Antivirus checks files. It doesn't check where you click.
Most attacks today arrive as a convincing link or login page, not a virus file. Nothing gets downloaded, so nothing gets flagged. The attacker simply walks in with a password.

Real Cybersecurity Protection for Small Businesses
24/7 threat monitoring, automatic patching, and web protection, priced for businesses like yours, not enterprise budgets.
The gap
Why you need more than antivirus
Antivirus was built for a different era. Here's what it misses today.
One infected laptop can take down your whole network
Once an attacker is on a single device, they quietly move to the others. Real protection means spotting that movement early and cutting the device off before it spreads.
If something gets through, can you recover?
Files locked or deleted are gone unless you have clean, tested backups. Without them, a bad afternoon becomes weeks of rebuilding your business from scratch.
The payoff
How this protects your business
Plain language, no jargon: here's what actually changes day to day.
Before
An employee clicks a bad link, or a device falls behind on updates, and you have no idea until something breaks.
- Days of downtime while you scramble for help
- Lost files, lost orders, lost customer trust
- A very expensive week you never budgeted for
With IronByte
Threats are detected and stopped in real time, devices patch themselves automatically, and dangerous sites are blocked before they ever load.
- Problems get caught before they become downtime
- Your data stays where it belongs
- Predictable monthly cost instead of emergency bills
You don't need to understand the technology. You just need to know someone's watching.

What happens if something gets through
No hidden catches. Here's exactly where your plan ends and hands-on work begins.
Included in your plan
We stop the threat immediately: the device is isolated, the attack is shut down, and you get a clear explanation of what happened.
Billed separately
If deeper cleanup is ever needed, such as reimaging a device, restoring data, or a full investigation, it is billed hourly so your monthly cost stays low and predictable.

Common questions about IT support and small business security
Straight answers to what business owners ask us most.
What is an MSSP, and what is MSSP-Lite?
An MSSP is a managed security service provider: a company that watches over your computers and stops attacks for you. MSSP-Lite is our small business version. You get 24/7 threat monitoring, automatic updates, and malicious site blocking for $25 per device each month, without the enterprise price tag or a long-term contract.
Do you provide IT support and tech support for small businesses?
Yes. IronByte Solutions handles the security and maintenance side of IT for small businesses: monitoring every computer, keeping software patched, blocking dangerous websites, backing up data, and cleaning up devices when something goes wrong. You talk to us directly, not a call center.
How much does cybersecurity for a small business cost?
Core protection is $25 per device per month. Optional add-ons are Data Backup at $5.50 per device (plus $11 per TB of storage), Email Scanning at $7.50 per user, ITDR at $6.50 per user, or both together for $12 per user. You can build an exact monthly quote with our pricing calculator.
Isn't the antivirus that came with our computers enough?
No. Built-in antivirus only catches known files. Most break-ins today use stolen passwords, phishing emails, and unpatched software, which antivirus never sees. We add continuous monitoring by real people, automatic patching, and site blocking so the gaps are covered.
Which businesses do you work with, and where?
We are based in Southern California and serve small businesses everywhere. Typical clients are offices, clinics, contractors, and nonprofits with roughly 3 to 100 computers and no in-house IT team.
How do we get started?
Build a plan with the pricing calculator on this page, then send it to us, or email info@ironbytesolutions.com or call 619.289.8373. Setup usually takes a day or less, and there is no long-term contract.
