Protect what your business depends on

Cyber security is no longer about buying tools or ticking compliance boxes. It is about continuously protecting the systems, data, and people your business relies on every day.

At Murdoch Webster, we deliver practical cyber security services that reduce risk, strengthen resilience, and support compliance without adding unnecessary complexity. We focus on implementing and managing the controls that actually protect your environment, not just reporting on them.

Our Protect services are delivered as managed services, supported by expert advisory and project capabilities. This means your security posture is actively monitored, maintained, and improved over time, not left to drift between reviews.

Whether you are strengthening your security baseline, responding to regulatory or insurance pressure, or protecting a complex multi-site environment, we tailor our approach to your risk profile and business priorities.

 

Managed Cybersecurity Services

Always-on security services designed to protect users, identities, and endpoints from modern threats.

Managed Endpoint Detection and Response

Advanced endpoint protection that actively detects, contains, and responds to threats across laptops, desktops, and servers. Designed to stop ransomware, malware, and user-driven attacks before they spread.

Human Risk Management

Ongoing security awareness training and phishing simulations that reduce human-related cyber risk and build a stronger security culture across your organisation.
