SH3

SH3 offers IT solutions such as network installation, on-site and off-site data backup and active scanning firewalls service. In practice that means assessing, monitoring and responding to security threats on your behalf.

It makes the most sense for companies without a full security team. They also list Data Center and Network Security, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

SH3 is based in Fredericksburg, Virginia and founded in 1988. Their site is sh3inc.com.

Our checklist for this category: response times, what is included in monitoring, and reporting. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with SH3, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
