Cybersecurity Essentials
Our Cybersecurity Essentials program is tailored specifically for SMBs, offering a comprehensive, flat-fee solution to elevate your cybersecurity maturity and implement essential best practices.
​
// The Problem
SMBs face unique challenges in securing their business from cyber threats, including:
​
-
Limited resources; finances, time, and staffing
-
Lack of in-house expertise
-
Perceived complexity of cybersecurity
-
Balancing security and productivity

Adapting to rapidly evolving cyber threats
​
Despite these hurdles, it is vitally important that all businesses, regardless of size, understand and manage cybersecurity risk.
SMBs are uniquely vulnerable to cyber threat, and often lack the resources of larger organisations to absorb and recover from the devastating impact that a single cyber-attack can have.
Between 2021 and 2022, there was almost a 200% increase in cyber incidents targeting SMBs.
