CASL-COMPLIANT · CANADIAN-OWNED · SOC MONITORED
Small business is the soft target
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and most have no one watching. Attackers automate — they don't care how big you are, only how exposed. The ones hit hardest assumed they were too small to notice.
Downtime is the real cost
The ransom is rarely the worst part. Days offline, lost client trust, scrambled payroll, and a recovery bill that dwarfs prevention — that's what an unmanaged breach actually costs.
What we protect — every layer
24/7 Managed Detection & Response
A human security team monitoring your network around the clock. Every alert reviewed by a person — not left for you to find Monday morning.
Endpoint Protection (EDR)
Best-in-class EDR on every laptop, desktop, and server. Real protection that stops ransomware — not the free antivirus that ships turned off.
Email & Phishing Defense
Breaches start in the inbox. We scan, sandbox, and quarantine threats before they reach your people.
Network Hardening & Firewall
Next-gen firewall, VLAN segmentation, and intrusion monitoring — so a compromised device can't reach everything else.
Backup & Ransomware Recovery
Tested, immutable backups and a documented recovery runbook. If the worst happens, you're back online in hours, not weeks.
Security Awareness Training
Your team is the front line. Ongoing training and simulated phishing turn your weakest link into your first line of defense.

Three tiers. Named vendors. A price you can actually read.

Cybersecurity questions, answered
What is managed cybersecurity for a small business?+
Managed cybersecurity is an outsourced service where a provider like Skyview Electronics monitors, detects, and responds to threats around the clock. For Durham Region small businesses it bundles EDR, MDR, Microsoft 365 security, and ransomware protection into one fixed monthly fee, removing the need for an in-house security team.
What is the difference between EDR and MDR?+
EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) is the software on each device that detects malicious activity. MDR (Managed Detection & Response) adds a human security team that monitors those alerts 24/7 and responds for you. Skyview provides both EDR tooling and MDR monitoring for businesses in Whitby, Oshawa, and Toronto.
How much does managed cybersecurity cost in Durham Region?+
Most Durham Region small businesses pay a per-seat monthly fee that scales with users and devices.

Yes. Skyview Electronics is an ESET reseller serving Ontario, including Whitby, Oshawa, the wider Durham Region, and Toronto. We deploy, configure, and manage ESET endpoint protection as part of our managed cybersecurity service, so licensing, monitoring, and support come from one local provider.
How does Skyview protect my business from ransomware?+
Skyview layers ransomware protection: EDR on every endpoint, 24/7 MDR monitoring, hardened Microsoft 365 with MFA and conditional access, email phishing defense, and tested immutable backups. If an attack occurs, our local Durham Region team isolates affected systems and restores from backup to minimize downtime.
Do you secure Microsoft 365 for Whitby businesses?+

Do you provide on-site cybersecurity support in Oshawa and Toronto?+
Yes. Skyview Electronics provides both remote and on-site cybersecurity support across Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, and Toronto (GTA East). Being local means faster incident response and in-person help when remote remediation isn't enough.
How quickly can you onboard our cybersecurity?+
