GARDEN GROVE, Calif., April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Aesthetic Society has selected Quest Technology Management, powered by a strategic partnership with Crytica Security, to deliver a Managed Cybersecurity service to its members. The program enables members to select from several options to secure and protect their IT, IoT, and OT environments.

Through this collaboration, Quest will offer bundled Crytica-powered IoT and IT protection within its managed security portfolio. The solution is designed to deliver detection in seconds, containment, and remediation of advanced threats in distributed and resource-constrained environments — precisely where traditional detection tools are weakest.

“Aesthetic practices are increasingly being targeted by sophisticated ransomware attacks, with threats often remaining undetected for more than 100 days—putting patient data and business operations at serious risk. Solutions like Rapid Detection and Alert^™ (RDA) are helping to shift that timeline, enabling faster identification and response to threats. At The Aesthetic Society, our priority is to ensure our members have access to trusted, advanced tools that help protect their practices and the patients they serve,” said Dr. Tracy Pfeifer, President of The Aesthetic Society.

Quest Technology Management, a leading global technology management firm, has entered a strategic partnership with Crytica Security to address the growing threat landscape across Operational Technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and IT environments. As breach speeds accelerate and attack costs climb to unprecedented levels, traditional security tools continue to leave critical blind spots.

The urgency is measurable. Median breakout time has decreased to just 62 minutes, with some attacks achieving lateral movement in under one minute. The average cost of a related data breach now exceeds $4.5 million, while the average dwell time for undetected threats stands at 172 days — an eternity when attackers can move laterally in minutes.

“Together with Crytica, we’re closing the gap, bringing never-before-seen speed to threat detection and response so our customers stay resilient and ahead of what’s next,” said Adam Burke, Vice President of Sales and Partnerships at Quest Technology Management. “The collaboration delivers innovation where it’s most needed, and together, Quest and Crytica are setting a new standard for edge cybersecurity and business continuity.”

The Quest–Crytica partnership represents a significant advancement in securing distributed and resource-constrained environments, giving organizations faster detection, improved resilience, and comprehensive protection across their IoT and OT networks. The Crytica RDA solution fits everywhere, sees everything, and detects and alerts in seconds
