01What we source

Security, bought in the right order.

They get called the same thing, but they protect different things and suit different budgets. Most teams start at the top.

01Email

Email security and staff training

Filters that stop phishing and fake invoices before they land, and short training that helps staff spot the ones that get through. Usually the quickest decision.

02Endpoints

Endpoint protection

Modern protection on every laptop, desktop and server, managed from one console so a device at one site is covered like one at head office.

03Secure access

Secure network access (SASE)

Firewall and VPN protection delivered as a cloud service, so someone working from home is protected the same way as someone at a desk.

04Monitoring

Managed detection and response

An outsourced security team watches your systems around the clock, investigates alerts and tells you when something needs action.

05Identity

Single sign-on and multi-factor login

One secure login for company apps, with a second check at sign-in and access removed in one place when someone leaves.

02The dates

Unsupported software is the easiest way in.

Devices and servers past their support dates stop getting security fixes, and card payment rules have moved on. Each date links to where it was published.

05FAQ

Questions operators ask

Something else? partner@wireandwatt.com

Where should we start?

Usually with email security and staff training, then endpoint protection. We look at what you already have before recommending anything new.

Does this replace our IT person or provider?

No. Managed detection and response teams work alongside your IT person or managed service provider, handling the round-the-clock watch.

Is monitoring really around the clock?

Managed detection and response providers staff their monitoring around the clock. We confirm coverage and response terms in writing for each quote.

What does it cost?

Our help costs you nothing: the provider you choose pays us. Security is usually priced per user or per device per month, and quoted for your setup.
