Cyber threats today are more sophisticated than ever. Many small and mid-sized businesses make the mistake of thinking a single antivirus product is enough to keep their systems safe. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case.

What Is Endpoint Protection?

Endpoint protection refers to tools designed to protect individual devices—like desktops, laptops, or mobile phones—on your network. These tools can stop malware, detect suspicious behavior, and block dangerous downloads.

While endpoint protection is still essential, it’s just one piece of the puzzle.

Why a Layered Security Strategy Matters

Threats don’t just come through downloads anymore. Phishing emails, compromised cloud platforms, exposed credentials, and unpatched software vulnerabilities all open doors to cyberattacks. A single layer of protection simply can’t keep up.

A layered security strategy adds redundancy, so if one line of defense fails, others stand ready. Think of it like locking your doors and setting an alarm.

Examples of Layered Security Measures:

• Firewall protection
• Email filtering
• Secure DNS filtering
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
• Regular software patching
• Network monitoring
• Data backup and recovery solutions

How Benson Communications Can Help

At Benson Communications, we design comprehensive security plans that match your unique business needs. We combine endpoint protection with layered security architecture to minimize risk across your entire network. Whether you need help setting up secure remote access, rolling out MFA, or protecting your cloud systems—our team can help you implement a resilient defense system.

But here’s something critical that applies to everyone:

Without Data Backup, None of This Matters

Even the most secure business can fall victim to a breach or disaster. That’s why regular, verified backups are non-negotiable. If ransomware strikes, a natural disaster hits, or someone accidentally deletes critical data—you need a clean, recent copy ready to restore.

Benson offers a robust data-backup solution that automatically protects your files and systems, whether on-site or in the cloud. Don’t let one mistake erase years of work.
