update all client firewalls from one interface. Calyptix Cloud Manager transforms the way partners maintain distributed networks. 'For years, our partners have asked for a more efficient way to manage multiple client firewalls,' said Ben Yarbrough, CEO of Calyptix Security. 'CCM was developed hand-in-hand with our MSP community to meet that need. By consolidating firewall oversight into one cloud platform, we're delivering a modern, scalable solution that helps our partners save time and operate more effectively. They can now implement updates, monitor bandwidth, and enforce policies across dozens of sites in seconds – this is a game-changer for anyone managing many SMB networks.' CCM delivers significant value to MSPs by providing: • Centralized Fleet Visibility: View the status and performance of all AccessEnforcer devices in one dashboard. Administrators can observe real-time traffic across the fleet – including live upload/download bandwidth usage per site – and instantly see device-specific metrics like current connection counts. • Unified Policy Management: Configure and sync security settings across multiple firewalls simultaneously. Key features such as web content filtering, intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS), and Geo Fence country-based traffic control can be managed centrally through CCM, ensuring consistent protection policies across all locations. • Efficient Bulk Updates: CCM's platform allows one-click, multi-device updates and uses configuration syncing to apply changes uniformly, eliminating the need to touch each device individually. • Organizational Tagging & Grouping: A flexible tagging system lets partners label and group devices by client, site, or any custom category for fast organization. Tags simplify bulk operations – for example, updating all firewalls in a specific region – and streamline monitoring by filtering the fleet view to specific groups. • Deep Connection Insights: Drill down into active network connections on any AccessEnforcer in real time. Technicians can filter live connection lists by IP address, port number, or traffic direction to quickly pinpoint suspicious activity or troubleshooting issues, all from the central console. CCM is available now to all Calyptix partners. As a cloud service addon for AccessEnforcer, it requires no additional hardware. The platform's scalable cloud architecture ensures that MSPs can grow their deployments without outgrowing the management tool. With enterprise-grade visibility and control tailored to SMB needs, CCM reinforces Calyptix's commitment to helping small-business customers stay secure without adding complexity.

Calyptix and ITIC 2025 SMB Security Survey: 86% Cite Breaches as Top Threat, 49% Boost Security Budgets
Joint Calyptix and ITIC survey reveals SMB security concerns, rising costs of downtime, and increased investment in cybersecurity. 'SMBs face the same security risks as large enterprises but with fewer resources, making cybersecurity investments critical,' — Laura DiDio, ITIC Principal CHARLOTTE, NC, UNITED STATES, February 28, 2025 / / -- An 86% majority of small businesses say that security is the top business and technology threat facing their firms and the issue most likely to disrupt business operations, cause downtime and heighten the risk of non-compliance and litigation. Those are the results of the newly released 2025 SMB Security and Hourly Cost of Downtime survey jointly conducted by Calyptix Security Corp., a maker of UTM firewalls for small businesses, and Information Technology Intelligence Consulting Corp. (ITIC), a Boston, MA-based research and consulting firm. The Calyptix ITIC 2025 SMB Security and Hourly Cost of Downtime Survey also found that 75% of small businesses said human left their firms vulnerable to security hacks. Some 69% of respondents said issues relating to remote/hybrid work environments raise security risks. The Calyptix and ITIC 2025 SMB Security and Hourly Cost of Downtime Survey polled a total of 715 SMB organizations including 115 Calyptix partner MSPs and corporate customers and an additional 600 small businesses from October through December 2024. The independent Web-based survey included multiple choice and essay questions. 'SMBs and micro-SMB organizations with 1 to 20, 50 or 100 employees are 'our people',' said Calyptix chief executive Ben Yarbrough. 'This SMB Security survey focused on the unique challenges faced by the millions of SMB firms in the U.S. who are an often-overlooked constituency.' According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Annual Business Survey latest statistics, a 98% majority of SMBs have fewer than 100 employees and 89% have fewer than 20 employees. 'The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that SMBs contribute approximately 44% of the total revenue for all U.S.-based businesses. They face the same security threats as large enterprises but have fewer monetary and technology resources to repel targeted hacks,' said Laura DiDio, ITIC Principal. Among the other Calyptix ITIC 2025 SMB Security and Hourly Cost of Downtime highlights: • Remote employees are a top concern. Nearly 70% of survey respondents said that end users – especially remote employees – are their biggest concern because they are often lax in installing or turning on security features like anti-virus, anti-Phishing and even firewall security. Survey participants said many remote workers do not have security on their devices when they access sensitive data on the corporate network, leaving it vulnerable to security breaches and hackers. • Downtime costs: Nearly four-in-10 or 37% of Calyptix small business MSP partners and customers said the cost of a single hour of downtime costs from $1,000 to $5,000. At the end of the spectrum, eight percent (8%) said a single hour of downtime due to a security incident can cost their firms from $25,001 to over $100,000. • Security spending: The SMB and micro-SMB and MSP survey respondents recognize the importance of securing their environments. Over one quarter or 26% spend $1,000 to $1,000 to $5,000 annually on security products and services; 14 % of respondents spend $5,001 to $10,000 annually on security; 20% spend from $10,001 to $50,000 yearly on security and nine percent expend $50,001 to $100,000+ on their security budgets.
