Cyber Security
Enterprise-grade protection built for Australian small and mid-sized businesses. AI-driven email security, 24/7 EDR, and Essential Eight alignment — all in one managed service.
Seven Pillars
Enterprise-level protection against phishing, malware, and account takeover. Advanced AI analyses every email's content, links, and intent — malicious messages are auto-removed from all staff mailboxes and every link is rewritten for click-time protection.
A powerful EDR platform backed by 24/7 human threat hunters. Persistent footholds, ransomware canaries, and managed response — not just alerts you have to triage yourself.
Web content filtering at the DNS layer blocks ransomware, phishing, and botnet traffic before the connection is even made. Roaming clients mean protection follows the device — office, home, or public Wi-Fi.
Windows, macOS, and server patching, plus third-party application updates. Includes patch automation, reboot management, and full reporting so you can prove compliance.
Prevent unauthorised or risky applications from running on protected endpoints. Aligns with Essential Eight Application Control requirements at Maturity Level 1+.
Continuous scanning across hardware, software, networks, and internet-facing systems. Expert-curated results reduce false positives — you get actionable remediation lists, not noise.
Full protection for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data. Recover from accidental deletion, ransomware, or malicious insider activity without depending on Microsoft's limited retention.
Why It Matters
Cyber threats like ransomware, phishing, and data breaches evolve constantly and target businesses of every size. Without the right controls, these threats cause downtime, data loss, financial harm, and reputation damage that can take years to recover.
Black Lantern offers tailored solutions that protect sensitive data and systems from attack, ensure alignment with Australian cyber security standards (including the ACSC's Essential Eight), and enable business continuity with advanced backup and recovery.
Our approach is proactive, not reactive. We prevent threats — we don't wait for something to break before responding.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Our managed cyber security service covers the full stack: 24/7 AI-driven email security, endpoint detection and response (EDR), DNS protection, automated patch management, application control, vulnerability management, Microsoft 365 backups, and alignment with the Australian Cyber Security Centre's Essential Eight. It's a complete security operation, not a piece of software.
Yes — arguably more than large enterprises. Cybercriminals actively target SMEs because they're seen as easier breaches. Our SME-tailored approach delivers enterprise-grade controls at SME pricing, sized to your actual risk profile and budget.
The Essential Eight is the ACSC's baseline set of cyber security strategies designed to prevent the most common cyber threats. It covers application control, MFA, patching, backups, and more. Alignment is increasingly a requirement for government tenders, cyber insurance, and enterprise contracts.
Microsoft's built-in filtering is signature-based — a threat has to be seen and catalogued first. Our AI-driven layer analyses content, context, and language patterns in real time to catch novel phishing and business email compromise attempts. Malicious emails are auto-removed from staff mailboxes and every link is rewritten for click-time protection.
Our layered stack is built to prevent it — but if it happens, EDR isolates the affected endpoints within seconds, managed backups let us restore from clean copies, and our 24/7 threat response team runs the containment. No ransom, no downtime beyond the recovery window.
It filters web traffic at the DNS layer — before your browser or app even makes the connection. Malicious sites, phishing pages, and command-and-control traffic are blocked at the lookup stage. Works everywhere your device goes: office, home, coffee shop, no VPN required.
Windows, macOS, servers, and common third-party apps are patched automatically on a defined schedule — typically weekly for endpoints, monthly for servers with change windows, and rapidly for zero-days. Full patch reports available in your monthly review.
No. Same as our IT support — month-to-month, cancel anytime, no penalty. If we're not preventing incidents, our contract shouldn't hold you back from finding someone who will.
