Network Guard: New-Device & Intruder Alerts FAQs

Does this send my network data anywhere?

No. It runs on a computer at your location and only you can open it, so your device list never leaves the building.

What is the most important cybersecurity step for a small business?

Turn on multi-factor sign-in for email and remote access, and keep backups that ransomware cannot reach. Those two steps stop most real-world attacks.

Do you help with cyber insurance applications?

Yes. We put the controls insurers require in place (MFA, endpoint protection, backups, training) and help you answer the questionnaire accurately.
