Empowering Small Businesses with Cybersecurity Through Atro

Go Digital Hero, a virtual assistant (VA) company founded by Jason Nunez, specializes in supporting small business owners with a range of tasks. However, Jason recognized a growing need for another essential service: cybersecurity. "Small & medium businesses (SMB’s) are the backbone of our economy," says Jason, "yet they're often neglected when it comes to cybersecurity. Traditional solutions are expensive, complex, and require dedicated IT staff – resources most SMB’s simply don't have." This lack of protection leaves smaller businesses especially vulnerable. A 2023 study by Cybersecurity company BlackFog found that over half of small businesses were successfully cyber attacked that same year. These attacks can be devastating, leading to financial loss, data breaches, and reputational damage.

Atro: A Game-Changer for Small Businesses

Jason discovered Atro, a comprehensive cybersecurity solution, and quickly saw its potential to empower Go Digital Hero's clients. "One of the things I love most about Atro is how easy it is to implement and use," he explains. "Even for non-technical people like many of my customers, Atro is straightforward, automated, and requires minimal setup."

The Atro Advantage for Smaller Businesses

Atro offers several advantages that make it ideal for SMBs:

  • Foundational Security in One Place
    Unlike traditional "point solutions" that address only specific cybersecurity issues, Atro provides a comprehensive suite of tools, including awareness training, policies, device protection, and email security. This holistic approach minimizes the need for multiple, expensive solutions.
  • Fast and Easy Implementation
    "With the help of the Atro team, we are able to get my customers set up and cyber secure in a matter of a couple of hours," says Jason. Atro's user-friendly interface reduces the burden typically associated with rolling out cybersecurity solutions, allowing businesses to focus on their business.
  • Cost-Effective Protection
    Traditional solutions often come with hefty price tags and ongoing management fees. Atro's subscription model offers SMBs affordable access to advanced cybersecurity without breaking the bank.

Proactive Security, Peace of Mind

Beyond simply offering protection, Atro's Security Assessment tool empowers Jason to take a proactive approach with his clients. Explains Jason, "Much of our business is helping our customers when they ask us for help. This is more of a reactive function. I love the fact that with Atro, I can serve as a proactive advisor to my customers to help them achieve something of real importance and value: getting cybersecure."

By using the Atro Security Assessment, Jason can initiate critical conversations about cybersecurity with his clients before an attack occurs. This proactive approach allows him to position Go Digital Hero as a trusted advisor, going beyond reactive service fulfillment.

Conclusion

Atro has helped to give Go Digital Hero another valuable service to offer its customers. Atro's user-friendly interface, comprehensive protection, and affordability make it a perfect fit for small and mid-sized businesses. Ultimately, Atro allows Go Digital Hero to not only help secure their clients' businesses but also creates a valuable new revenue stream for their company. "Atro gives my clients peace of mind, allows them to focus on their core business, and offers Go Digital Hero another way to serve our customers and grow our business."
