We offer network and device level cybersecurity solutions that defend against ransomware, phishing threats, malware, viruses, botnets and common DDoS attacks. ### How do small business cybersecurity solutions work? Our cybersecurity solutions work by blocking threats before they reach your network, data and business devices even when employees are working remotely.

In the event of a cyber-attack, backed up files can be scanned for viruses prior to restoration to ensure a quick and clean recovery with minimal downtime. ### Why do small businesses need cybersecurity? Businesses of all sizes are cyberattack targets. However, small businesses are more vulnerable as they are less likely to have sufficient cybersecurity tools.

It’s essential to protect your business, employees and customers with multi-pronged cyberdefense. ### What is Internet Threat Blocker?
