Advanced Endpoint Protection
Basic antivirus can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving cyber threats and zero-day attacks. Modern, AI driven endpoint protection uses behavioural analysis and machine learning to detect and stop threats in real time before damage is done.

Cyber Awareness Training
Your team are your first line of defence, and regular cyber awareness training gives them the tools to recognise and stop threats before damage is done. A well trained team can dramatically reduce the risk of a successful cyber attack.

Multifactor Authentication
MFA is no longer a “nice to have”, it’s the most basic requirement for protecting accounts against credential theft and unauthorised access. Without it, a single compromised password can lead to a full business breach.

Cyber Alert!

Over the past two weeks, we have seen a noticeable increase in targeted phishing attacks aimed at individuals, with the potential to lead to invoice fraud and other cybercrime. This increase is being influenced by current geopolitical tensions, along with the growing use of AI by threat actors. As these tactics continue to evolve, a multi faceted approach to security awareness remains important.

Geo-Blocking & Access Control
Most cyber attacks originate from overseas, so restricting Microsoft 365 logins to Australia can significantly reduce risk (with exceptions for approved travel). Disabling web-based access and enforcing location-based policies adds another strong security layer. While some features may require licensing upgrades, those upgrades also unlock valuable productivity and security benefits.

Advanced Email Filtering
Microsoft’s basic email filtering alone is no longer enough to stop modern phishing, impersonation, and malware threats. Advanced email security adds critical layers of protection to keep dangerous emails out of user inboxes.

If you would like a no obligation review of year business’ cyber posture, please send us an email.

T4B Bendigo! How are we doing?

We are now 11 weeks into our journey with Leading Edge Bendigo clients and are working hard to meet as many of you as possible. Our focus is on learning about your businesses and ensuring all system documentation is up to date, as George has finished up with us on Friday, April 10th.

If you have any positive or constructive feedback on how things are going for you during this transition period we would love to hear from you. You can use this form Which will go directly to Damian (CEO) and Tim (Bendigo Account Manager).

Price Increases for Microsoft 365

We want to make you aware that Microsoft 365 licensing costs are increasing across Australia, affecting most Microsoft 365 products effective from July 1st 2026. We expect most products to increase between 5% and 12%.

As always, we’re actively working with our suppliers to secure the best possible pricing and continue delivering excellent value for our clients.

License Review

If you would like a review of your current Microsoft 365 licensing to ensure your business on the most cost-effective and appropriate plan, please reach out to our team.

Welcome to T4B, Vinh!

We are excited to introduce Vinh Nguyen as a new addition to the T4B Service Team!

Vinh joined us earlier this month and has already made a great impression with his friendly attitude and positive energy. He’s been a lively addition to the team and is fitting right in.

Outside of work, Vinh enjoys staying active and can often be found on the badminton court sharpening his skills. Please join us in giving Vinh a warm welcome!
