Comprehensive Cybersecurity & Compliance for Australian Businesses.

The DefenderSuite is a comprehensive cybersecurity service tailored for businesses of all sizes. It offers multiple levels of cybersecurity protection to ensure compliance, protect data, and defend against cyber threats. Each package is designed to meet specific business needs, from basic threat blocking and multi-factor authentication to advanced detection and response.

Managed cybersecurity offers proactive protection against cyber threats, minimises risk, and allows businesses to focus on growth without worrying about security. With services like DefenderSuite, you gain continuous monitoring, threat detection, and rapid incident response, helping safeguard valuable data and maintain regulatory compliance.

Identity and Access Management controls who has access to sensitive data and resources. By implementing features like Privileged Identity Management and Just-In-Time access, DefenderSuite ensures that only verified and authorised users have access, minimizing risk and protecting against unauthorized access.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a technology that allows businesses to manage, monitor, and secure employees’ mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, used for work purposes. MDM provides a centralized platform to enforce security policies, control access to sensitive data, and protect against potential threats. With MDM, businesses can remotely configure devices, push updates, manage app access, and wipe data if a device is lost or compromised. This ensures that all mobile devices used within an organization adhere to the same security standards, helping to protect both company data and user privacy.

Adaptive Threat Response (ATR) is a security feature that dynamically adjusts defenses to counter advanced attackers who exploit newly publicised vulnerabilities and utilize non-public tools. By continuously adapting to emerging threats, ATR ensures your systems remain resilient against evolving cyber tactics.

Privilege Escalation Guard (PEG) prevents attackers from gaining elevated access rights within your network after an initial breach. By limiting unauthorized privilege escalation, PEG helps contain potential threats and protects sensitive resources from compromise.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security process requiring users to verify their identity with multiple factors, such as a password and a unique code sent to a device. MFA helps protect your accounts by adding an extra layer of defense, even if a password is compromised. The DefenderSuite enforces and monitors MFA across plans to strengthen your business’s security.

Dark Web Monitoring scans the dark web for any leaked data related to your business, such as compromised credentials or sensitive information. If any exposure is detected, you’ll receive alerts to take action before the information can be used maliciously. This service is included in DefenderCore and higher plans.

Exploit Mitigation Service (EMS) addresses vulnerabilities by mitigating the impact of publicly available exploits, especially on systems with legacy or weak configurations. EMS strengthens your security posture by proactively managing known weaknesses and reducing the risk of exploitation.

The DefenderSuite is aligned with recognised cybersecurity standards, such as the Australian Signals Directorate’s Essential Eight and other compliance frameworks. This alignment helps businesses meet regulatory requirements, protect sensitive data, and avoid potential fines for non-compliance. The suite includes features like audit logging, MFA, and reporting to simplify compliance management.

Yes, DefenderSuite includes compliance-oriented features like Disaster Recovery, Information Security Compliance, and the Essential Eight Implementation to help businesses meet compliance standards of the Australian 2024 cybersecurity bill and ensure regulatory alignment across data security practices.

The Essential Eight is a set of cybersecurity strategies recommended by the Australian Cyber Security Centre to protect against cyber threats. DefenderSuite helps implement these strategies to enhance security and minimise risks from cyberattacks.

Privileged Identity Management (PIM) restricts access to sensitive systems by controlling who can access administrative functions. PIM enforces strict controls and grants access only to those who need it for specific tasks. It is particularly beneficial for businesses with sensitive data, such as financial institutions, healthcare providers, and other high-security environments. DefenderPro and DefenderElite offer PIM setup for better access control.

Microsoft 365 Managed Security provides continuous monitoring and threat detection for your Microsoft 365 environment. Leveraging advanced threat intelligence, this service safeguards your email, data, and collaboration tools against sophisticated cyber threats, ensuring a secure and compliant workspace.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities in the DefenderSuite are designed to monitor, detect, and respond to potential cyber threats across devices. With real-time threat detection, EDR provides proactive protection by identifying suspicious activities, blocking harmful actions, and responding quickly to prevent further harm. Each package level offers progressively advanced EDR features, ensuring your business stays secure.

Keeping systems updated is essential for cybersecurity, and the DefenderSuite automates patching for Microsoft and third-party applications. This automation ensures that your software is always up-to-date, reducing vulnerabilities and freeing up your team to focus on other critical tasks.

Just-in-Time (JIT) Access is an advanced cybersecurity feature that restricts privileged access to sensitive systems and data. Rather than allowing continuous access, JIT Access grants temporary, time-limited permissions to users only when needed. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and reduces the potential impact of credential misuse or cyberattacks. DefenderElite includes JIT Access to protect high-risk environments with critical data.

The DefenderSuite includes cloud backup to store your business's critical data securely. Regular backups ensure that you can recover data quickly in case of accidental deletion, cyberattacks, or hardware failure. This data is stored in the cloud, offering redundancy and peace of mind.

The DefenderSuite is beneficial for any business seeking to enhance its cybersecurity posture. It is particularly well-suited for companies in regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, legal), businesses with distributed teams or remote workers, and organizations looking to maintain compliance with industry standards. The tiered plans allow businesses of all sizes to find a level of protection that fits their needs and budget.

The DefenderSuite provides a tailored, tiered approach to cybersecurity, allowing businesses to select the exact level of protection they need. Unlike many solutions, it offers comprehensive services, including automated patching, dark web monitoring, privileged identity management, and more. Additionally, the DefenderSuite’s plans are designed to grow with your business, allowing you to scale up protection as your company expands or faces new risks.
