bbCloud : simplified security for your business

Rather than juggle several security solutions, switch to broadbandbuyer’s hassle-free cybersecurity-as-a-service

Ransomware. Data breaches. Phishing campaigns. Cyberattacks on small businesses came thick and fast in 2023, with 32% of UK businesses facing cyber breaches or attacks. Even worse, SMBs are now subject to enterprise-grade attacks of ever-increasing sophistication. If staying safe seems like a constant firefighting battle, broadbandbuyer has the solution: bbCloud.

Put simply, bbCloud delivers cybersecurityas-a-service. Created by broadbandbuyer, it integrates with WatchGuard’s cloud platform and latest appliances, customised to meet your unique security needs. The emphasis is on best configuration security practices, meticulously pre-configuring devices to align with your requirements.

Once deployed, bbCloud actively monitors your network with built-in threat detection, along with fine-tuning network configurations to maintain an optimal security posture. You’ll also benefit from advanced reporting tools and dashboards, so you can stay ahead of threats and make informed decisions. It’s a hassle-free solution that’s perfect for those seeking robust network security without the high costs.

■ Choose your level

With bbCloud, the sweet spot is CaaS, where you get the appliance with the Cybersecurity service included. Alternatively, HaaS enables you to simply rent the hardware. It’s worth noting that CaaS can be set up in line with your company’s expertise, having your in-house IT teams making their own changes, or getting total peace of mind with broadbandbuyer taking complete control for you.

■ Flexible payments

You can choose a 12-month subscription, payable annually or in monthly instalments.

The service comes bundled with either WatchGuard Basic Security or Total Security, with options to add on EPDR and AuthPoint Total Identity Security. This combines multi-factor authentication with dark web monitoring and a corporate password manager.

Broadbandbuyer’s registered trade customers will benefit from discounts up to 50% off the standard pricing of £119 per month, which includes a preconfigured WatchGuard firewall.

■ Easy steps

As part of the bbCloud service, broadbandbuyer will pre-configure and dispatch WatchGuard appliances. When they arrive, it’s a simple plug-and-play setup. Need more fine-tuning? No problem: simply consult with the WatchGuard certified engineers to tailor the units to your specific security and networking needs.

■ Scalability

During your subscription term you’ll be able to upgrade your firebox to the latest model, or even move down the scale if you wish, so your tabletop appliance is never below the spec you need, nor overkill.

■ AI-refined attacks

Inevitably, the rise of AI-powered tools will fall into the wrong hands, with cybercriminals using them to make their attacks ever more sophisticated. So it’s a wise move to let broadbandbuyer’s experts become your experts. They stay vigilant, constantly analysing alerts and monitoring trends to keep your network secure.

Their capabilities include interpreting intricate dashboards and generating insightful reports, which can be pivotal in identifying staff training needs and preventing security breaches through user awareness.

To simplify security for your business, put the strength of your network in the hands of the well-informed staff at bbCloud.
