Small and mid-sized businesses across Vancouver Island are now prime targets — precisely because attackers know they're less protected. ALPHA builds the layered security posture your business needs to operate with confidence.
We'll show you where your exposure is. No obligation.
Cybersecurity used to mean installing antivirus and calling it done. That model is finished. Modern threats bypass traditional defenses in minutes. The businesses that stay protected treat cybersecurity as an ongoing operational discipline — not a one-time purchase.
Attackers encrypt your files and demand payment to restore them. Businesses without backups face impossible choices. Recovery costs average hundreds of thousands of dollars — before lost revenue and client trust.
Attackers impersonate vendors, executives, or clients via email — requesting wire transfers, credential changes, or sensitive data. The fastest-growing attack type against SMBs. It doesn't require any technical exploit.
A single compromised password is often all it takes to access your email, your files, and your financial systems. Most breaches start here. Password reuse turns one breach into many.
Not all threats are external. Staff who download data, use personal devices without controls, or accidentally share sensitive files create real exposure — often without any malicious intent.
Attackers compromise the software or service providers you trust, then move into your environment through that trusted connection. This is how sophisticated actors are moving against SMBs.
Average cost of a data breach for a small Canadian business — recovery, legal, regulatory, and reputational costs. Many don't recover.
No single tool stops all threats. Businesses that rely on one product — even a good one — have blind spots. ALPHA builds security in layers.
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies, and privileged identity management through Microsoft Entra ID. Only the right people reach the right systems.
SentinelOne on every device — AI-driven endpoint detection and response that identifies and neutralizes threats in real time, even offline. Not traditional antivirus.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 blocks phishing, malware, and spoofed senders before they reach your team's inbox. BEC simulation training keeps staff sharp.
SonicWall firewalls and Aruba networking control what enters and exits your environment. Guest networks, VPN, and traffic filtering — configured properly and reviewed regularly.
Keeper Enterprise gives every staff member a secure vault for credentials — eliminating the password reuse and Post-it-note problems that make breaches trivially easy.
Datto provides immutable cloud backup that can't be encrypted by ransomware. When the worst happens, recovery is measured in hours, not weeks.
We start by understanding where you are. Our assessment identifies gaps, misconfigurations, exposed access, and unprotected assets — prioritized by actual risk level.
Continuous monitoring of your environment. When a threat is detected, ALPHA responds — not just alerts you. The difference between a near-miss and a full breach often comes down to response speed.
Most M365 environments are deployed with default settings that are nowhere near secure. ALPHA hardens your tenant — email filtering, conditional access, data loss prevention, identity protection.
SentinelOne deployed and managed across every device — workstations, laptops, and servers. Policy configuration, threat response, and ongoing management included.
Your team is your biggest risk factor — and with training, they become your most valuable first line of defense. Phishing simulation and security awareness training that changes behavior.
If something goes wrong, ALPHA responds. Containment, investigation, recovery, and documentation — including support for cyber insurance claims and regulatory notification requirements.
Book a cybersecurity assessment. We'll review your current environment, identify the gaps, and give you a prioritized plan for closing them.
