Introducing 909Protect — Cyber Defense Made Affordable for SMBs

Small and mid-sized businesses are under siege. According to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR):

  • Ransomware was present in 44 % of all breaches — and it’s disproportionately hitting SMBs, showing up in 88 % of breaches targeting those organizations. (Infosecurity Magazine)
  • Third-party and supply-chain risk doubled year over year — 30 % of breaches involve a third party in some capacity. (dmarcian)
  • Vulnerability exploitation (e.g. unpatched systems) is now the initial access vector in 20 % of breaches — up sharply from the prior year. (Qualys)
  • Nearly 60 % of breaches involve the human element — from phishing, misconfiguration, credential misuse, etc. (Mimecast)

In short: the odds are stacked against smaller organizations. Attackers don’t always aim for the biggest target — they go for the easier one.

Why passive defenses aren’t enough — you need active 24/7/365 monitoring

You can patch, you can train your employees, you can engineer controls — and those are all necessary — but they’re not sufficient by themselves. Threat actors are automated, opportunistic, and continuously probing. That’s why you need always-on visibility to detect, respond, and contain before an incident becomes a catastrophe.

Think of it like home security: having locks, cameras, and alarms is smart — but you still need someone to watch those surveillance feeds, raise alerts, and respond in real time.

Without continuous monitoring:

  • Attack activity can go unnoticed for days, weeks or more (giving attackers time to move laterally)
  • You risk blind spots — particularly on endpoints, remote devices, or 3rd-party access
  • Your response becomes reactive instead of proactive

For SMBs, the challenge is often resources: security operations centers (SOCs) and 24/7 teams are expensive. That’s where 909Protect steps in.

Why 909Protect is the ideal, cost-effective choice

909Protect is designed from the ground up for SMBs:

  • Always-on monitoring (24/7/365): continuous detection and alerting on suspicious activity
  • Endpoint coverage: devices are monitored around the clock
  • Threat detection, investigation, and triage: so you don’t have to rely solely on manual log reviews
  • Cost transparency: just $35 per device per month — no surprise fees or hidden costs

At $35/device/month, 909Protect gives you enterprise-grade monitoring at a scale and price point built for small and mid-sized organizations.

From the CEO, Den Jones

“Every business deserves robust cyber protection — not just the ones with giant budgets. At 909Cyber, we built 909Protect so that no organization has to choose between security and affordability. With continuous 24/7 monitoring wrapped around your endpoints, 909Protect gives you real peace of mind — and visibility you can act on.”
Den Jones, CEO, 909Cyber

Let’s turn the tables on cybercriminals

Don’t wait until your business becomes a statistic. In a landscape where 44 % of breaches involve ransomware and SMBs are attacked relentlessly, you need more than reactive defenses — you need ever-present vigilance.

909Protect gives you that — for $35/device/month.
