🎣
Phishing & Email Compromise

94% of attacks start here. Most Perth inboxes run on default settings that don't stop targeted phishing.

🔒
Ransomware

Avg. $46,000 impact for a Perth SMB. Encrypts your files — without backup, recovery can be impossible.

🔑
Credential Theft

Without MFA, one stolen password gives an attacker full access to your Microsoft 365 environment.

📱
Unmanaged Devices

68% of Perth SMBs have personal devices accessing business data with zero controls or visibility.

📧
Business Email Compromise

Attackers impersonate trusted contacts to redirect payments. Australian losses exceed $84M annually.

💾
Data Breaches

Sensitive data exposed through SharePoint misconfiguration, over-sharing or compromised accounts.

👤
Insider Threats

82% of incidents involve human error — staff actions are behind most data exposures.

🌐
DNS-Based Attacks

Malicious domains that bypass spam filters — one click is all it takes.

The Full Protection Stack

Everything Perth Businesses Need — In Plain Language

Beyond the basics, COREWEST covers every layer of cyber security that Perth businesses are increasingly required to have — by insurers, by regulators and by common sense.

🌐

Dark Web Monitoring

Your staff credentials may already be compromised and circulating on dark web markets. Continuous monitoring alerts you the moment your business data appears.

👤

Security Awareness Training

Simulated phishing attacks and regular training so your staff become your strongest defence — not your biggest vulnerability.

🔐

Password Management

Business-grade password manager deployed across your team — eliminating weak, reused passwords that are behind most credential attacks.

⚖️

Compliance & Privacy Act

Australian Privacy Principles, cyber insurance requirements and alignment. We implement and document the controls your insurer and clients expect.

💻

Application Control

Controlling which software can run on your business devices — preventing unapproved or malicious applications from executing in the first place.

🔎

Penetration Testing

For businesses that need to demonstrate security assurance to clients or regulators — simulated attacks that identify real weaknesses before attackers do.

✅

COREWEST implements controls aligned with the AISA cyber security standard — the emerging benchmark for Australian small business cyber security. Increasingly required for government contracts, professional services and cyber insurance renewals.
