In 2019, you need more than anti-virus to protect your computer. We believe you need a "Stack" of layers.
Our Security Stack moves our customers towards compliance with the "Essential Eight" - a list of the 8 most effective strategies to mitigate cyber security incidents as defined by the Australian Cyber Security Centre.

* Note that this Security Stack is provided to attempt to prevent any infection of malware / ransomware / virus. In the case of infection, automated tools will attempt to contain and remedy the infection. If these tools cannot solve the issue, manual remediation of infection, due to unpredictable scope and effect, is out of the scope of this agreement.
