Cybercrime is exploding. The FBI and IMF estimate global costs could reach $23 trillion by 2027. The average breach? Over $4.4 million in damages.
1 in 3 small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) has already faced an attack. Hackers know SMBs have fewer defenses, making them easy targets.
The problem, however, is that building an in-house cybersecurity team is expensive and time-consuming. That’s why smart businesses are turning to managed cybersecurity services, a faster, more cost-effective way to stay protected 24/7.
Managed cybersecurity services mean outsourcing your company’s security operations to a dedicated partner like Cortavo. Instead of piecing together tools, hiring expensive staff, and hoping it all works, you get round-the-clock protection handled by certified experts.
What We Cover Day-to-Day:
Let’s be real, hiring a full cybersecurity team isn’t feasible for most SMBs. Certified pros command six-figure salaries. Specialized tools and monitoring platforms cost a fortune. Even well-funded enterprises struggle to keep up with evolving threats.
With managed cybersecurity, you get the same level of protection (often better) for a fraction of the cost. Plus, you don’t have to worry about turnover, training, or late-night breaches.
We fit into your business the way you need:
Short answer: Any business that wants peace of mind and the freedom to focus on growth.
Hackers don’t just go after big corporations anymore. Small and mid-sized businesses are prime targets.
They’re for:
In other words, a business that relies on data, uptime, or customer trust needs managed cybersecurity services.
The value goes beyond protection. With managed security, you gain 24/7 monitoring so threats are neutralized before they spread, compliance expertise without hiring costly specialists, and predictable costs instead of unpredictable IT expenses.

At Cortavo, we designed our services around what SMBs actually need, so there’s no fluff or overkill. Just practical, proven protection.
Your online business is exposed to the network, good and bad characters. A vigilant eye is needed, and so our Security Operations Center combines human expertise with AI-powered systems to monitor your networks 24/7, 365 days. Any suspicious activity is flagged, investigated, and then taken care of before it’s given a chance to turn into a breach.
MDR is extremely important because if an attack begins, and there are no alerts, you’re just letting the bad guys take over and do damage. Our MDR systems make sure our team responds immediately if an attack begins. We contain the threat, mitigate the damage, and bring things back to normal.
A smart thing to do is actively look for weak links within your defense chain. Why? Well, because the wiser strategy is to find your weakness before someone else does. So, we regularly run vulnerability scans and, from the data gathered from them, apply patches and make sure everything, your system and programs, is all up-to-date and hardened against known threats.
Email security tends to be weak for most SMBs, which explains why email compromise and phishing are considered top threats to SMBs. With that in mind, we put extra attention towards cloud and email security solutions that protect your organization against malicious links, malware attachments, and unauthorized access.
Things go wrong even in the biggest of companies with the most elaborate in-house IT team and budgets soaring through the skies. So, every solid strategy includes a worst-case scenario for which a safety net is set in place.
Our team makes sure regular backups happen, and their integrity is verified, so, in case of said worst-case scenario, your data can be restored quickly, reliably, and you’re back on track in no time, minimizing any unplanned downtime and disruption to work.
To a good extent, human error is the biggest factor influencing data breaches. Employees are often, unfortunately, the weak points.
Our training programs educate staff, for they can be our very first line of defense as well, on recognizing phishing, handling sensitive data properly, and maintaining safe practices online. With this knowledge, they indirectly join the cybersecurity team.

Don’t wait until a breach happens. Secure your business today.
Managed cybersecurity refers to the process in which a third-party provider handles a company’s security operations for them. Instead of building an in-house team, you outsource tasks like threat monitoring, incident response, vulnerability management, and compliance reporting. Essentially, everything an in-house IT team would do.
Generally, when someone asks about the three types of cybersecurity, they’re referring to Network, Application, and information security.
An MSP (Managed Service Provider) provides a broad range of services, covering typically all IT needs of an organization, including things like cloud management, data backups, and help desk support. An MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider), on the other hand, tends to specialize in the security side of things, offering services like monitoring threats, handling compliance, and responding to cyber incidents. In short, MSPs manage IT, while MSSPs focus solely on protecting it.
