Cyber Security for
Brisbane Businesses

At minimum, Brisbane businesses need endpoint protection, email security, MFA, regular patching, backup verification, and security awareness training. Growing businesses should also implement managed detection and response, Essential 8 alignment, and a documented incident response plan.

MDR is a cyber security service that combines technology and human expertise to continuously monitor your environment for threats. Unlike basic antivirus, MDR detects advanced threats, performs threat hunting, and provides rapid containment — acting as a 24/7 security operations centre for your business.

The Essential 8 applies to all Australian businesses regardless of location. It defines eight mitigation strategies that address the most common cyber threats. For Brisbane businesses, alignment to Essential 8 is increasingly required by clients, insurers, and regulators. Mino IT aligns all clients to this framework.

Immediately isolate affected systems, contact your managed IT provider, preserve evidence, and follow your incident response plan. If you don't have an IR plan or a provider to call, that's the first gap to address. Mino IT provides documented IR playbooks and 24/7 incident escalation for all clients.

Cyber security is typically included in managed IT services at $100 to $250 per user per month. Standalone security services vary based on scope. The cost of implementing security is always less than the cost of a breach — the average cost of a cyber incident for Australian SMBs is over $46,000.
