Tech Solutions Now

What Tech Solutions Now does

Tech Solutions Now is a private, founder-owned IT services and cybersecurity firm headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Founded by Ed Vawter in 2008, the company spent its first 15+ years as a traditional IT consulting practice covering phones, servers, backups, and strategic technology planning before executing a full pivot in 2024 to focus exclusively on cybersecurity. The company's flagship offering is EZPZ Cyber, a managed cybersecurity SaaS positioned for U.S. small businesses that lack dedicated IT departments. EZPZ Cyber delivers AI-driven detection across endpoint, email, and cloud applications from a single dashboard, with the company claiming 95% automated threat response, sub-15-minute incident response, and a 15-minute average setup time with no technical expertise required. Pricing starts at $8 per user per month on a month-to-month basis with no contracts. Around EZPZ Cyber, Tech Solutions Now sells a portfolio of add-on modules including Security Awareness Training (bundled free with EZPZ Cyber or sold standalone), VoIP & Telecom, Remote Monitoring, Managed Backup, Strategic Planning, and On-Demand Support, allowing customers to assemble an à la carte or bundled IT stack.

The business operates a dual go-to-market motion: consultative direct sales from its Columbus headquarters with free assessments, supplemented by a self-service online purchase channel at ezpzcyber.com. Its customer base is described as "thousands of businesses" served nationwide in the United States, with named public references including a Columbus-based manufacturing firm and Maguire & Schneider, LLP (legal services). The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed outside funding and remains founder-controlled, with the 2024 cybersecurity pivot and EZPZ Cyber launch serving as the central strategic event in its recent history.

Direct peers

• Huntress: Huntress is a managed detection and response (MDR) platform purpose-built for SMBs and the MSP channel. Directly comparable to EZPZ Cyber because both target small businesses that lack in-house security staff with managed, automated threat detection and response.
• Arctic Wolf: Arctic Wolf provides managed security operations (SIEM/SOC/MDR) for SMB and midmarket customers with 24/7 monitoring and a concierge delivery model. Comparable to Tech Solutions Now on the managed-SOC positioning and SMB customer focus.
• Coro Cybersecurity: Coro offers a unified cybersecurity platform (endpoint, email, cloud, network) packaged specifically for small and midsize businesses. Direct comparable to EZPZ Cyber on the 'one platform, simplified, SMB-priced' positioning.
• Blackpoint Cyber: Blackpoint Cyber provides MDR and endpoint security focused on MSPs and the SMB segment with emphasis on speed of response. Comparable to Tech Solutions Now on SMB/MDR positioning and response-time differentiation.
• Sophos: Sophos offers endpoint, email, and network security with a managed service (Sophos MDR) aimed heavily at SMBs and the MSP channel. Comparable to EZPZ Cyber on SMB-focused endpoint and email security at accessible price points.
• Bitdefender GravityZone: Bitdefender delivers endpoint detection and response and unified security management for SMBs and enterprises. Comparable to Tech Solutions Now on AI-driven endpoint protection priced for smaller organizations.

Broad incumbents

• ConnectWise (with Continuum/Security360): ConnectWise is a broad incumbent platform serving MSPs with RMM, PSA, and security management including MDR. Comparable to Tech Solutions Now because Tech Solutions Now operates in a similar IT-services-and-security model for SMBs, though at much smaller scale and without the partner-channel focus.
• Microsoft Defender for Business: Microsoft Defender for Business bundles endpoint, email, and identity protection into Microsoft 365 Business Premium at very low marginal cost. Direct competitive threat to EZPZ Cyber as the default low-cost option for SMBs already using Microsoft 365.
• CrowdStrike Falcon Go: CrowdStrike offers Falcon Go, a simplified, SMB-priced endpoint security tier. Comparable as a well-funded incumbent now targeting the same SMB cybersecurity niche that Tech Solutions Now/EZPZ Cyber addresses.
• SentinelOne Singularity Vigilance: SentinelOne provides endpoint security plus a managed detection and response service aimed at SMB and midmarket. Comparable to EZPZ Cyber on AI-driven endpoint and managed security, though backed by a much larger organization.
