Message from theFounder & CTO

In my 20+ years in this industry, I have sometimes seen the good and the bad, but often, the overly complicated. Vendors frequently promise magical solutions yet fail to deliver lasting value. I founded BARE Cybersecurity, believing that sustained success comes from returning to basics. This is the essence of BARE Cybersecurity.

Are Any of These Assumptions Leaving Your Business Vulnerable?

Believing you’re too small to be a target

Hackers often see SMEs as easier targets due to weaker security. This makes your data more vulnerable, regardless of your company's size.

Believing cybersecurity services are too expensive

Many small businesses think security consulting is costly. Our expert team offers flexible, affordable packages that strengthen your defenses without breaking the bank—an investment in peace of mind.

Thinking cyber hygiene is just a fancy word

Simple practices like regular software updates and strong passwords are often overlooked, making it easier for cybercriminals to exploit weak spots.

Seeing cybersecurity as just a technology issue

Effective cybersecurity also involves human factors like employee training, policies, and vigilance.

Making cybersecurity not a priority

Cyber threats are real and increasingly targeting SMEs, which often lack robust defenses. Ignoring cybersecurity can lead to severe financial and reputational damage.

Underestimating cyber threats

Cybercriminals know that smaller businesses often lack advanced defenses, making them attractive targets

"At the core of this project was Paolo's ability to establish relationships and connections with the CerQlar team, which I believe are key to its success."
