Cybersecurity that actually stops attacks.
Miami small businesses are the #1 ransomware target in Florida. We audit, harden, train, and monitor. CISSP-certified team, real penetration testing, hurricane-proof backups.
Why Miami is a ransomware bullseye
Miami-Dade has the highest concentration of small businesses (~80,000+) per capita in Florida, the highest density of bilingual targets (phishing translates well to Spanish, doubling the attack surface), and a transient workforce that creates credential turnover. The result: Miami SMBs see 3.2x the ransomware attempts of comparable cities.
Most local IT shops only do reactive cleanup — virus removal after the breach. We do proactive defense — security audit, hardening, training, monitoring. Pay a fraction for prevention or pay six figures in ransom + downtime + recovery. Math is obvious.
Cybersecurity services we deliver
- Security audit + risk assessment — your current attack surface mapped, vulnerabilities scored CVSS, prioritized remediation plan. fixed-fee project, 10 business days.
- Penetration testing — real attempted compromise by certified ethical hackers. External, internal, web app, or red team scope. Scoped quote after discovery call.
- Anti-phishing training + simulation — ongoing simulated phishing campaigns against your team + custom training when they click. Drops click rate from ~28% baseline to ~3% in 6 months. monthly retainer.
- Endpoint protection deployment — replace consumer antivirus (Norton, McAfee) with enterprise EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne). Catches what Defender misses. monthly retainer with licensing pass-through and a one-time deployment fee.
- Firewall configuration audit — your existing pfSense, SonicWall, Fortinet, or Sophos reviewed. Common finding: 60% of Miami SMB firewalls have rules left over from former employees, exposing internal systems. fixed-fee project.
- Compliance prep — HIPAA (healthcare), PCI-DSS (anyone taking credit cards), SOC 2 (B2B SaaS sales). We prep your environment + documentation for auditor. Scoped quote depending on framework.
- Incident response retainer — when (not if) you get hit, we are on-call 24/7 for forensic response, containment, and recovery. monthly retainer standby, hourly billing during active incident.
What we actually find when we audit Miami businesses
- RDP exposed directly to the internet (75% of Miami SMBs have at least one)
- Domain admin accounts shared by 3+ people via Post-it on a desk (60%)
- Backups never tested for restoration (82%)
- No MFA on Microsoft 365 admin (50%)
- WordPress site running plugins last updated 2019 (90%)
- Server room with the key under the keyboard (40%)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle a ransomware attack in progress?
Step 1 (immediate): isolate infected machines from network — pull cables if needed. Step 2: identify the ransomware variant. Some are decryptable with public tools (free). Others require restore from backup. Step 3: confirm scope. Step 4: clean restore from a known-good backup taken BEFORE the encryption began. Step 5: forensic investigation of entry point so it does not happen again. We strongly recommend NOT paying ransom — only 65% of payers actually get working decryption keys.
Do we really need penetration testing?
If you handle financial data, healthcare data, customer PII, or operate any web app where compromise = lost business: yes, annually. If you are just a 5-person office running QuickBooks: probably not — a focused security audit covers you. We tell you which bucket you fall into during the discovery call.
What is the average breach cost for a Miami SMB?
IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025: small business breach averages millions when you include ransom, downtime, customer notification, regulatory fines, lawsuits, and lost business. Median ransomware demand specifically targeting Miami SMBs in 2025 — quoted after free diagnosis. Even paying the lowest demand + 14 days downtime + customer trust loss runs into six figures+. Prevention costs far less, scoped to your environment on scope.
