CYBER SECURITY SERVICES PERTH

Cyber Security Services Perth Built Around Real Business Risk

Western Technology helps Perth businesses improve cyber security across Microsoft 365, user accounts, computers, email, networks and backups. We focus on practical controls that reduce risk without making security difficult for your staff to use.

Microsoft 365 • MFA & identity • Endpoint protection • Email & backup

LAYERED BUSINESS SECURITY

Protect the accounts, devices and data your business depends on.

Assess

Find the security gaps that matter most to your business.

Protect

Apply practical controls across accounts, devices, email and networks.

Improve

Review the result and strengthen security as your business changes.

Security That Fits the Business

Start with the most useful controls, then build a stronger security baseline over time.

Protect Accounts

Strengthen sign-ins, MFA, administrator access and user permissions.

Protect Devices

Keep business computers patched, monitored and protected against malicious software.

Protect Email

Reduce phishing, account takeover and business email compromise risk.

Protect Data

Use access controls, backups and recovery planning to protect important business information.

Security works best in layers

One product cannot protect every part of a business. Stronger security comes from several sensible controls working together.

CYBER SECURITY EXPLAINED SIMPLY

What Does Business Cyber Security Actually Protect?

Cyber security is the way your business protects the systems and information it uses every day. That includes email accounts, Microsoft 365, laptops, passwords, cloud files, backups, Wi-Fi and the network connecting everything together.

The goal is not to make every system impossible to use. The goal is to make common attacks harder, limit what an attacker can access and give the business a way to recover if something still goes wrong.

Identity and user accounts
Computers and business devices
Email and Microsoft 365
Files and cloud data
Firewalls, Wi-Fi and network access
Backups and recovery capability

A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

Start With Three Security Controls That Matter

ASD’s Australian Cyber Security Centre recommends small businesses start by using multi-factor authentication, updating software and backing up information. These simple controls are a strong foundation before adding more advanced security.

Turn On MFA

Use multi-factor authentication on important business accounts so a stolen password is not enough to sign in.

Keep Software Updated

Patch operating systems, browsers and business applications so known weaknesses are fixed sooner.

Back Up Important Data

Keep regular backups and make sure the business knows what can be restored after an incident.

PRACTICAL CYBER SECURITY SERVICES

Cyber Security Services for Perth Businesses

Start with the gaps that create the most risk, then build a security baseline that is easier to manage and maintain.

Cyber Security Review

Review the main areas of your environment and identify practical security improvements in priority order.

Microsoft 365 Security

Improve the security of business email, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 administration.

MFA & Identity Protection

Strengthen sign-in security and reduce the risk of stolen passwords being used to access business systems.

Endpoint Protection

Protect laptops and desktops with modern security software, device controls and practical monitoring.

Email & Phishing Protection

Reduce the chance of malicious email, impersonation and compromised accounts reaching staff.

Patch & Update Management

Keep supported operating systems and applications updated so known vulnerabilities are addressed.

Firewall & Network Security

Review the network edge, Wi-Fi and access between devices so unnecessary exposure is reduced.

Backup & Recovery Security

Make sure important business data is backed up and there is a realistic path to restore it after an incident.

Security Awareness & Planning

Help staff recognise common threats and give the business a simple plan for what to do when something suspicious happens.

MICROSOFT 365 SECURITY

Protect the Accounts That Hold Your Email and Files

For many businesses, Microsoft 365 holds email, files, meetings and user identities in one place. A compromised account can therefore affect much more than a single inbox.

We can review how users sign in, who has administrator access, how information is shared and which security controls are appropriate for the Microsoft 365 licence your business uses.

Multi-factor authentication and sign-in controls
Administrator and privileged account review
Exchange Online and email security settings
OneDrive and SharePoint sharing controls
User access and licence review
Security recommendations based on the tenant

EMAIL IS A COMMON ATTACK PATH

Reduce Phishing and Business Email Compromise Risk

A convincing email can trick a staff member into entering a password, opening a malicious file or sending money to the wrong bank account. Business email compromise can also use a real account after it has been taken over.

Technology can reduce the risk, but staff also need a simple process for checking unusual payment requests, password prompts and changes to supplier bank details.

Email filtering and security settings
MFA for business email accounts
Lookalike and impersonation awareness
Process for verifying payment changes
User reporting for suspicious messages
Security awareness for staff

SIMPLE STAFF RULE

Stop, check, then act.

If a payment request, password prompt or account change feels unusual, verify it through a separate trusted contact method before proceeding.

PATCH

Keep supported software current

PROTECT

Use modern endpoint security

CONTROL

Limit unnecessary admin access

ENDPOINT AND DEVICE SECURITY

Protect the Computers Your Staff Use Every Day

Business laptops and desktops hold access to email, files and business applications. Keeping them updated and protected helps reduce the chance that one compromised device becomes a wider business problem.

Supported operating systems and applications
Security updates and patching
Endpoint protection and malware defence
Reduced local administrator access where practical
Device encryption options where suitable
Secure setup for replacement or new devices

ASD ESSENTIAL EIGHT

Use the Essential Eight as a Practical Security Baseline

The Essential Eight is a set of eight mitigation strategies published by the Australian Signals Directorate for internet-connected business IT environments. We can use it as a reference point when planning security improvements, without presenting a basic review as a formal Essential Eight assessment.

