Get a Free ConsultationEvery year, individuals and businesses experience data loss, account takeovers, or device compromise due to common issues like weak passwords, unsafe Wi-Fi, phishing messages, or missing protections.
Most cybersecurity incidents don’t rely on advanced hacking techniques. In fact, over 80% of data breaches involve compromised credentials, weak access controls, or basic security misconfigurations, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR).
These risks affect everyday users and organizations alike and often occur without warning.
Gharbiah Cyber Defense helps individuals and businesses reduce these risks through practical cybersecurity services designed to prevent problems before they happen.
Identify weak passwords, unsafe Wi-Fi settings, outdated software,
and data protection gaps with a clear, easy-to-read report.
This helps you understand what is already secure, what needs attention,
and what improvements are recommended before problems occur.
Strengthen Wi-Fi, configure safer logins (MFA), encrypt devices,
and set up reliable backups.
The goal is to reduce the chances of unauthorized access caused by
common setup mistakes or stolen passwords.
Authorized scans that safely check your systems for exposed services,
weak configurations, and common security issues visible from the internet.

This focuses on preparation and recovery to minimize downtime
and data loss.
