Cyber Security
Cyber security is no longer about relying on one antivirus product. KPTech treats security as a stack of layers designed to reduce the chance of infection, account compromise, data theft, ransomware and business interruption.
The original KPTech security page makes the point simply: for businesses today, the question is less about if an attempted breach or infection will occur and more about how well prepared the business is when it does.
Why layered security matters
Antivirus is useful, but it is only one layer. A stronger security posture can combine endpoint protection, application control, zero-trust policies, network firewalls, encryption, secure authentication, backups, email protection, DNS filtering, staff training and cloud-account monitoring.
KPTech compares cyber security with business insurance: different controls reduce different kinds of risk. Protecting a computer is important, but losing access to accounts, customer records, stock information, invoices or business data can have a much larger impact than replacing a physical device.
The legacy KPTech page cites ASD/ACSC figures showing rising cybercrime reporting and increasing losses for small businesses. Those figures reinforce the need for multiple protective layers, tested backups and a response plan rather than depending on a single security product.
MSS Security Bundle
Choose individual managed security layers or bundle several together. Options include dark-web monitoring, DNS filtering, Microsoft 365/Google Workspace backup, email protection, awareness training and cloud identity protection.
Ubiquiti Firewall
Protect the whole business network at the perimeter before threats reach individual devices. KPTech supplies and supports Ubiquitisolutions with options designed to reduce large upfront costs without subscriptions.
Password Manager
Centralise encrypted credentials and sensitive information, control access by role, share credentials securely, improve password quality and make sign-in workflows easier for staff.
MSS Security Bundle
KPTech groups additional security layers into a managed security “à la carte” model. The legacy site lists individual solutions generally in the $4.30 to $7.70 per licensed user per month range, plus setup fees, with pricing based on licensed Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace users. Current pricing should always be confirmed before purchase.
Available layers
- Dark-web monitoring: continuous checks for exposed passwords and personally identifiable information, with alerts when compromised information is discovered.
- DNS security: block risky or inappropriate website categories and create custom allow/block rules.
- Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace backup: multiple daily backups of cloud data such as email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, with equivalent Google Workspace options.
- Email protection: additional defence against phishing, spear phishing, business email compromise, account takeover and identity spoofing.
- Cyber-security awareness training: ongoing staff education so employees become an active part of the defence against scams and cybercrime.
- Cloud security: identity and account-threat detection with automated response options, designed to work with Microsoft Entra ID P1 licensing.
Bundle options
- Silver: dark-web monitoring + DNS security + cloud backup = $7.70 per month.
- Gold: dark-web monitoring + DNS security + cloud backup + email protection = $12.10 per month.
- Platinum: the complete set of listed managed security layers for a more comprehensive security stack $POA.

Ubiquiti Firewall
Endpoint antivirus protects individual computers, but a business firewall adds protection at the edge of the network. The aim is to identify and stop threats before malicious traffic or an attacker reaches internal devices.
The legacy KPTech page notes that firewall protection is also commonly considered during cyber-insurance assessments. KPTech has worked with Ubiquiti security products for many years, previously supplying Cyberoam and Sophos.
When we also provide Ubiquiti switches, Ubiquiti wireless access points and Ubiquiti camera/security products, the integration gives you complete control over your entire network with easy maintenance and complete management.
Password Manager
A business password manager provides one encrypted location for credentials and other sensitive information such as payment details, account information and confidential notes, with access available from authorised devices.
Business benefits
- Role-based access: give different staff or departments access only to the systems and information they need.
- Secure sharing: share credentials and confidential information through controlled groups and folders instead of email, spreadsheets or sticky notes.
- Faster sign-in workflows: saved information can fill sign-in and form fields automatically, reducing repetitive work.
- Stronger passwords: enforce password standards, generate difficult-to-guess credentials and combine the vault with multi-factor authentication and automatic locking.
- Early breach awareness: monitor business domains, email addresses and credentials for signs that information has been exposed or compromised.
The legacy KPTech page highlights stolen and reused credentials as a major cause of account compromise. A password manager reduces the temptation to reuse simple passwords while giving management better visibility over who can access business systems.
Build the right security stack for your business
Not every organisation needs every security product. KPTech can review your current protection, identify gaps and recommend a practical mix of controls that fits the size, risk profile and budget of the business.
