Whether you’re a small or large business, a cyber-attack or data breach could be detrimental to the future of your company, and your life. That’s why Resilience+ is recommended for all businesses.
But since it may be out of reach for some, the Resilience package can provide your business with a basic level of protection at an affordable price.

The cyber threat landscape is an evolving space, so much so that cyber security is now considered its very own industry – Managed Security Services. Whilst most Managed IT Services packages provide protection such as anti-virus software, anti-spam software, patch management, and firewall management, these technologies are no longer considered sufficient to adequately protect customers from cybercrime.
A Managed IT agreement is still considered an essential service for business. Managed IT providers are trusted partners who provide business essential services such as IT consulting, IT strategy, helpdesk services, network management, asset lifecycle management, network documentation, and more.
The Essential Eight was first published in 2017 and is a series of baseline mitigation strategies taken from a more comprehensive Australian Government publication called “Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents”. Implementing these strategies as a minimum makes it much harder for adversaries to compromise systems and these recommendations should be adopted by all Australian businesses to form a good foundation for cyber security.
A Security Operations Centre is a central location where an information security team monitors, detects, analyses, and responds to cybersecurity incidents. The SOC team, which consists of both security analysts and engineers, oversees all activity on servers, databases, networks, applications, endpoint devices, websites, and other systems to pinpoint potential security threats and thwart them as quickly as possible. A SOC also monitors threat lists that may affect the organisation’s security posture.
Extended Detection & Response or “XDR” is a reasonably new approach to threat detection and response that provides comprehensive protection against cyberattacks, unauthorised access and misuse. XDR delivers visibility across all data, including endpoint, network, and cloud data, while applying analytics and automation to detect anomalies and prevent cyber-attack.
Whilst adopting security controls listed in the Essential 8 can prevent up to 85% of cyber-attacks, no reasonable controls or technology can provide 100% protection. Cyber security controls must strike balance between safety and network usability We must also consider the human factor, placing great emphasis on regular cyber awareness training and education.
Whilst every business is at risk of cybercrime, the cyber risk profile of industries such as government, healthcare, and financial services for example, are much higher. Your business is unique, as are your cybersecurity needs, so why not get in touch to discuss the right fit for your business needs.
Cyber Insurance should be considered your last resort. Whilst good insurance is an important part of a comprehensive cyber security strategy, but stronger emphasis should be placed on preventing, detecting, remediating, and recovering from a cyber incident.
There are several factors that are used to determine cyber assessment fees, these include the size of our client, the complexity of their network, the expected condition of their network, the number of resources involved in the assessment and report production, and the time involved.
