White Oak Security

What White Oak Security does

White Oak Security is a US-based cybersecurity firm founded in 2012, operating a sales-led, direct-engagement model focused on SMBs and mid-market businesses nationwide. The company's core offering is a managed IT and managed security portfolio: 24/7/365 Security Operations Center, Managed Detection & Response, SIEM, offensive security testing spanning infrastructure, AI, applications, and devices, plus advisory services including vCISO, virtual CTO services, compliance audits, risk management, and "Next Generation Networking" covering Zero Trust Security, ZTNA, and SASE architectures. The firm also resells and implements hardware and software through named partnerships with Microsoft, Fortinet, Dell, and SentinelOne.

Its business model is multi-stream and recurring-heavy: tiered monthly Managed IT subscriptions (Complete IT, Strategic IT, Essential IT), managed security contracts for SOC, MDR and SIEM, project-based offensive security and professional services engagements, vCISO/advisory professional services, and hardware/software resale through vendor partnerships. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer bases are primarily SMB and mid-market (Forsythe, Hallmark Building Supplies, Made For Retail), with selective enterprise presence (AMPI in agriculture/cooperative). The firm holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification and has earned multiple CRN industry recognitions (CRN 500, Security 100, Fast Growth 150, Tech Elite 26, MSP500, SP500).

White Oak Security has been acquired by Cyber Advisors, a private Minnesota-based Managed IT and Security Services company headquartered in Maple Grove. It now operates as part of Cyber Advisors' security portfolio alongside other acquired brands (KLH, ITP, S&L Computer Services, Total Networx, BAI Security, Infranet Technology Group). As an acquired entity, White Oak Security no longer operates on a standalone basis; the combined Cyber Advisors organization delivers nationwide US coverage through direct enterprise, SMB, and mid-market field sales and a 24/7/365 service desk.
