Cheap Cybersecurity

Could Be the Most Expensive Mistake You Ever Make

Schedule Discovery Call

If the only question you're asking is
“How cheap can you do it?”
you could be putting yourself at risk.

 

The Cost of Cheap Cybersecurity

Most “budget” MSSPs rely on the simplest formula in the book: Deliver the bare minimum, price it to sell, and hope nothing catastrophic happens. If you’ve seen their offerings, you know the list. Antivirus, firewalls, backup services, monitoring, etc.

It looks impressive—until you discover what’s missing between the lines.


Here’s the hard truth:
Service packages that look the same at face value… often aren't. Once you dig deeper into what exactly is being offered, the hidden differences and exclusions start to reveal themselves. And those differences are what can leave you in the lurch when problems arise.

More often than not, low-cost MSSPs:

  • Use outdated or entry-level tools
  • Rely on disconnected systems and manual processes
  • Understaff or undertrain their security teams
  • React to issues instead of preventing them
  • Sell a break‑fix mindset wrapped in a monthly subscription

The Result?

Downtime, compliance failures, skyrocketing cyber insurance costs — and in many cases, security breaches that could’ve been prevented.

Lower cost today = much higher cost tomorrow.

 

Cybersecurity Isn’t a Product—It’s an Experience

High-performing organizations eventually realize that cybersecurity isn’t just a line item. It’s an experience that shows up in the moments that matter most:

  • During audits
  • During incidents
  • During growth
  • During disruption

And the quality of that experience depends entirely on the standards of the provider responsible for creating it. Mature businesses don’t choose based on price alone.

They choose based on clarity, preparation, and accountability.

How Aurora InfoTech Invests in You

At Aurora InfoTech, we believe our responsibility goes beyond selling services.
It includes educating, setting clear expectations, and designing protection that actually performs under pressure.

We don’t believe in racing to the lowest price.
We believe in building resilient environments, transparent relationships, and experiences that earn trust over time.

If you’re looking for a partner who values education, preparation, and long-term outcomes—not just attractive pricing—we’d welcome the conversation.

Because in cybersecurity, what you don’t know can cost far more than what you’re quoted.

Where we do compete is on protection, performance, and long‑term vision. While low‑cost providers minimize expenses, we maximize the security and reliability of your environment. 

We Invest Where Others Cut Corners

While low‑cost MSSPs minimize their expenses, we maximize your protection:

  • Enterprise‑grade Cybersecurity stack
  • Continuous technology upgrades
  • Network investments for speed & reliability
  • Automation-first operations that eliminate the human-error risks cheap MSSPs introduce
For you, this means:

Less paperwork.
Faster responses.
Better visibility.

Single Pane of Glass Operations

Most MSSPs juggle:

  • Spreadsheets
  • Tools that don’t talk to each other
  • Email trails
  • Manual reporting

Aurora InfoTech uses a comprehensive integrated platform:

  • Centralized security monitoring
  • Unified reporting
  • Automated workflows
  • Real‑time visibility into risk, compliance, and performance

It isn’t just “easier” either. It’s a fundamentally more secure and reliable approach to managing your entire environment.

 

25+ Years Experience - Critical Infrastructure - Proven Results

We’re not new.  We’re not guessing. And we’re not learning on your network.

With over 25 years of experience securing critical infrastructure, investing in best-in-class Cybersecurity, and building future-ready environments,
Aurora InfoTech helps businesses grow their bottom line—not just fix things when they break.

For Our Team:Roy Richardson - Live Speaking

  • Downtime is unacceptable
  • Compliance isn’t optional
  • Every minute impacts revenue
  • Security must be layered and proactive

We don’t simply “manage IT.”

We build secure, scalable environments designed for growth.

 

Vision Beyond Break-Fix

Most low‑cost MSSPs operate with a simple, outdated mindset:

“We’ll fix it when it breaks.”

It’s reactive, it’s short‑sighted, and ultimately, it keeps your business stuck solving yesterday’s problems instead of preventing tomorrow’s.
Cheap providers treat Cybersecurity like a utility that can be bought and forgotten, rather than the engine for growth that it can be for your business.

 

Aurora InfoTech Delivers Something Very Different:

A roadmap designed to make your business stronger year after year.

We don’t wait for things to fail. We plan, engineer, and optimize to avoid failure in the first place—giving you and your business the breathing room needed to grow with confidence.

Resolved Account Hack When Others Failed!!

"I came to Aurora InfoTech after I'd been unsuccessful multiple times trying to gain access to my G-Suite. My email account was hijacked after receiving an email from a client whose account was compromised. Up to that point, Google had been of little help, and since my email accounts were disabled and locked down, I was locked out of everything, including a good portion of correspondence for my business. This was going on for nearly three weeks having myself, my technician and my web person attempt unsuccessfully to restore my accounts.

Roy Richardson at Aurora InfoTech was able to provide direction and support I needed to fully recover my account. After everything, I was up within a matter of 24 hours. "

New Phone System Delivered

"We have developed a great partnership with Aurora Infotech over the past several months. Their team has worked tirelessly to help us transition to a new phone system. Roy was an exceptional part of this experience; whenever I needed anything, I knew I could count on him.  Having little personal experience with telecommunications, Roy did an excellent job explaining the industry to me. Roy went above and beyond with helping this transition be as seamless as possible. 

Working with Aurora Infotech, I did not feel like I was just another client to them. Our problems became their problems, and they worked diligently to solve them; if you want a company that is going to look out for your best interest, look no further than Aurora Infotech."
