Purchase security tools, hardware, and software through our product resale services. Get the right security products — the ones that actually work, integrate properly, and protect your business.
If you're here because you want the right security products — the ones that actually work, integrate properly, and protect your business — you're in the right place.
Pasadena businesses contact Alcala Consulting when they've bought security tools but don't know if they're configured, they have multiple vendors offering overlapping products, they're unsure what each tool actually does, the tools say "secure" but the business still feels exposed, they want guidance choosing the right firewalls EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) MFA tools backup appliances and cybersecurity software, they need one trusted partner — not a dozen, or they want tools that fit into a unified coherent security strategy.
Buying security tools is easy.
Making them actually protect your business is the hard part.
Here's a real-world story from a Pasadena business that learned this lesson the hard way.
A Pasadena design and manufacturing firm called us after a year of constant frustration.
The CEO believed they were secure. After all, they were paying thousands every month for tools: two different antivirus products, a firewall they bought online, a VPN they barely used, a cloud backup service, a standalone spam filter, a dark-web monitoring tool, a vulnerability scanner, an email encryption add-on, a "secure browser extension" they didn't understand, a password manager no one used correctly, a cloud file protection product, and a threat intelligence subscription they didn't know how to read.
Twelve tools. Twelve vendors. Twelve monthly charges.
And yet the CEO still felt vulnerable.
Why?
Because none of the tools were integrated, none were configured properly, no one knew what each tool was supposed to do, several tools overlapped, some tools contradicted each other, some tools were installed on only half the computers, some tools had expired, some tools didn't work on Macs, and some tools weren't monitored.
Worst of all: Their previous IT provider installed everything without a plan.
It was a "security buffet" of mismatched tools. No strategy. No design. No architecture.
One afternoon, a ransomware email slipped past all twelve tools and landed in an inbox.
Fortunately, an employee recognized it and didn't click.
It was a close call. Too close.
The CEO asked the internal IT provider: "Are we actually secure?"
The provider hesitated. Then said: "Well, you have a lot of layers, so theoretically…"
The CEO didn't even wait for him to finish.
He called Alcala Consulting that same day.
When we arrived on-site and reviewed their environment, the truth became clear.
The business wasn't secure. It wasn't even close.
They had 12 security tools — but no security strategy.
Here's what we discovered during our audit: tools overlapping each other — two antivirus products were installed simultaneously and they weren't cooperating they were fighting causing CPU spikes slow performance missed threats and update failures, expired software still showing as "installed" — three tools had expired months earlier and employees saw them on their desktops and assumed they were still working but they weren't, missing licenses — only half the devices had email encryption password manager enrollment endpoint protection cloud backup agents and threat monitoring so the CEO was paying full price but getting half the protection, a firewall that was never configured — the firewall was brand-new but no one had enabled IPS blocked unused ports turned on gateway antivirus set up application control restricted outbound traffic implemented geo-blocking updated firmware and worst of all it still had the default password, a VPN left in "Legacy Mode" — the VPN used weak encryption no MFA and outdated clients so it was more dangerous than helpful, a password manager used incorrectly — half the staff used it the other half refused and even those who used it stored passwords in plain text "notes" shared folders and unencrypted entries, no monitoring — eleven of the twelve tools produced logs but zero of the logs were monitored so all the "protection" was passive, tools that needed expertise the business didn't have — the vulnerability scanner was powerful but no one understood the reports so nothing ever got fixed, and a cloud backup that didn't back up the most important data — the default settings skipped engineering CAD files financial spreadsheets and production schedules so the files the business relied on most were never backed up.
This was not protection. This was illusion.
When we presented the findings, the CEO sat back in his chair and said: "I thought we were secure because we were paying for all this stuff."
He wasn't wrong.
He was misled.
Buying tools does not create security. Implementing the right tools the right way does.
He looked up and said: "I need one partner. I need one strategy. I need real protection — not noise."
That's exactly where we stepped in.
Most businesses think security works like this: buy tools, install tools, done.
But in reality security tools require configuration, integration, tuning, monitoring, policy creation, updating, governance, review, and life-cycle management.
Without this, tools become expensive, confusing, redundant, ineffective, and dangerous.
The real risk isn't having no tools.
It's having tools that pretend to protect you.
The SMB cybersecurity industry is full of misleading marketing, overlapping products, one-size-fits-all "solutions," tools designed for enterprises not SMBs, tools sold without proper configuration, and sales reps pushing features not outcomes.
