About Pete Rullman
Pete Rullman is the Chief Technology Officer of Uprite Services, a managed IT and cybersecurity provider serving small and mid-sized businesses across Texas. He writes about IT strategy, cybersecurity, innovation, and building secure, scalable technology environments.
His writing tends to start where the marketing stops. Rather than describing what managed IT is, his articles work through the parts buyers actually get stuck on: what the first 72 hours of a ransomware event really decide, how the CMMC 2.0 timeline lands on Texas defense contractors, what it takes to secure operational technology in a plant without stopping the line, and how to read an MSP service level agreement so the response time number means something.
That same approach runs through his cost and vendor work, from calculating the real cost of an hour of downtime to breaking down what a support ticket actually costs in the Dallas market. If you are weighing a provider, comparing models, or trying to get a straight answer on a compliance deadline, his articles are written to be usable rather than reassuring.
