Cybersecurity Services
Managed cybersecurity combines threat detection and response, security audits, SIEM, identity and access management, endpoint protection, and disaster recovery planning.
IT security consulting that helps you stop reacting to threats and start managing risk. A local, family-run team in business since 1994 builds a plan you can follow.
Security added piecemeal by whoever had spare time leaves gaps attackers find first. Our consulting covers assessments, compliance guidance, monitoring, recovery planning, and ongoing support.

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.

Over more than three decades, he guided the company through major technology shifts, including ransomware growth, cloud computing adoption, and the transition to remote work. His vision established LME's family-run culture and its commitment to long-term client relationships throughout Chicagoland.
