Cybersecurity Help That Actually Ships

I'm Dylan — the engineer behind CosmicBytez Labs. If the howtos here have been useful, I do the same work as paid engagements for SMBs and MSPs that need senior-level cybersecurity and IT expertise without a full-time hire.

Start a ConversationSee My Work

What I Help With

SentinelOne & EDR Deployment

End-to-end rollout of SentinelOne Singularity, including agent deployment, policy tuning, STAR custom rules, and Deep Visibility hunt workflows. Based on 30+ published howtos.

  • Pilot → production rollouts
  • Policy + exclusion tuning
  • STAR custom rule authoring
  • Threat hunt playbooks

Security Audits & Hardening

Hands-on review of your endpoint, identity, and network posture. Practical, prioritized findings — not a 400-page PDF.

  • Microsoft 365 / Entra hardening
  • Fortinet & firewall review
  • Backup + DR validation
  • Patch + vulnerability hygiene

Advisory & Training

Office hours for your IT team, or a structured training engagement on EDR/SIEM operations. Useful if you have the tools but not the muscle memory.

  • Monthly advisory retainer
  • Workshop-style training
  • On-call escalation channel
  • Architecture review sessions

Engagement Models

Pick the cadence that matches the work. All tiers start with a free 30-minute scoping call so we can confirm fit before any commitment.
