Archway Computer: The Newest Summit Partner
Archway Computer specializes as an MSP for insurance agencies, working with customers across the United States.
They were founded in 2011 and have had one goal from the very beginning: to help insurance agencies get the most out of their computer hardware and software. Archway delivers unparalleled, secure managed IT Services, strategically designed and supported by a team of proven, experienced IT engineers, and technical staff. At Archway, they understand insurance agencies rely on fast, efficient service and communications at all times.
Their offerings include Managed IT Services, VoIP, and Security and Compliance (including security via DNS through DNSFilter!). Their President, Brad Ruben, hosts “Brad’s Blog” on the Archway Computer site where he shares whatever he wants to write about. Sometimes it’s critical security updates that insurance agencies need to be aware of, tips and commentary on digital trends—but sometimes it’s about the totally non-technical book he’s reading or a response to an article he read on “How to keep your home spotless.”
Insurance is an industry that’s been around for a long time, which means the infrastructure tends to be old. There are holdovers from the ‘60s that still need updating, but the team at Archway Computer are experts with over 10 years of experience building IT and security stacks that fit the needs of independent insurance agencies.
DNSFilter is a fit for their secure DNS needs since it works with varied IT setups and resolves DNS requests without latency.
The Archway Computer Approach to DNSFilter
At Archway, they don’t see DNS threat protection as an add-on for their clients. It’s integral to their security stack. That means every single IT customer is opted into DNSFilter from the beginning. Archway Computer has a template they send customers explaining the benefits of DNS security where they do give their customers the option to opt out—but the majority do not, because once they read the benefits they immediately see the value.
Insurance is a critical industry that needs protection, as noted by Archway Computer’s Product Procurement Specialist, Walter Harry: With insurance, a breach of sensitive data is a really, really big deal. These can be existential events to an agency.”

Smarter DNS Policies: What You Should Be Blocking (But Probably Aren’t)
DNS filtering is a foundational layer of defense and helps to fortify the strongest security stacks. Most organizations use DNSFilter to block the obvious: malware, phishing, and adult content. That’s a great start, but many are missing out on the broader potential of DNS policies.
Educating Your Clients on the Sophistication of Phishing Attacks
Imagine losing $31,583 every minute. That’s how much cybercrime cost American businesses in 2024, according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. Phishing was one of the top threats behind that number. If you're still thinking phishing is just about misspelled emails from a Nigerian prince, you're dangerously underestimating today’s threat.
IAM Userless: Streamline AWS Access & Reduce the Attack Surface
Security and scalability are paramount in modern cloud architectures. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Identity and Access Management is a critical tool that helps you manage users, permissions, and access control across AWS services. While Identity and Access Management (IAM) users have traditionally been the go-to approach for granting access to resources, there are significant advantages to moving to IAM roles.
