In today’s digital world, small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are prime targets for cyberattacks. Many assume that installing antivirus software is enough to stay safe. Unfortunately, that false sense of security is exactly what hackers count on.
Without visibility and control over what’s running on your systems, threats can quietly slip through the cracks — costing your business time, money, and trust.
Why Small Businesses Are at Risk
SMBs face a unique challenge: they’re managing big threats with small teams.
- Limited or no IT staff means there’s often no one watching for unusual activity.
- Outdated tools and assumptions create blind spots that modern threats can exploit.
- Hidden or unauthorized software runs undetected, opening the door to ransomware, data theft, or worse.
The truth is simple — you can’t protect what you don’t know is there. To defend against today’s evolving cyber threats, SMBs need more than just antivirus software. They need a solution that gives them visibility, control, and prevention from the start.
That’s where PC Matic Pro comes in.
1. Know What’s Running
Cybercriminals often exploit outdated or unauthorized applications to sneak into your network. Before you can secure your environment, you need to see what’s actually there.
PC Matic Pro automatically:
- Inventories every application on every device
- Displays real-time dashboards that show what’s running
- Flags suspicious or unsigned software for immediate review
With a complete view of your environment, you can take action before small issues become big problems.
2. Control What’s Allowed
Traditional antivirus solutions operate on a “default-allow” model — meaning they trust everything until it’s proven bad. By the time a threat is labeled “bad,” it’s often too late.
PC Matic Pro takes the opposite approach with a default-deny policy — a prevention-first strategy that blocks everything except trusted applications.
Here’s how it works:
- Only verified, known-good applications can run
- Backed by PC Matic’s global allowlist, updated continuously
- Businesses can easily add internal or custom software
This proactive model stops ransomware and zero-day attacks before they can execute — protecting systems from the unknown.
3. Identify Real Risk
Even with up-to-date software, risk never disappears completely. Visibility and control must go hand in hand with smart detection.
PC Matic Pro helps identify where your biggest risks lie:
- Highlights outdated, vulnerable, or unnecessary software
- Detects unsigned executables that could be malicious
- Sends alerts instantly when new applications appear
This allows small businesses to act fast, stay compliant, and reduce attack surfaces without needing a full-time IT staff.
