Cybersecurity threats may be global, but the impact is always local. Massachusetts-based businesses are not immune to this growing international issue; in fact, some businesses/institutions are sought-after targets. From phishing schemes that mimic local law firms to ransomware campaigns targeting healthcare providers, Boston-area organizations face constant digital pressure.
At M&H Consulting, our cybersecurity solutions combine national-level expertise with local awareness, ensuring clients are protected where it matters most.
Local Threats and Real Consequences
Boston businesses aren’t immune to targeted attacks. We’ve seen phishing scams tied to high-profile events like the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013 and impersonation attempts against law and medical offices. Over the past year, several of our clients were hit by the same hacking group, but because M&H had implemented strict backup and disaster recovery protocols, they avoided permanent data loss.
When SonicWall, a major VPN provider, was compromised through a firmware vulnerability, M&H was on the case immediately. We worked around the clock to patch affected systems and communicate with every client using that hardware. Thanks to the quick work of our IT support team, there were no successful breaches across our network. Our strong vendor relationships and constant monitoring let us act faster than the threat itself.
Cybersecurity Solutions in Boston
Cybersecurity isn’t a one-time setup; it’s an ongoing and constantly evolving process. That’s why we maintain constant communication with our clients through our services. We can embed our specialists into local teams to audit and strengthen defenses. We also partner with platforms like Mimecast for email filtering and real-time threat detection.
Technology alone can’t protect a company; people play an essential role. M&H trains client teams on phishing awareness, password hygiene, and best practices for multi-factor authentication. By teaching/equipping staff to recognize red flags, employees can be a helpful first line of defense. And of course, we’re there to implement and execute cybersecurity measures —from preventive measures to disaster recovery; we’re never leaving our clients out in the storm, exposed to threats.
Cybersecurity may be a global conversation, but the best defense starts right here in Massachusetts!
Whether you’re in Boston, Worcester, or the South Shore, M&H provides cybersecurity solutions tailored to your environment and ready to defend against threats when they arise.
