    Background

    The challenge

    O.F. Mossberg & Sons is a Connecticut-based firearms manufacturer with a history stretching back to 1919, making it one of the oldest family-owned firearms makers in America. The company operates under strict federal compliance and regulatory guidelines, and any security incident carries outsized stakes for both operations and reputation.

    Despite their stature and longevity, Mossberg’s IT environment had grown organically over decades, creating gaps in their security posture that were difficult to see from the inside. Leadership recognized that their existing approach to cybersecurity was reactive rather than strategic, and that the threat landscape had outpaced their current capabilities.

    They needed an experienced security partner who could implement round-the-clock monitoring, strengthen their security systems, and stay with them to operate an ongoing security program.

    “From a business standpoint, any security breach would impact one of our departments, which basically shuts us down from manufacturing for our customers. Not only would that affect our bottom line, it would put a mark against the Mossberg brand.”Wes Beighley, Chief Information Officer, O.F. Mossberg & Sons

    Versetal established a Security Operations Center (SOC) and Network Operations Center (NOC) for Mossberg, providing round-the-clock monitoring and proactive security alerts. The coverage lets Mossberg recover quickly from incidents and minimize operational disruption — issues that once took longer to resolve can now be addressed in minutes.

    Beyond security, Versetal supports a suite of managed applications for Mossberg — including D365, SharePoint, .NET, and Magento/Web — along with project management support, helping streamline internal processes and keep the business agile as needs change.

    Security Awareness Training

    Versetal delivered end-user security training across Mossberg’s workforce, reaching 100% program adoption and a 96% compliance score. The training has helped employees recognize and report threats quickly, extending Mossberg’s security posture beyond the SOC.
