Our History
SMBs Increasingly Targeted
Nearly three quarters of all cyber attacks globally are now targeting small to medium sized businesses, with 60% of victims going out of business within six months.
Criminals are pivoting to SMBs as they take less effort to attack, impacts are higher and they don’t draw attention from the media or law enforcement.
CyPro Was Born
Enter CyPro – born to address this need in the SMB market.
We enable high-growth companies to rapidly reduce their cyber risk by crafting security capabilities that are perfect for your current size and ready to scale effortlessly in line with your future growth.
Different Approach Needed
Defending against these attacks is uniquely challenging for smaller organisations due to a lack of bandwidth, skills and resources. The existing cyber security market tried to apply enterprise level security to SMBs which results in consultants deliverables becoming ‘shelf ware’ and a lot of wasted client budget.
A different approach to security was required….
Internal discussions?
It supports exploratory conversations with your team and executive around what types of cyber security services can be provided.
Secure. Scale. Succeed.
