experience working with
Are you a small-to-medium business? Did you know that cybersecurity threats are on the rise?
Have you heard about the attacks on Optus, Medibank and ProctorU in recent years? Or perhaps you've even been subject to a phishing scheme, hack or data breach in your personal life?
As a smaller business you might think you are less at risk.
The truth is most businesses are being targeted and don't know how to protect themselves.
Here’s what you need to know…
ORGANISATIONS LIKE YOURS ARE BEING TARGETED EVERY THIRTY NINE SECONDS
This is not such an issue that you can ignore anymore. Some 43% of all cyber attacks are directed at small businesses, and about 60% of affected small businesses close their doors within six months of a cyber attack due to financial and reputational damage.
THE CYBER THREAT LANDSCAPE IS INCREASINGLY COMPLEX FOR SMEs
Merely having one or two security measures in place, such as a VPN or an antivirus at the office, is not sufficient to protect your business in today's complex threat environment.
CYBERSECURITY MEASURES ARE NOW REQUIRED, NOT JUST ENCOURAGED.
Compliance with a cyber security standard (such as Essential Eight (E8)) is now required for government and other tenders and for certain industry sectors such as financial service.
CYBER INSURANCE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH
You won't necessarily be covered by a cyber insurance policy if you don't have protective measures in place. And even if you do get guaranteed coverage, you’ll find that the premiums are very high if you’re not doing anything else to protect your business.
The fact is most SMEs aren’t properly protected, because most business owners or CEOs just don’t understand what needs to be done immediately in order to minimise risk.
By putting measures in place now, and not later, you can avoid the impact of cybersecurity incidents, including:
Bad PR and damaged reputation
Business
downtime
Loss of documents, unrecoverable business data and staff productivity
Significant fines from regulators
High insurance premiums for an ongoing, ever-increasing risk
That’s where we can protect your business...

You must secure these five items for your business to be properly protected...
At PowerbITs, our approach to cybersecurity is both distinctive and effective—we will put together a custom, robust strategy to protect each of these FIVE key threat areas.

Staff training, phishing simulation, Policies, Monitoring, Password Management

NETWORK
Commercial Firewall, network security VPN, updates, security patches

We tailor your package to your budget and required level of protection.
As a larger business or a business in specialist industries such as financial services, each with industry regulators placing pressure on you to take action against threats, perhaps you need to be compliant with the Essential Eight standard, NIST or ISO compliant.
As a smaller business, maybe you simply need a more basic and effective protection. You don’t need to meet a specific standard of compliance, but you do want to feel SAFE, and be confident that you’re lowering your insurance premium and implementing basic, up-to-date protection across all five threat areas.
