Real Protect · Managed cyber security
Real Protect. 24/7 cyber security services.
You've got an alarm. But who's listening? Real Protect is the team watching and responding, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for small businesses across Australia, including Queensland and Perth.
The alarm
Endpoint security
The protection on your computers. Necessary, and almost every business has some. It detects something is wrong and raises an alert. But an alarm only helps if someone hears it and acts.
The guards
Real Protect
Real people watching around the clock. When something looks wrong at 2am on a Sunday, they investigate, shut it down, and tell you what happened.
Most small businesses have bought the alarm and assume they're covered. Whatever brand is on the wall, if nobody is watching and responding, the outcome is the same. It's not about the wrong product. It's about having no-one on duty.

What Real Protect does
Watching
Around the clock, all year
- 24/7 threat monitoring, detection and response
- A real person investigates and acts, not just an alert
- Every device, mailbox and login covered
- You're told what happened and what we did
Protecting
Closing the gaps before they're used
- Endpoint security and EDR on every device
- Security patching, kept current
- Application whitelisting
- Microsoft 365 security and access management
- Firewall management (our firewalls)
Recovering
For the day something gets through
- Backup, retention and disaster recovery
- A written Incident Response Plan: who does what, at 2am
- Help with insurer and Privacy Act conversations
- Evidence of what happened, in plain English
What we usually find
None of it anyone's fault. All of it fixable.
- An endpoint product running with nobody watching or responding behind it
- A consumer-grade router doing duty as a business firewall
- Backups that exist, but have never been tested
- No plan for who does what, and who to call, if it happens

A note from Rob
Rob Mottrom, Technical Director
Before Real Info Tech, I was one of the ANZ Directors for Sophos. What struck me was how good the technology had become for large organisations, and how little of it ever reached a business your size.
Real Protect is that same protection, sized for a business like yours and run by us. If you'd like an honest read on where you stand, I'll do that for you. No pitch, no obligation.
Let's have a conversation.
Thirty minutes with Rob, an independent review of where your business stands, and the findings in writing. In plain English, whether you do anything with us or not.
