🔥 Too Late to Insure a Burning House
“Can you do cybersecurity… without the ongoing stuff?”
A client once asked us that. It’s like saying: “I want insurance—just when my house is on fire.”
Why Cybersecurity Can’t Be a One-Time Fix
Cybersecurity isn’t a fire extinguisher. It’s a sprinkler system.
Hackers don’t wait for your annual checkup—they look for cracks daily.
Yet many small businesses, law firms, schools, and even healthcare practices still treat cybersecurity as a checkbox:
A one-time antivirus install
A firewall from five years ago
“We’re too small to be a target”
Reality check: 70% of cyber attacks target small businesses. Most never see it coming until it’s too late.
What “Ongoing” Really Means
At Gigabit Systems, ongoing doesn’t mean “endless bills.”
It means:
Real-time monitoring of threats
Patching vulnerabilities as they emerge
Simulated phishing tests to train staff
Backups that actually work when disaster strikes
It’s not overkill. It’s survival.
If you wouldn’t drop your health insurance just because you feel okay this month, why gamble with your business?
Think Like a Hacker
Hackers don’t care if your firm has 5 users or 500.
They just want:
One stolen email login
One unpatched device
One distracted employee
Ongoing cybersecurity isn’t a luxury.
It’s the difference between a near-miss and a headline.
70% of all cyber attacks target small businesses, I can help protect yours.
