Cybersecurity for Startups: Scalable Protection for Fast-Moving Teams
Startups move fast. That speed is your strength — but it can also leave you naked. Amidst tight timelines, few resources to spare, and incessant product launches, cybersecurity is often relegated to the bottom of the list. Until a data breach, a phishing scam, or a compliance concern brings everything to a screeching halt.
At Sentant, we enable startups to secure their technology and future. We grow as you do — offering enterprise-level protection at startup-friendly costs and speeds.
Why Startups Need Cybersecurity Early
Cyber criminals will target companies, big or small. Start-ups are particularly attractive since they generally don’t have the same defenses in place as larger companies. One little hole can drip out sensitive information, jeopardize operations, or frighten off investors.
And it can help you stay ahead of those threats. From your initial cloud deployment to your first round of funding – we’ll ensure your digital footprint, data, and reputation are secure. No, security is not a luxury — it’s your competitive edge.
