How We Cut the Cost of Enterprise-Grade Cyber Security by Up to 97%
Not by cutting corners. By rethinking who does the work, and how it's priced.
The SMB security gap, in numbers
Small businesses reported an average cybercrime cost of $56,600 per report in FY2024–25, according to the Australian Signals Directorate a cost that can be existential for a business with no dedicated security budget. Meanwhile, a typical Australian SMB spends a fraction of what an enterprise security team costs to build and run in-house often under $10,000 a year, against the $150,000+ cost of even a single mid-level in-house security hire, before tooling. That gap is the entire reason MicroCyber exists.
Reason 1 An offshore delivery team
Our Security Operations Centre is based in Tirana, Albania part of the MicroAI venture studio that also built MicroCyber. The team is the same calibre of SOC analyst, threat hunter, security engineer and incident responder an Australian enterprise would hire directly. The difference is cost of living and labour cost, not skill or coverage. That's the single largest lever in how we hold our pricing where we do.
Reason 2 Because the SMB landscape is different
A 12-person clinic and a 3-truck logistics company don't face the same threat model as a bank, and they don't need or benefit from the same enterprise tool stack. We run the specific controls that actually stop the attacks hitting small businesses today: phishing and credential theft, unpatched and unmonitored endpoints, and gaps that only show up outside business hours. That focus keeps our delivery lean without leaving real gaps open.
Reason 3 No in-house team required
There's no recruitment cost, no single point of failure when your one IT person is on leave or leaves the business, and no ramp-up time. You get a full team SOC analysts, threat hunters, incident responders from day one.
Reason 4 A predictable monthly subscription
No surprise incident-response invoices. No per-project quoting that balloons once work starts. You know exactly what cyber security costs your business every single month, which makes it something you can actually budget for often for the first time.
