From SOC Pain Points to Scalable Protection: The Birth of ContraForce
Founded in 2021 by cybersecurity veterans Stan Golubchik and Ricardo “Ricky” Melendez, ContraForce addresses significant challenges faced by Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in delivering effective cybersecurity. Traditional security solutions are often too complex and costly for smaller providers, making it difficult to sustain a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). ContraForce revolutionizes this by operationalizing Microsoft’s cloud-native security technologies—like Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR—creating a multi-tenant Security Delivery Platform. This innovative approach allows one analyst to manage up to 10× more customers while automating 90% of Level 1 tasks with AI agents. The partnership with Microsoft accelerates growth through the Pegasus Program and strong marketplace presence, enabling MSPs to enhance service capabilities, reduce incident response time to minutes, and improve margins. Ultimately, ContraForce empowers MSPs to deliver enterprise-level protection efficiently, ensuring greater security for businesses in a challenging digital landscape.
