Managed IT services and cybersecurity for Chicago-area mid-market firms
Aqueity is a 11–50 person IT services and cybersecurity shop serving Chicago and suburbs, founded in 1996. Their stack centers on Azure, AWS, and Microsoft 365 tooling (Copilot, Power Automate), with ConnectWise for service delivery. Active projects focus on AI automation and SOC/NOC workflow optimization, but pain points around resource utilization, scoping, and incident response delays suggest they're scaling delivery faster than ops can absorb—typical for MSPs growing into managed security.
Notable leadership hires: SOC NOC Lead
Aqueity delivers managed IT services, cybersecurity, and co-managed IT support to businesses across Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Their service menu spans infrastructure support, help-desk, disaster recovery, compliance, and emerging AI automation. The company operates a SOC/NOC environment and supports on-premises and cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP). They staff engineering, sales, and security roles at mid and lead levels, with active hiring, though posting velocity is minimal. The focus on SOC/NOC optimization and reusable automation templates for MSP clients suggests an internal pivot toward security-first service delivery.