Businesses need guidance — not a shopping cart.
Alcala Consulting helps Pasadena businesses separate what they need, what they don't need, what protects them, and what wastes money.
We don't sell tools for the sake of selling tools.
We sell security strategy, security integration, security stability, security governance, and security expertise.
And only the tools that support the strategy.
We help you build the right stack — not the biggest one.

It includes security tools with EDR, XDR, MDR, email filtering, anti-phishing software, zero-trust gateways, MFA hardware tokens, and password management solutions, security hardware with firewalls, switches, access points, VPN appliances, backup appliances, and secure storage, cloud security software with Microsoft 365 security tools, Azure and AWS hardening technologies, cloud backup, CASB (cloud access security brokers), and identity protection tools, implementation and integration with configuration, policy creation, role-based access, monitoring, alerts, patch standards, and zero-trust enablement, licensing and support with proper license selection, vendor relationships, renewals, and compliance alignment. Think of it like having an expert help you get the right security products — the ones that actually work, integrate properly, and protect your business. Instead of redundant tools, missing protections, unmonitored endpoints, misconfigured firewalls, weak VPNs, outdated firmware, gaps attackers can slip through, confusion, waste, and false confidence, you get you know what each tool does, you understand how everything fits together, you stop paying for redundant tools, you eliminate wasted licenses, your firewall is configured correctly, your VPN is secure, your endpoint protection actually works, all tools are integrated, all logs are monitored, security becomes a system — not chaos, and you move from confusion to clarity, from noise to protection, from risk to confidence. For Pasadena businesses with security needs, Product Resale gives you the right tools needed to protect your business — not just buy tools, but implement them the right way.
You probably need Product Resale if you've bought security tools but don't know if they're configured, you have multiple vendors offering overlapping products, you're unsure what each tool actually does, the tools say "secure" but the business still feels exposed, you want guidance choosing the right firewalls EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) MFA tools backup appliances and cybersecurity software, you need one trusted partner — not a dozen, or you want tools that fit into a unified coherent security strategy. Many Pasadena businesses don't realize they need Product Resale until they face tool overload. A Pasadena design and manufacturing firm called us after a year of constant frustration.

Businesses without strategic product selection deal with redundant tools, missing protections, unmonitored endpoints, misconfigured firewalls, weak VPNs, outdated firmware, gaps attackers can slip through, confusion, waste, and false confidence. Worst of all: They think they're secure — until they're not. Most businesses think security works like this: buy tools, install tools, done. But in reality security tools require configuration, integration, tuning, monitoring, policy creation, updating, governance, review, and life-cycle management. Without this, tools become expensive, confusing, redundant, ineffective, and dangerous. The real risk isn't having no tools. It's having tools that pretend to protect you.

Buying security tools is easy. Making them actually protect your business is the hard part.
Product Resale prevents problems through strategic product selection and proper implementation: we learn your environment goals risks and compliance needs to understand what you need, we design your security architecture to create a real architecture not just a list of products, we provide the right tools for your strategy including firewalls endpoint protection email security backup appliances network monitoring zero-trust tools VPN solutions hardware tokens security cameras (if applicable) secure Wi-Fi systems and more, we configure everything to ensure tools work properly, we create policies to ensure proper use, we set up role-based access to control access, we monitor tools to detect threats, we set up alerts to notify on threats, we establish patch standards to keep tools updated, we enable zero-trust to improve security, we select proper licenses to ensure coverage, we manage vendor relationships to ensure support, we handle renewals to ensure continuity, we align with compliance to meet requirements, we integrate tools to work together, we eliminate redundant tools to reduce waste, we remove wasted licenses to save money, we configure firewalls correctly to block threats, we secure VPNs to protect remote access, we ensure endpoint protection works to protect devices, we integrate all tools to work together, we monitor all logs to detect threats, and we create a security system to replace chaos. Instead of reacting to security incidents after attackers have exploited vulnerabilities, we prevent them before attackers find them. This proactive approach means you avoid redundant tools, missing protections, unmonitored endpoints, misconfigured firewalls, weak VPNs, outdated firmware, gaps attackers can slip through, confusion, waste, and false confidence. Many Pasadena businesses find that Product Resale transforms how they handle security. Instead of buying tools without a plan, you get a real architecture. Instead of tools that don't work together, you get integrated tools. Instead of confusion, you get clarity. We don't sell tools. We build security.
