The tools your business needs, without breaking the bank.
If you're in the market for cyber insurance, you've likely come across a lengthy questionnaire full of technical requirements. Boston Cyber Pros can review your chosen insurer's requirements, as well as recommend, implement, and manage the tools to meet those requirements.
Our framework for protecting your business from attacks is formed by years of experience implementing modern solutions built around several key pillars of cybersecurity.
1
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a framework of policies, processes, and technologies that enable organizations to manage digital identities and control user access to critical corporate information. By assigning users with specific roles and ensuring they have the right level of access to corporate resources and networks, IAM enhances security and user experience, and increases the viability of working remotely.
​
The most important components of IAM for SMBs are:
-
Single sign-on
-
Multi-factor authentication
-
Least privilege access controls
​
2
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
Zero trust is a network security philosophy that states no one inside or outside the network should be trusted unless their identification has been thoroughly checked. Implementing zero trust involves enacting security designed to thoroughly vet users before to granting access to applications and data, such as checking for changes in the devices used or access locations.
​
A properly implemented zero trust network can replace the need to use legacy network security tools, such as hardware-reliant firewalls and VPNs.
3
Email Security
Phishing attacks resulting in stolen credentials and business email compromise remains one of the most common and expensive cyber threats. Attackers leverage the most common method of business communication, email, to trick employees into sending billions in fraudulent payments each year.
​
By complementing Microsoft's and Google's default filters, email security can prevent phishing, malware, and ransomware before they hit the inbox.

Security awareness training
No technology can replace the first and last line of defense: your people.
Security awareness training programs are designed to help employees understand the role they play in combatting information security breaches. Effective training helps employees understand proper cyber hygiene, the security risks associated with their actions, and to identify cyber attacks they may encounter via email and the web.
