You Know What’s Wrong.
You Just Don’t Have Time to Fix It All.
Fortify patches, hardens, and locks down your machines automatically — so the gaps close themselves while you focus on what you actually do for a living.
Every day you wait, the window gets wider
The average company has 67 applications per computer. Most are out of date.
You know the feeling. You run a scan, see the list of outdated apps, and think “I’ll get to that this weekend.” But the weekend comes and there’s payroll, a client emergency, a kid’s soccer game. The list gets longer. The guilt grows.
Meanwhile, the attackers aren’t waiting. The moment a vulnerability is published, automated tools start scanning for every unpatched machine on the internet. Within 24 hours, a known exploit becomes a race — and most small businesses don’t even know they’re in it.
What if the gaps just closed themselves?
Fortify handles patching, hardening, and training — everything you know you should be doing but can’t find the hours for. Your machines stay current. Your team gets smarter. You stop carrying the weight.
Automatic patching
Not just Windows — every app on every machine, checked and updated automatically. When a critical vulnerability drops, the patch deploys before you even read the headline.
Hardening & lockdown
Default settings leave doors open that should be shut. We lock down configurations across your machines — firewalls, encryption, remote access, startup items — and keep them that way.
Phishing training
The best patch is a team that knows what to look for. Fortify includes phishing-simulation training so your people learn from realistic scenarios — not a boring slideshow.
The Guide
You shouldn’t have to choose between running your business and keeping it safe.
We’ve worked with businesses like yours for decades. We know the list of things you should be doing is longer than the hours you have. We know you feel guilty about the updates you haven’t gotten to, the training you haven’t scheduled, the settings you haven’t checked. That guilt means you care — and it means Fortify was built for you.
Craig Peterson’s team manages patching, hardening, and training across hundreds of machines. In 30 years, not one of his managed clients has been hit by ransomware. Fortify brings that same discipline to your machines — automatically.
Three steps. Then it just works.
After setup, you don’t touch it again.
Connect your machines
A lightweight agent installs in minutes. It inventories every app, checks every setting, and reports back — no reboot, no disruption.
We patch & harden
Updates deploy automatically. Configurations lock down. Your team gets enrolled in phishing training. You see it all on your dashboard — but you don't have to act on any of it.
Focus on your business
Your machines stay current. Your settings stay locked. Your team gets sharper. The guilt is gone — because the work is actually getting done.
“Can’t I just set up auto-updates myself?”
You can turn on Windows Update. But that only covers Microsoft products. What about Chrome, Firefox, Zoom, Adobe, Java, Python, 7-Zip, your VPN client, your accounting software? Each one has its own update mechanism — some auto-update, some don’t, some silently fail, and most require you to close the app first.
Fortify manages all of it. Every app. Every machine. Checked against real-time vulnerability data so critical patches deploy within hours, not weeks. And patching is only half the job — we also harden configurations, enforce encryption, lock down remote access, and train your team to spot the attacks that get past everything else.
Setting up auto-updates is like changing your own oil. It works until the engine needs something you didn’t know to check. Fortify is the mechanic who checks everything, every time.
