# Facebook — Windows Defender Isn't Enough

"We already have Windows Defender" is the most common cybersecurity strategy I hear from small businesses.

For a home laptop browsing the web, Defender is fine. For a business handling client data, payroll, or anything a regulator cares about, it leaves real gaps. It doesn't watch your email for phishing, can't see when someone logs into your M365 from another country, and doesn't run on phones, printers, or anything outside Windows.

Modern attacks don't look like a virus — they look like a normal login from a stolen password.

Typical SMB ransomware incident in 2026: $50K-$200K. Managed security: $30-$80 per user, per month. Worth doing the math.

"We've been meaning to go paperless for years."

We hear this from medical practices all the time. The biggest barrier isn't cost — it's not knowing where to start.

We broke it into 5 phases:

1. Assessment — map your paper processes
2. Choose tools — scanners, cloud storage, EHR integration
3. Digitize — scanning workflow and naming conventions
4. Go live — parallel running period with training
5. Optimize — automate forms, e-signatures, patient intake
