Cybersecurity
A Security Breach Will Cost You
More Than a Security Program
Small businesses are among the most targeted victims of ransomware and phishing because attackers assume defenses are thin. Cobham Tech deploys and manages layered security controls, endpoint, email, identity, and network, sized for your business, not for a Fortune 500 budget.
Get a Security AssessmentWhat's Included
Layered Protection Across Every Attack Surface
Effective cybersecurity is not a single product, it is a layered strategy covering endpoints, network perimeter, identity, email, and human behavior. We implement and manage all of it.
Endpoint Detection & Response
EDR deployed across every workstation, laptop, and server, detecting and containing threats in real time, not after the damage is done.
Firewall Configuration & Management
Properly configured next-generation firewall with ongoing rule management, intrusion prevention, and traffic monitoring, not a set-it-and-forget-it device.
Multi-Factor Authentication & Identity Policy
MFA enforced across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, VPN, and any remote access point. Compromised passwords alone cannot open your systems.
Email Security & Anti-Phishing
Advanced email filtering, domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and impersonation protection, stopping phishing attempts before they reach your team's inbox.
Security Awareness Training
Ongoing employee training and simulated phishing tests that build real-world security habits, because your people are your most valuable and most vulnerable asset.
Threat Monitoring & Incident Response
Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity across your network and endpoints, with a documented response plan ready before you need it.
What Changes When Your Security Posture Is Right
Attacks Stopped Before They Land
Layered controls block the vast majority of attacks at the perimeter, the endpoint, and the inbox, before your team ever sees them.
Compliance Posture Improves
NIST CSF and CIS Controls v8 aligned security programs address what insurers, regulators, and clients are asking about in 2026, including the HIPAA Security Rule for medical practices, the FTC Safeguards Rule for accounting and financial firms, and PCI-DSS for retailers handling card data.
Human Error Reduced
Trained employees who recognize phishing, use strong passwords, and follow access policies are your most effective security control, and the least expensive.
The Threat Landscape
Small Businesses Are the Most Targeted, and the Least Prepared
Ransomware groups deliberately target businesses under 100 employees. They are profitable, they lack dedicated security staff, and their backups are often untested. An attack that costs a Fortune 500 company a day costs a small business months.
Cobham Tech builds a layered defense, endpoint protection, email filtering, MFA enforcement, firewall policy, and user access controls, so attackers encounter real friction at every entry point.
The stakes are higher in regulated industries. A medical practice with an unencrypted laptop in the field is one lost bag away from a reportable HIPAA breach. A phishing email that fools a front-desk employee can put an entire patient record system at risk of ransomware. We build the same discipline into accounting and financial firms subject to the FTC Safeguards Rule.
How We Work
Security Is Not a Product. It Is a Posture You Maintain.
A firewall installed once and never reviewed is not protection. Policies drift. Software goes unpatched. Exceptions accumulate. Cobham Tech reviews your security posture on a defined schedule and adjusts as your environment changes.
We document every control so you can answer compliance questions without scrambling. No surprises during an audit.
Common Questions About Cybersecurity
Do small businesses really get targeted by hackers?
Yes, and at increasing rates. Attackers specifically target small businesses because they assume defenses are weak. Ransomware groups use automated tools that scan for vulnerabilities without regard for company size. Being small does not make you a less attractive target; it often makes you an easier one.
We already have antivirus, is that enough?
No. Traditional antivirus catches known malware signatures but misses modern threats like fileless attacks, credential theft, and ransomware that bypasses signature databases. Effective protection requires endpoint detection and response (EDR), properly configured email filtering, MFA enforcement, and network perimeter controls working together.
What does a security assessment cover?
We audit your endpoint protection status, MFA coverage across all systems, email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), firewall configuration, patch levels, password policy enforcement, user access controls, and backup integrity. The output is a prioritized list of gaps with remediation steps, not a generic report.
How long does it take to deploy your security stack?
We run this as a defined buildout, typically three to four weeks, whether we're layering controls onto an existing environment or securing a new office or practice from day one. Core controls, EDR, MFA, email filtering, and firewall configuration, go in first, phased to minimize disruption, with each layer tested before the next goes live. Once the buildout is complete, we shift into continuous managed security, ongoing monitoring, patching, and posture reviews, so protection does not lapse the day the project ends.
We run a medical practice. Does your security program cover HIPAA?
Yes. The 2026 HIPAA Security Rule requires multi-factor authentication on every system that touches electronic protected health information and encryption on every device that stores or transmits it, not just servers. A lost or stolen laptop holding unencrypted patient data is a reportable breach even if it is never opened. We deploy MFA, full-disk encryption, and access logging to meet those requirements, and the same controls, EDR, email filtering, and staff training, close the gaps attackers use most against practices: phishing aimed at front-desk staff and ransomware targeting patient record systems. The same layered approach applies to accounting and financial firms under the FTC Safeguards Rule.
What happens if we experience a breach after signing on?
We have a documented incident response plan for every managed client. That means containment, forensics, communication guidance, and recovery, not a phone tree of confused vendors. We also maintain tested backups so ransomware does not become a data-loss event.
