Cybersecurity Threats Facing Gwinnett Businesses
The attacks hitting small businesses now, and how to reduce the risk.
Protect your small business from cyber threats with multi-layered cybersecurity in Atlanta and Gwinnett County. NGT Technology delivers enterprise-grade threat monitoring, endpoint detection, email security, and regulatory compliance support -- all managed by a local team that understands your business.
The Threat Is Real
43% of all cyber attacks now target small businesses. Only 14% of those businesses are prepared to defend themselves. Ransomware gangs use automated scanning tools. Phishing emails disguised as invoices, shipments, and password resets flood inboxes daily. Without a comprehensive security strategy, it's not a matter of if you'll be breached -- it's when. NGT Technology, a Lawrenceville-based managed IT provider, delivers the multi-layered cybersecurity your business needs.
Complete Protection
Traditional antivirus only catches known threats. Our advanced EDR uses behavioral analysis and machine learning to detect advanced attacks including ransomware, fileless malware, and zero-day exploits.
Over 90% of successful cyber attacks begin with a phishing email. Our advanced filtering helps detect and block malicious attachments, spoofed addresses, and credential-harvesting links before they reach your inbox.
Enterprise-grade rules, intrusion detection, and real-time alerting with regular log reviews and policy adjustments to keep your perimeter secure.
Ongoing training with simulated phishing campaigns, interactive modules, and regular assessments to transform employees into first-line defenders against social engineering.
Regular scans across entire environments with prompt critical patch deployment across operating systems, applications, and firmware to close security gaps.
Technical safeguards including encryption, access controls, audit logging, and secure data backup. We support compliance programs for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, state data protection regulations, and IRS requirements.
