A cyber security solution for small businesses

Cyber security can feel like something only bigger businesses need to worry about. Until a phishing email gets clicked, a password leaks, or your systems suddenly stop working.

Cyber Protect s our cyber security package for SMEs and small businesses that gives you practical protection and expert support, without the technical headache. You get the tools to reduce risk, the alerts to act early and the guidance to stay calm if something goes wrong.

Cyber Protect can help you make cyber security a priority, without having a dedicated IT team. Our cyber security package gives you everything you need to mitigate threats, no matter how big or small your team, so you can focus on running your business.

Stop risks before they start

Risks come from everyday actions – a clicked link, a weak password, a missed warning. Simple training helps your team make safer choices.

Commonly asked questions

Why do small businesses need cyber security?

As a small business, cyber security might not always be the top priority — until something goes wrong and a cyber breach or attack occurs.

Cyber criminals sometimes target SMEs over larger organisations as they see them as weaker links that are easier to exploit. They may have lower defenses, unpatched systems, and less-tested cyber incident response plans, which makes them an easier target.

Plus, the financial loss can be much more devastating for a small business, making it even more difficult for them to recover and build customer trust. 

What are the most common cyber risks for SMEs?

The cyber threat landscape is always changing, but some of the most common cyber risks for SMEs that we see are: phishing attacks, brute force attacks, denial of service, and supply chain attacks. 

Compromised passwords, poor network security, and a lack of cyber security training for staff are also high risk areas that can lead to cyber breaches.
