Online transactions have significantly replaced the cash payments, activities like shopping at malls and paying online have become routine. Every app we use requires personal data, but few businesses experience severe consequences if this information is leaked or compromised. For SMEs, this can result in significant financial and reputational damage.
With a vision to meet these needs, Curl the founder of SECUREU brought his expertise to develop new reasonably priced and user-friendly security solutions to address the needs of small businesses.
SECUREU, founded in May 2022, addresses these cybersecurity challenges faced by SMEs. While large enterprises can afford expensive, high-end security solutions, SMEs often struggle to find affordable yet effective protection for their data and systems.
SECUREU is bridging this gap by offering cost-effectivecybersecurity services to meet the specific needs of SMEs, ensuring their business operations remain secure without breaking the bank.
NEBULA by SECUREU
NEBULA is an integrated solution for all cybersecurity threats that are more suited to SME business entities. Endpoint protection, mobile device management, antivirus, and network security are in one convenient package. Unlike many software solutions that were developed to protect a particular aspect of an enterprise, NEBULA is designed to prevent any external or internal threats interfering with business, while at the same time not restricting the employees’ activities in any way.
Mission and Vision
Its objectives are to provide protection to business organisations against hacking, data losses, and other related threats on the use of the internet with a goal to bring affordable and high-quality cybersecurity to any company, regardless of size.
Flexible Security Solutions
SECUREU has introduced a subscription model “Virtual Security Team” that allows them to provide companies with the following security services to establish a working relationship with them and give them peace of mind enabling you to reach out to us in an emergency:
1. Developer Security Meetings
2. Security Awareness Training
3. Security Incident Response (Remote)
4. Automated Security Scanning
These services are available starting from just ₹4,999 per month, offering them affordable protection.
They also provide advanced services like Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing, Data Loss Prevention, Secure DevOps, & Secure Architecture Design to their clients and onboard them for 6-12 months at a time. This allows them to get familiar with their clients’ operations. Thus, allowing them to respond swiftly, without any delays during a cyberattack when every passing second can be extremely crucial for the company and avoid being further harmed.
From Challenges to Achievements
Like any start up, SECUREU has had risen and setbacks. Changing from a service company to creating the NEBULA product was not easy. This meant that the team had to learn fast. They encountered new challenges, starting with market requirements and ending with changes in technologies.
One of the biggest obstacles arose when the founder of the company came across a mishap where he broke his ankle bone and was hospitalised for a week. The employees came together to completely manage SECUREU’s day to day operations. Also, there are several employees that have stayed with SECUREU for over several years, which goes to show the brilliant management and culture at SECUREU.
Future Vision
Now, with subsequent product updates, SECUREU has more clients and begins to expand its presence. The future is looking even brighter as they further develop NEBULA, expand their business model, and offer the best security to small and midsize firms.
