Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does my Perth small business actually need managed cybersecurity?
Yes. Small businesses are frequently targeted precisely because they tend to have weaker defences. Cloud Connect WA offers managed cybersecurity for Perth businesses of all sizes, covering DNS filtering, endpoint protection, user awareness training, and environment hardening on a month-to-month basis. Cloud Connect WA also holds ACSC Essential 8 Level 3 self-certification, the highest standard set by the Australian Cyber Security Centre.
-
How does Cloud Connect protect my business from ransomware?
Cloud Connect recommends and deploys Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to protect Perth businesses from ransomware. It filters malicious emails, blocks dangerous attachments, and stops phishing attempts before they reach your team, addressing one of the most common entry points for ransomware attacks.
-
What is the difference between a cybersecurity audit and managed cybersecurity?
A cybersecurity audit is a one-time assessment covering password management, email security, patching, antivirus, and network vulnerabilities, with a report and recommendations at the end. Managed cybersecurity is ongoing, with Cloud Connect maintaining your defences and applying updates month to month. An audit is a practical first step for businesses that want to understand their current risk level.
-
How long does a cybersecurity audit take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your environment. Cloud Connect’s audit covers nine areas including password management, application review, email security, dark web checks, patching, antivirus, and firewall vulnerability testing, and concludes with a comprehensive report. Contact the team for an accurate timeframe based on your setup.
-
Do I need cybersecurity if I already have antivirus?
Antivirus is only one layer of protection. Modern cybersecurity requires multiple controls including DNS filtering, endpoint protection, patch management, multi-factor authentication, user awareness training and ongoing monitoring.
A layered approach significantly reduces the likelihood and impact of cyber incidents.
