Helping your business stay one step ahead of cyber attackers everywhere.
When it comes to cybersecurity in the fast-paced modern era that we’re living in, the situation isn’t just dangerous – it’s dire.
For the 13th consecutive year, the United States led the world in the average cost of a data breach in 2023. A single consolidated incident hit $9.48 million when you consider not only the immediate financial impact but also the long-term costs associated with recovery and the potentially irreparable damage such an event might do to your reputation.
Based on that data, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that 60% of small businesses in particular go out of business within just six months of a cyber attack.
Today, things move too quickly for you to invest in some mythical “one size fits all” approach to cybersecurity. You need a strategic approach that addresses your industry-specific risks and threats. You need people with legitimate expertise who will dedicate themselves to helping you stay one step ahead of those who wish to do you harm.
As part of our co-managed IT support services in Chicago, the team at Genuity is proud to be that partner for many organizations, and if you’d like to find out more contact us today.
Our Approach to Cybersecurity: Breaking Things Down
Again – there is no such thing as a singular approach to cybersecurity that works equally well for all Chicago businesses. Anyone who tells you differently is likely just trying to sell you something – and that “something” isn’t going to be very effective.
At Genuity, we spent a year working with multiple insurance carriers to identify the solutions that can act as a proper framework to cover security needs, meet cyber insurance reviews, and more.
We take the time to learn as much as we can about you, your business, and your industry as possible. All so that we can develop the custom plan of action you need to stay protected.
We’ll also help you bundle these services together, allowing you to save as much as 40% versus provisioning these solutions individually. So not only will you not have to spend time worrying about how financially devastating a successful cyber attack might be, but you can also free up valuable money from your budget to use elsewhere in your organization.
Robust, Affordable Cybersecurity from Genuity
As part of our cybersecurity solutions at Genuity, we pledge to never push something on your Chicago business that you don’t need and we’ll never recommend or make you pay for something you won’t benefit from in some way.
The solutions that we offer include ones like the following:
Kaseya VSA with Software Management
