Essential Plan
NexusTek’s managed protection service plan lays the foundation to protect your business from cybercriminals. Our certified engineers monitor your systems for threats 24/7/365 and notify your team of any breaches with immediate alerts. Incident remediation services can be added on an ad hoc basis.

NexusTek’s technical consultants perform an annual security review to assess the health of your company’s security posture and recommend tailored solutions to improve cyber defenses.
Standard Plan
NexusTek’s managed protection and response plan not only defends against cyberattacks but also reacts to them, providing expert support for those high-stakes moments. In addition to 24/7/365 monitoring and alerting and the managed security solutions of the Essential Plan, this package features managed DNS security and cybersecurity awareness training per user. On top of the annual security review, NexusTek will perform a vulnerability scan of the network edge per site every quarter. Our assistance with third-party cybersecurity questionnaires helps protect your revenue and lower cyber insurance premiums. If a security breach occurs, rest easy with incident response and remediation services included in the plan.
Advanced Plan
NexusTek’s managed detection and response plan protects your business, discerns security threats, and responds to cyberattacks. NexusTek’s Security Operations Center proactively monitors your IT systems 24/7/365 for constant vigilance and performs Security Information Event Management (SIEM) to detect and analyze malware activity. This comprehensive plan features unlimited event log correlation and aggregation monitoring per user to uncover threat patterns and vulnerabilities.

FAQs
Why is cybersecurity critical for a business?
Research suggests that a business is attacked by a cybercriminal every 11 seconds. Last year, phishing attacks rose 11% and ransomware increased 6%. 68% of businesses experienced one or more successful endpoint attacks in the past 12 months. The cost of a social engineering attack averages $130,000 in stolen money or lost data, and 40% of small businesses experienced eight or more hours of downtime due to a cyber breach. Not only can your business lose valuable data and expose customer information from a cyberattack, but a successful security breach could also cost your bottom line and your brand reputation.
What are some common cybersecurity mistakes businesses make?
Too often businesses do not take their cybersecurity seriously and allocate budget elsewhere, like marketing or product development. But what they don’t realize is that a cyberattack has the power to bring an organization to its knees: 60% of small companies go out of business within six months of a successful security breach.
Here are common cybersecurity mistakes your business should remedy, and fast:
- Assuming your company is too small to be a target
43% of cyberattacks explicitly target small businesses. - Considering cybersecurity an IT cost rather than a business requirement
The average cost of a data breach was $3.86 million in 2020. - Thinking software is a singular solution
52% of enterprises are not practicing mature cybersecurity with a multi-layered approach. - Setting it and then forgetting it
One in five businesses reported no security testing within the past six months. - Maintaining an inefficient inventory of assets across locations
The cost of an endpoint attack has increased to $8.94 million. - Neglecting patches and updates
40% of businesses wait to test and roll out patches. - Not requiring security awareness training
Only 3 in 10 employees receive cybersecurity training. - Not actively monitoring IT infrastructure
Failures in log management can cost $5.8 million a year. - Lack of an incident response plan
39% of small and medium-sized businesses do not have an incident response plan. - Lack of IT expertise or internal staff
75% of small businesses do not have IT security personnel.
NexusTek’s cybersecurity plans tackle these common, fatal mistakes with various levels of protection, detection, and responsiveness to best fit the needs of your business.
What are common cybersecurity challenges businesses face?
While a company may recognize the critical need of cybersecurity, business leaders and/or IT staff may not know where to begin. Antivirus software and firewalls may be the apparent place to start, but the implementation of a mature plan, involving managed DNS, vulnerability scans, log monitoring, and more, may seem daunting. NexusTek’s Cybersecurity experts consult with your team to discover the needs and goals of your business and then refer the security plan optimized for your company to make your cybersecurity journey as smooth as possible.
One of the first steps to implementing the ideal cybersecurity plan is ensuring that your business addresses all the necessary requirements of state and federal compliance standards and privacy legislation laws. Failure to meet such standards can lead to noncompliance fees at best and expensive data breaches at worst. NexusTek IT consultants, knowledgeable in industry standards from HIPAA for healthcare and FINRA for the finance sector, will assess your security practices to enhance them for compliance.
The next step may come from an external source: your customers. Security impacts not only your business but your clients as well. New customers or vendors may ask your company to answer a security questionnaire to certify your business’ cybersecurity matches their needs. NexusTek’s Standard and Advanced plans include consultation services to assist your team in answering such security questionnaires.
