That’s why WaTech makes cybersecurity a top priority for each small business we serve. Our cloud-accessed, all-in-one cybersecurity solution includes centrally managed virus and malware protection. That means a small service is loaded on each client endpoint, allowing for hundreds of security functions all at once. This complete cybersecurity solution protects your business from:

We also stay ahead of threats with proactive approaches like constant updates, patching, and threat alerts. WaTech’s cybersecurity lets you rest easy and focus on running your business, while we keep it safe.

  • Stops spam, phishing, and malware
  • Scans links and attachments
  • Works with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other platforms
