When you get started working around cybersecurity, it can sound like people are speaking a foreign language. Like most of the IT industry, cybersecurity has a language of its own. We’ve all become familiar with the basic security terms and aspects when we secure our personal data and information, but when you go deeper into the rabbit hole, the more technical things can get.
When we talk about phishing, it might conjure up memories of scam emails from foreign princes, chock-full of terrible typos, grammar mistakes, and other easy-to-spot signs that the message might not be legitimate. If you’re thinking in those terms, it might shock you to find out how many people actually fall for such attacks.

Small businesses are part of the UK’s economic lifeblood. SMBs account for at least 99.5% of businesses in every main industry sector and we need to support and protect them in this challenging climate. Technology is key to helping small businesses grow, reach new customers and thrive. But digital technologies can present challenges and difficulties for any business, the top one is cybersecurity issues.
AHT takes pride in offering its clients current and relevant solutions that help them run their businesses more effectively and cost-efficiently. In this vein, AHT realized it needed to upgrade and modernize the antivirus (AV) protection it provided to customers. A significant number of AHT’s clients were still running Windows XP, which made the AV product (ESET) they relied on increasingly ineffective at protecting them from malware.
Mirus IT was plagued by all the same problems that had aggravated the IT community for years. Heavy endpoint agents were causing major performance problems, upsetting clients and frustrating technicians. Kaspersky, their former antivirus solution, was becoming a major source of support tickets in its own right. With customers and employees alike, their existing antivirus was causing major headaches.
Like many MSPs around the world, Cambridge Helpdesk was becoming more concerned about the rapid proliferation of ransomware threats in today’s security landscape. This concern was growing even more acute because Cambridge Helpdesk’s endpoint security solutions at the time (ESET and Bitdefender) were providing little or no protection against the current ransomware onslaught.
