Cybersecurity monitoring tools that catch threats early, with real people watching. Family-run since 1994, LME pairs 24/7 monitoring with local technicians who keep your systems secure.
Growing businesses need more than antivirus and hope. You get monitoring, detection, response, compliance, backup, and support from one team.
Managed cybersecurity combines proactive threat monitoring, security audits, endpoint protection, identity management, and disaster recovery planning to help businesses reduce exposure and disruption.
Remote monitoring watches IT infrastructure for threats and operational problems while human support remains available to investigate issues, troubleshoot systems, and help reduce downtime.
Managed detection and response helps identify suspicious activity and coordinate appropriate action across business systems, employee environments, and connected data.
SIEM capabilities help organize and review security information from business systems, supporting clearer visibility into events, risks, and potential incidents.
Compliance management supports risk assessments, policy development, gap analysis, control implementation, staff training, and ongoing readiness for HIPAA, SOC, ISO, and other requirements.
Backup and disaster recovery services protect servers, workstations, and cloud data with offsite replication, ransomware-resistant versioning, test restores, and recovery planning.
Alerts get investigated and resolved, not ignored or forwarded back to you. SIEM, endpoint protection, and identity and access management keep the program improving.
These businesses outgrew basic security tools. See how steady monitoring and hands-on support now keep their systems protected.

Founder
Leon Engelking is the Founder of LME Services, having launched the company in 1994 after a career at IBM during the early rise of Microsoft and personal computing.
