Managed cyber security for small businesses
We protect your devices, email and accounts, with Huntress security analysts watching for threats 24/7.
Plans from $495/month · 24/7 SOC · Critical issues answered in 30-60 minutes
What cyber threats do small businesses face?
Phishing emails
One click on a fake login page hands over a password.
Invoice and payment fraud
Criminals take over an email account, then change the bank details on real invoices.
Ransomware
Files are locked and a ransom is demanded. Without good backups, work stops.
Stolen passwords
Reused or leaked passwords let attackers log in like a normal user.
None of these need a sophisticated attacker. They just need one gap.
What's included in managed cyber security?
24/7 threat detection and response
Huntress security analysts monitor your computers and servers around the clock. When they spot something suspicious, they investigate and isolate the threat, and we follow up with you.
Endpoint protection
Seqrite blocks viruses, malware and ransomware on every computer and server.
Email security
Phishing and spam are filtered before they reach your inbox, and suspicious sign-ins trigger an alert.
Patch management
We use NinjaOne to apply Windows and software updates on schedule, closing the gaps attackers look for.
Security reporting
A regular report showing what's been blocked, what's been fixed and what we recommend next.
Security awareness training
Included in our Growing Business and Business Plus plans. It helps your team spot phishing before they click.
What is a SOC, and why does it matter?
A SOC (security operations centre) is a team of security analysts who watch for cyber attacks around the clock. Most small businesses could never afford their own.
Through Huntress, your business gets that protection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Attacks often happen at night or on weekends, when nobody's watching. With a SOC, someone always is.
What happens when a threat is detected?
1. Detect
Huntress picks up suspicious activity on one of your devices.
2. Contain
Security analysts investigate and isolate the threat, so it can't spread.
3. Respond
We contact you, explain what happened in plain English and fix the cause.
4. Report
You get a clear summary of what happened and what we've done to stop it happening again.

Frequently asked questions
What is managed cyber security?
Managed cyber security is an ongoing service where a provider protects, monitors and maintains your business's security for a monthly fee. At SS NovaTech, it includes 24/7 threat monitoring through Huntress, Seqrite endpoint protection, email security, patching and regular security reports.
How much does managed cyber security cost?
SS NovaTech's managed cyber security plans cost $495 a month (Small Business), $895 a month (Growing Business) and $1,495 a month (Business Plus). One-off security work is billed from $89 an hour.
Do I still need antivirus if I have a SOC?
Yes. Endpoint protection blocks known threats automatically. The SOC catches suspicious activity that slips past, such as an attacker trying to blend in with normal activity. They work best together, which is why our plans include both.
What should I do if we've been hacked?
Call us on 03 9117 6991 straight away. Critical issues get a response within 30 to 60 minutes. We'll contain the threat, help you recover and work out what needs to happen next.
