Around-the-clock analyst watch
Security analysts watch computers, servers, accounts and network activity day and night.
24/7 monitoring
FunctionOne 24/7 security monitoring and response
FunctionOne 24/7 security monitoring and response covers computers, servers, accounts and network activity, with security analysts on watch day and night. Overnight, analysts investigate related alerts as a single incident and can disable an account or isolate a computer within response rules your company approves. Your named contacts then get the findings, evidence, actions taken and next steps, and your leadership makes the business and risk decisions.
Book a security assessment
We'll review your systems and accounts, then agree scope and response rules with you before anything is switched on.
We use your details only to arrange your assessment.
What FunctionOne 24/7 security monitoring includes
FunctionOne analysts watch your connected systems around the clock and act only within response rules you approve.
Connected logs and alerts
We bring logs and alerts together. Activity on an account, a computer and the network is then investigated as one incident.
Behavior analytics
Behavior analytics learn the typical activity on your accounts and systems. Analysts confirm those findings and act within approved rules.
Threat intelligence
Threat intelligence adds context about malicious addresses, domains and attack methods.
Containment within approved rules
Analysts can isolate a computer, stop a malicious process, require a password reset or disable an account. They act only within the authority your company approves.
Escalation to named contacts
Your named contacts get the findings, evidence, actions taken and next steps. Leadership makes the business and risk decisions.
Rules agreed before switch-on
Your service starts with a security assessment. We review your systems and accounts, then agree on scope and response rules before anything is switched on.
Reporting to leadership
Your leadership gets a monthly summary and a regular security review.
Why does FunctionOne keep security monitoring running around the clock?
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, published by NIST in 2024, says detection runs continuously and response and recovery stay ready at all times. Our analysts watch computers, servers, accounts and network activity around the clock. Containment stays within the response rules your company approves.
IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026, published in 2026, found the average time to identify and contain a breach rose to 247 days, the first rise in five years. IBM's 2026 report put that at 183 days to identify and 64 days to contain, across all breaches in the study. FunctionOne analysts investigate account, computer and network activity together as a single incident.
The FBI and CISA, in Ransomware Awareness for Holidays and Weekends (2021), reported an increase in highly impactful ransomware attacks on holidays and weekends. In the same 2021 advisory, the FBI and CISA noted those are times when offices are normally closed and network defenders and IT support are at limited capacity.
How does FunctionOne's 24/7 security monitoring work?
FunctionOne's managed detection and response starts with a review of your systems and ends with briefings your leaders can act on.
Security assessment
Your first step with FunctionOne is a security assessment. We review your systems and accounts before anything is switched on.
Agree scope and rules
Your leaders and FunctionOne agree on the scope and the response rules our analysts follow. Nothing goes live until both are set.
Watch around the clock
Analysts watch computers, servers, accounts and network activity day and night. Behavior analytics learn typical activity, and threat intelligence adds context about malicious addresses, domains and attack methods.
Investigate and contain
Analysts confirm findings and treat related activity on an account, computer and network as a single incident. When your approved rules allow it, they isolate a computer, stop a malicious process, require a password reset or disable an account.
Brief your contacts
Named contacts get the findings, evidence, actions taken and next steps. Your leadership makes the business and risk decisions.

What do leaders ask about FunctionOne's 24/7 monitoring?
What does 24/7 security monitoring cover?
FunctionOne's 24/7 security monitoring covers computers, servers, accounts and network activity around the clock. Analysts bring logs and alerts together, so activity on an account, computer and network gets investigated as a single incident.
What happens overnight when something looks wrong?
FunctionOne's analysts investigate and contain it within the rules you approved. In an illustrative example, a sign-in from another country appears at 2:14 a.m. The account is disabled under approved rules, the IT lead is briefed at 7:30 a.m., and the account is back in use at 9:05 a.m.
Will FunctionOne take action without our approval?
No. FunctionOne's analysts act only within the response rules your organization approves. Those rules can allow them to isolate a computer, stop a malicious process, require a password reset or disable an account. Your leadership keeps the business and risk decisions.
Why does after-hours security monitoring matter?
Quiet hours carry risk. FBI and CISA, in Ransomware Awareness for Holidays and Weekends (2021), saw an increase in highly impactful ransomware attacks on holidays and weekends, when offices are normally closed and IT support is at limited capacity. FunctionOne's security analysts watch connected systems 24/7.
What should continuous security monitoring include?
Continuous monitoring covers networks, personnel activity, hardware, software and outside service providers, according to NIST in The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 (2024). FunctionOne's analysts watch computers, servers, accounts and network activity, and scope is agreed after the security assessment.
Does FunctionOne use AI to find threats?
Yes. FunctionOne uses behavior analytics to learn typical activity and threat intelligence to add context about malicious addresses, domains and attack methods. Analysts confirm findings before acting, and they act only within the response rules your organization approves.
Can FunctionOne work with our in-house IT team?
Yes. FunctionOne offers fully managed IT, or co-managed IT beside your in-house team. In either setup, named contacts get findings, evidence, actions taken and next steps, and leadership gets a monthly summary and a regular security review.
Where is FunctionOne located?
FunctionOne has offices in Syracuse, New York, at 6216 Thompson Road, and in Tampa, Florida, at 401 East Jackson Street. The company has provided managed IT and cybersecurity since 1992, and both offices use the same phone number, 315-437-6714.
