‘Our IT is secure enough, though.’ Until things go wrong…

 

Many SMBs think their IT is well secured. And usually it is … until suddenly it isn’t. Because cybercriminals are precisely targeting smaller companies these days.

Why? Because there, the door is often still ajar.

Recognizable?

You arranged your IT quite nicely:

  • Everyone has a password

  • The antivirus is just running

  • And you back up from time to time

But in the meantime, the risks have changed. Hackers aren’t just looking for big fish. SMEs, in particular, are attractive:

  • Prompt payment in case of ransomware

  • Fewer security layers

  • Little awareness among employees

👉 And then suddenly “safe enough” is not enough.

 

What can you do?

At ALTA-ICT, we see this happening every day. That’s why we help SMBs proactively close their digital front door – without complicated hassles.

Including:
✅ Endpoint security (think laptops, phones, workstations)
✅ Multiple authentication (extra login step)
✅ Backup & recovery (for when things do go wrong)
✅ Microsoft 365 hardening (making your digital work environment stronger)
✅ Security measures that prevent downtime and reputation damage

 

Security is not a one-time project

It’s a way of thinking. A mindset.
Are you prepared for what may come? Or don’t know where to start?
