CyberSecurity Overview
There was a time when a firewall, basic patch updates, and a good antivirus program on your company computers could keep you safe from cyberthreats.
That time has passed. While those items remain important, the bar has been raised and they no longer cover enough to prevent cyberthreats.
Today’s advanced threats target companies—both large and small—at every strata of their IT environment. Even startups and small businesses are not immune.
In fact, a 2020 Verizon report demonstrated that 28% of companies breached in that year were in the “small business” category.
So, what do you do?
Partner with us. We’ll provide you with a layered cybersecurity strategy that will put you in the best position to ward off cyberattacks.
What is layered cybersecurity?
We help protect your business by setting up concentric rings of defense at different levels of your IT environment to improve the security of your IT assets and data.
· Internet protection
· Network protection
· People protection (employee cybersecurity training)
· Application protection
· Device protection
Don’t wait until you experience an attack to get serious about cybersecurity. We can tailor a cost-effective IT security solution designed to give you strong protection and peace of mind.

Managed Endpoint Detection and Response
The best way to manage today’s security threats
Security used to be so simple for the average business. You installed anti-virus (AV) solutions, trained employees not to click on unknown links, and kept software and websites up to date. For a few low-risk companies, that may still be the case, but the vast majority of small to midsize companies now need to fortify against new, advanced threats that can get around traditional AV.
With the rise of more advanced threat vectors and the use of Work-from-Home technologies businesses are facing greater threats to data and workflow and need a different type of protection to mitigate that risk. “The average total cost of a data breach was more than $1 million higher where remote working was a factor in causing the breach compared to breaches where remote working was not a factor.”

The 2021 “Cost of a Data Breach Report” by IBM and the Ponemon Institute states that: Traditional AV isn’t sufficient protection for your business because AV requires regular database updates of the current virus signatures to be effective. The protection afforded by AV software is only as good as the vendor’s updates. New threats arise daily, and ensuring updates get pushed out in a timely fashion is a best-effort scenario. Often, threats are discovered only after the damage is done. Here are a few examples of some of the risks we’re seeing in the marketplace now:
Weaponized documents that may seem like harmless PDF attachments in your emails but execute attacks once they enter your network. Fileless threats that don’t require downloads, but execute from memory, making them difficult to identify. Zero-day threats that find an unknown computer vulnerability and exploit it before software or hardware providers can issue updates.
Ransomware attacks, which can disable IT networks and lock you out of your data/workflow.
