Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity refers to the methods and tools used to protect networks, systems, and data from cyber threats like hackers, malware, and data breaches. It’s about making sure your business stays safe online, preventing unauthorized access, and protecting sensitive information that end up costing your business money, and damage your reputability with your clients.

Why do I need cybersecurity for my business?

Every business is a target, no matter the size. Cyber attacks can lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and legal consequences. Cybersecurity helps prevent these by identifying vulnerabilities in your systems and creating protective barriers to keep your business safe. Also MA does require compliance for both WISP and PCI and you can be fined if you don’t have these compliance plans in place.

I’m a small business. Do I really need cybersecurity?

Absolutely. Small businesses are often seen as easy targets because they might have weaker security. A cyber attack can be devastating for a small company, resulting in costly downtime or loss of sensitive data. Investing in cybersecurity now can save you from major disruptions down the line.

What are some common cybersecurity threats I should be aware of?

Some of the most common threats include phishing emails (where attackers try to trick you into giving up sensitive information), ransomware (which locks you out of your data unless you pay a ransom), and malware (software that can damage or take control of your systems).

How does cybersecurity benefit my business in the long run?

By investing in cybersecurity, you’re not only protecting your data and systems, but also building trust with your clients. They want to know their information is safe. Plus, with proper security, you reduce the risk of costly disruptions, legal issues, and data breaches.

What’s the difference between cybersecurity and IT support?

IT support helps keep your systems running smoothly—fixing hardware or software issues. Cybersecurity, on the other hand, is focused on protecting your systems and data from outside threats. It’s proactive, while IT support is typically reactive. We offer full spectrum IT and cyber support so we are able to help protect your business at all stages.

Is cybersecurity expensive?

Not necessarily! It’s more affordable than many people think, especially compared to the cost of recovering from a cyber attack. At Penetra Cybersecurity, we offer scalable solutions, so you only pay for what you need to protect your business. The hope with cybersecurity, and really any insurance plan, is that you won’t need it, but if you do have an attack it ends up ensuring that you don’t lose money or business.

How do I know if my business is at risk?

Most businesses are at risk, especially if they handle sensitive information or don’t have strong security measures in place. We offer a free cybersecurity assessment for potential vulnerabilities and give you a clear picture of your current risks.