Our Product Resale services include: security tools with EDR, XDR, MDR, email filtering, anti-phishing software, zero-trust gateways, MFA hardware tokens, and password management solutions, security hardware with firewalls, switches, access points, VPN appliances, backup appliances, and secure storage, cloud security software with Microsoft 365 security tools, Azure and AWS hardening technologies, cloud backup, CASB (cloud access security brokers), and identity protection tools, implementation and integration with configuration, policy creation, role-based access, monitoring, alerts, patch standards, and zero-trust enablement, licensing and support with proper license selection, vendor relationships, renewals, and compliance alignment.

Product Resale is fundamentally different from just buying security tools. Just buying security tools means purchasing products without a plan. Product Resale means getting the right security products — the ones that actually work, integrate properly, and protect your business — with proper configuration, integration, tuning, monitoring, policy creation, updating, governance, review, and life-cycle management. Product Resale goes far beyond just buying security tools. It includes learning your environment goals risks and compliance needs to understand what you need, designing your security architecture to create a real architecture not just a list of products, providing the right tools for your strategy including firewalls endpoint protection email security backup appliances network monitoring zero-trust tools VPN solutions hardware tokens security cameras (if applicable) secure Wi-Fi systems and more, configuring everything to ensure tools work properly, creating policies to ensure proper use, setting up role-based access to control access, monitoring tools to detect threats, setting up alerts to notify on threats, establishing patch standards to keep tools updated, enabling zero-trust to improve security, selecting proper licenses to ensure coverage, managing vendor relationships to ensure support, handling renewals to ensure continuity, aligning with compliance to meet requirements, integrating tools to work together, eliminating redundant tools to reduce waste, removing wasted licenses to save money, configuring firewalls correctly to block threats, securing VPNs to protect remote access, ensuring endpoint protection works to protect devices, integrating all tools to work together, monitoring all logs to detect threats, and creating a security system to replace chaos. A Pasadena design and manufacturing firm learned this the hard way. They had 12 security tools — but no security strategy. They had tools overlapping each other, expired software still showing as "installed," missing licenses, a firewall that was never configured, a VPN left in "Legacy Mode," a password manager used incorrectly, no monitoring, tools that needed expertise the business didn't have, and a cloud backup that didn't back up the most important data. Just buying security tools wouldn't have prevented this. Product Resale would have. Buying tools does not create security. Implementing the right tools the right way does.
Three things set our Product Resale apart: First, we don't sell tools for the sake of selling tools — we sell security strategy, security integration, security stability, security governance, and security expertise, and only the tools that support the strategy. Second, we don't just sell tools — we design your security architecture, configure everything, integrate tools, monitor logs, and maintain tools. Third, we communicate in plain English — you'll understand what's happening and what we're doing. Many Product Resale providers focus on selling tools but don't help with strategic product selection or proper implementation. We provide comprehensive Product Resale that covers everything from security architecture design to ongoing maintenance. We also understand that security tools can be overwhelming for business owners. We make Product Resale practical and manageable instead of confusing and stressful. For Pasadena businesses with security needs, this practical, comprehensive approach makes all the difference. We help businesses stop guessing and start protecting. We have 27 years securing SMB environments. We have deep experience across hardware and software. We have local engineers who respond quickly. We have a track record of rescuing clients from "tool overload." We have 17 five-star Google reviews, a 4.3-star Facebook rating, and four five-star Yelp reviews. We help you build the right stack — not the biggest one.
Getting started is simple. First, book a 15-minute discovery call where we'll learn your environment, goals, risks, and compliance needs. We'll ask questions like: What security tools do you currently have? What are your security goals? What compliance requirements do you have? Based on that conversation, we'll design your security architecture — not a list of products, a real architecture. We'll explain what we'll provide, how it will help, and what it will cost. Once you approve, we'll provide the right tools for your strategy — firewalls, endpoint protection, email security, backup appliances, network monitoring, zero-trust tools, VPN solutions, hardware tokens, security cameras (if applicable), secure Wi-Fi systems, and more. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks for initial implementation, and then we configure and implement everything, monitor and maintain tools, and provide ongoing support. There's no commitment required for the initial consultation — it's just a chance to see if Product Resale makes sense for your Pasadena business. If you have tools you don't understand — or you're not sure whether you're secure — it's time to get clarity. Book your 15-minute discovery call today. We'll evaluate your current tools, eliminate the noise, and build a stack that actually protects your business.
