Cyber Plus has introduced a product offering small businesses complete coverage for cyber attacks, from preparation through to response.

Its Small Business Bundle provides risk advisory, cyber-response planning, email and web filtering software, antivirus, firewall, back-up, encryption, user access control and cyber awareness training. It also provides cyber insurance, forensic investigation, legal assistance, public relations, identity monitoring and credit monitoring.

Director Mike Newbigin says small businesses are increasingly targeted by criminals using sophisticated attacks such as denial of service, botnets, worms and spear phishing.

Co-founder Paul Waite says with the global cyber-crime bill projected to double to $US6 trillion ($7.55 trillion) by 2021, small businesses must tackle the issue “head on”.
