Small Business Cybersecurity Requirements

[trevorc]

Hello all,

I don't know if my question is "Off Topic", but it was the only selection that I could
see fitting.

Scenario:  A small company is comprised of 3 persons.  There are 3 computers,
and a non-commercial router in the company.  There are no other compute devices.

The majority of the use on each staff person's computer is for emailing and using 
that all-important web browser.  Oh yes, data is saved on the local drives of the computers,
as well as on external/portable storage media.  They have nothing in the cloud!!!  It's
a bare-bones operation, in terms of IT.

My question:  What would this company approach Check Point for regarding cybersecurity
resources?  Do you see such a small operation needing anything to provide a secure 
environment, beyond what the operating system provides indigenously?   Does Check Point
even provide anything that they could use to enhance their cybersecurity posture?

If my question is too vague, I'll be happy to tack on some additional info.  The purpose of 
my question is to get more of a feel for Check Point products and solution offeringd.  I'm
still at the kindergarten level in my education!!!

Many thanks in advance for your response!!!

3 computers? Hm, I could see maybe one of SMB appliances handy in such environment, since you can manage it locally and it does good job at url filtering and app control.

Hello Andy,

Thank you for your response.  When you say "SMB appliance", are you referring to a Check Point
item?  If so, which one?

I tried to warn you in my previous post that I'm at the kindergarten level in the Check Point world!

If the link does not show you the result, just search for SMB and you can see it all there.

To be honest, I would ask the company to buy a (for eg.) Synology NAS with 2 bays 🙂 only for the safety of data.

Do the endpoints have some kind of endpoint protection? The smallest Harmony bundle is 3 or 5 devices, so think about it.
