About

Cythera is a specialist Cyber Security Managed Services Provider (MSSP) which means our in-house team of Australian experts will help defend our clients from cyber attacks and deliver IT security services as a modular subscription that is specifically designed for businesses that don't have dedicated security resources.

Our cyber security portfolio utilises best-in-class technology from leading global technology vendors which is operated and supported by a team of Australian based Cythera security experts.

Our solutions are affordably priced, but still use enterprise grade technology to ensure smaller businesses can afford to stay defended against even the most advanced threats - just like a big bank. We're 100% security focused and extremely specialised which means we can respond quickly to security risks and we continuously search for emerging ways to best protect our clients.

Cyber crime is a big issue. The average cost of cyber crime to a business in Australia is around $276,000, and over the course of the last two years there has been a dramatic increase. Many businesses could not afford this type of cost and with more employees now working remotely due to COVID-19 there is further likelihood of cyber attack on employees when not working from a secured office location. Cyber criminals have many ways of crafting a cyber attack, whether this is via phishing (email, sms), ransomware, credential theft, unpatched applications, or even fileless attacks. Without the proper security controls, it's not a matter of if a business will be attacked, it's when!

The Cythera team can help your company prevent cyber threats and rapidly respond to cyber attacks like phishing, account compromise, malware, ransomware, fileless attacks and even securing critical systems and cloud applications. Put simply, we protect your users and systems from cyber attack and we can also monitor and defend against malicious internal behavior which could result in the loss of sensitive data, private information, financial details or critical ICT systems.

Cythera’s managed security solutions use the best technology in the world. We researched and tested it against other leading solutions and based on our findings, our chosen solutions had the highest efficacy at stopping threats and included the best feature set with the most functional modularity. Additionally, each solution works

We also don't price based on log volumes. This can make other competitive services extremely expensive - especially if you don’t understand your total log volume requirement. In comparison we use an asset count (workstations, laptops and servers) and an "all you can eat philosophy" which allows customers to throw as much security data as they want at the system. So long as we know the asset count, that's all we care about.

Our team also utilises cutting-edge automation. Security Orchestration and Automation Response (SOAR) is relatively new to SOC solutions. We've built our based on this capability and allows us to auto-magically respond to threat detections without lifting a finger. Many competitive solutions are not this advanced. We also monitor User Behavior Analysis (UBA) to track insider threats and not just external attacks. This really helps businesses that are being attacked from the inside as we can detect and respond in real time. Most competitive solutions don't include UBA. We also incorporate threat hunting to pro-actively search for threats across a clients network and write custom playbooks to help fast track response to defined incidents.

The cost of your company's security solution depends entirely on your requirements, such as size, infrastructure, existing protection, number of endpoints and many more factors.

Our IT security service is cheaper than hiring a single security resource and clients would need more than one resource to provide 24x7 coverage anyway.

What can be relied on is your cyber security services being delivered at an affordable monthly subscription, simply priced which includes configuration, installation and ongoing specialised security support all delivered by Australian based operators.

You won’t be locked into ongoing contracts either because Cythera values partnerships. Our services have low commitment monthly terms.
