What's Included With Cybersecurity
If You Think You’ve Been Hacked
Warning signs include ransom notes, files that won’t open, unexpected password reset emails, clients receiving strange emails from your account or a bank asking about a payment you didn’t send. If you see them:
- Disconnect affected computers from the network or Wi-Fi. Don’t turn them off.
- Don’t respond to attackers or pay anything.
- Call us at 561-425-6100, or your IT provider.
- Notify your cyber insurer if you have coverage. Many require prompt notice.
- Write down what you noticed and when.
How We Respond
- Contain the threat and stop it spreading
- Secure compromised accounts and reset access
- Investigate how it happened
- Restore systems and data from backups where possible
- Coordinate with the incident response resources your insurer provides, where applicable
Lost Trust in Your Current IT Provider?
Many businesses come to us right after a breach, when they no longer trust the provider that was supposed to protect them. Once you engage us, we work to secure your accounts and systems, plan an organized transition from your previous provider, including passwords and documentation, and put proper protection in place going forward. Responsibility for a past incident, and any insurance claim related to it, stays with the parties and policies involved at the time, so we recommend working with your insurer and legal advisors on those questions.
Then, Make It Harder Next Time
Most incidents we see started with phishing, a stolen password without multi-factor authentication or an unpatched system. Our layered protection, 24/7 SOC monitoring and training close those doors. See all security services.
The Technical Side
Incident response steps we follow: isolate affected endpoints through EDR, revoke active sessions and reset credentials in Microsoft 365 or your identity provider, review sign-in and audit logs, check for malicious mailbox rules and new admin accounts, preserve logs and evidence for your insurer, restore from clean backups, and harden with conditional access, admin separation and SOC monitoring.

Cybersecurity in West Palm Beach: Common Questions
What should we do if we think we've been hacked?
Disconnect affected computers from the network without turning them off, avoid paying any ransom or responding to the attacker, call your IT or security provider and notify your cyber insurance carrier if you have one.
Can you help if we are not a current client?
Yes. Call 561-425-6100. We will help assess the situation and the next steps.
Should we pay a ransom?
Talk to your insurer and security team before making any decision. Paying does not guarantee recovery and may have legal implications. Good backups are the best leverage.
Can we switch IT providers after a breach?
Yes. Many clients come to us after an incident with their previous provider. Once onboarded, we work to secure your environment and plan an organized transition from your previous provider.
How do we prevent it from happening again?
After containment and recovery, we identify how the attacker got in and close those gaps with layered protection, monitoring and training.
What cybersecurity does a small business need?
At a minimum: multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response with 24/7 monitoring, email security, regular patching, tested backups and security awareness training for staff.
How much does cybersecurity cost for a small business?
Core cybersecurity is included in our managed IT plans, priced per user per month. Add-ons like penetration testing or advanced compliance work are quoted separately in writing.