Patch Applications

Keep business applications updated so known weaknesses are addressed.

Patch Operating Systems

Keep supported operating systems and network devices current.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Require another verification step for important business access.

Restrict Admin Privileges

Give elevated access only where it is genuinely required.

Application Control

Control which applications are allowed to run where appropriate.

Restrict Office Macros

Reduce exposure to malicious macro content in Microsoft Office files.

User Application Hardening

Reduce risky features in browsers, PDF software and other user applications.

Regular Backups

Back up important business data and protect the ability to restore it.

FIREWALL AND NETWORK SECURITY

Reduce Unnecessary Exposure Across the Network

The network connects users, servers, printers, cameras, access points and cloud services. Good security starts with knowing what is connected and limiting access that is not required.

Business firewall and gateway review
Secure Wi-Fi configuration
Guest and business network separation
Remote access and VPN review
Internet-exposed service review
Supported network firmware and updates

SECURITY QUESTION

Does every device need access to every other device?

Often the answer is no. Sensible network separation can reduce unnecessary access between staff, guest, camera and other device networks.

BACKUPS ARE PART OF CYBER SECURITY

Plan How the Business Will Recover

Security controls reduce risk, but they cannot guarantee that an incident will never happen. Backups give the business another path when files are deleted, encrypted, corrupted or otherwise unavailable.

A useful backup plan should be clear about what is protected, how often it is backed up, how long copies are kept and how the business will restore information when it is needed.

Identify important business data
Include cloud data where required
Protect backup access
Set sensible retention periods
Test restore processes
Document the recovery approach

PEOPLE ARE PART OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM

Give Staff a Simple Way to Spot and Report Problems

Security is easier to manage when staff know what suspicious activity looks like and what they should do next.

Recognise Suspicious Messages

Teach staff to slow down around unexpected links, login prompts, payment changes and unusual requests.

Know How to Report It

Give staff a clear way to report suspicious email, strange sign-ins or possible security incidents.

Have an Incident Plan

Write down who makes decisions, who contacts IT and what the business should do if systems become unavailable.

CYBER SECURITY REVIEW

Understand Where to Improve First

A useful security review should not produce a long list of technical findings with no context. It should show which gaps matter most to the business, what should be fixed first and which improvements can be planned later.

Accounts

MFA, admin access, user accounts and sign-in security.

Microsoft 365

Email, sharing, cloud access and security configuration.

Devices

Supported systems, patching and endpoint protection.

Email

Phishing protection, user awareness and account risk.

Network

Firewall, Wi-Fi, remote access and unnecessary exposure.

Backups

Coverage, protection, retention and restore readiness.

A PRACTICAL SECURITY IMPROVEMENT PROCESS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Cyber Security Services Perth FAQs

Straightforward answers about Microsoft 365 security, MFA, devices, phishing, the Essential Eight and security reviews.

What is included in your cyber security services?

Services can include Microsoft 365 security, MFA and identity protection, endpoint security, email and phishing protection, patching, firewall and network security, backup review, security awareness and incident planning. The exact scope depends on your environment and priorities.

Do small businesses really need cyber security?

Yes. Small businesses rely on email, cloud accounts, online banking, devices and business data just like larger organisations. Practical security controls can reduce the chance that a stolen password, malicious email or compromised device causes wider disruption.

What is a cyber security review?

A cyber security review looks at agreed areas of your environment, identifies gaps and turns them into a prioritised improvement plan. It is different from a formal penetration test or formal Essential Eight assessment.

Can you secure our Microsoft 365 environment?

Yes. We can review areas such as MFA, administrator access, user accounts, Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and available Microsoft 365 security settings based on the licences you use.

Can you set up multi-factor authentication?

Yes. We can help configure MFA for Microsoft 365 and other supported business services, then help users understand the new sign-in process.

Can you help protect us from phishing emails?

Yes. Email protection can combine security configuration, MFA, filtering, user awareness and a clear process for checking suspicious payment or account requests.

Do you provide endpoint security?

Yes. We can help protect supported laptops and desktops using suitable endpoint security, patching and device configuration. The exact product and monitoring level can be selected based on your needs.

Can you help with the Essential Eight?

Yes. We can use the ASD Essential Eight as a practical reference point for security uplift work. If you require a formal assessment for a contract, tender or governance requirement, the assessment scope should be confirmed separately.

Do you perform penetration testing?

A vulnerability review and a penetration test are different services. If formal penetration testing is required, the scope, independence requirements and testing method should be confirmed before work begins.

Can you review our firewall and Wi-Fi security?

Yes. We can review business firewall, gateway, remote access, Wi-Fi and network separation settings where they form part of the agreed security scope.

Are Microsoft 365 files automatically backed up?

Cloud services provide platform resilience, but that does not automatically mean every business has the backup and recovery arrangement it needs. We can review what information matters, what is currently protected and whether additional backup is appropriate.

Can you help us create a cyber incident response plan?

Yes. We can help create a practical response plan that covers reporting, decision making, IT contacts, containment steps and business recovery actions.

Do you guarantee that our business cannot be hacked?

No provider can guarantee that a business will never experience a cyber incident. The goal is to reduce risk, make common attacks harder, limit the impact of a compromise and improve recovery capability.

How do we get started?

Contact Western Technology with a short description of your current environment and concerns. We can then recommend whether the next step should be a focused security review, a specific improvement or an ongoing security service.
