The team at Cyber Unit has been absolutely amazing to work with and I could not recommend their service highly enough. Their efficiency, accountability and willingness to go beyond my expectations have not only strengthened my knowledge in the importance of Cybersecurity, but they have alleviated all hesitancies I have with choosing a reputable Cybersecurity company for my requirements on an ongoing basis. The professionalism, access, and approachability the whole team have provided, right down to their patience with someone like me who has almost no knowledge in Cyber Security was commendable and I applaud the team for making our interactions seamless. If any business is hesitant in choosing a reputable company to work with, don't look further, Cyber Unit is where it's at. Thank you Cyber Unit Team for helping me get back on track, and providing the support system in place so that I am protected. October 13, 2023

Pros:
Their Professionalism, Accessibility and Patience for one, but also their efficiency. Their effective explanations and directions when needing to implement changes that are needed to ensure a safe and secure production, whilst having a sense of understanding for ones business and personal needs. Their willingness to exceed expectations, and going that little extra mile that makes all the difference in my productivity.
Cons:
If I could find a con, I would provide it, but I can't. Again, I can't recommend them enough. Maybe a raise to the helpful, friendly staff =)

Overall Experience: It’s one of “those companies” - you know the ones where everything just goes smoothly, effectively, easily, positively all around. It’s a no-brainer to hire them over anyone else. It seems pretty cutting edge the way they focus so strongly on cyber security, and how necessary it is to be great at it. It’s actually interesting to learn about this newer form of crime and subsequent protection. I’ve worked with Cyber Unit several times over the years and everyone who’s helped me has been simply perfect with my solutions - yes I can realistically use that word ‘perfect’. If you’re uncertain…. YES cyber security is really really serious and imperative. I’ve heard multiple stories about being hacked (wow… be proactive with THIS for sure). We have insurance for potential occurrences in other areas of life & business - why not our sensitive data or our clients’ sensitive data ?!! -Kyle

Overall Experience: I am a financial planner, and my work entails transmitting very personal information and documents relevant to my clients' finances, estate, and more. Omer was able to give me a consultation about the particular risks many people exposure them due in providing confidential information over email, and then provide a quick, customizable solution that is both easy and most of all secure to replace this. I have on call support for branding and operating the system.

Overall Experience: Omer, the owner, was a speaker at the BTA Winter Summit in Mexico—I was drawn to Cyber Unit's comprehensive services. The entire team, including Tasha and Divya, displayed professionalism and deep expertise in diagnosing and managing our organization's cybersecurity needs. Cyber Unit’s Environmental Scan was nothing short of enlightening, revealing areas (many unknown) for us to bolster our defenses. They guided us across various areas - from network security and encryption to device and user management, while also helping us transition from LastPass to 1Password. Their advice on instituting effective organizational policies was particularly valuable and they've been instrumental in fortifying our digital landscape. Our contracting company is now on a much more SECURE road. Cyber Unit is a trusted partner. Also, Omer is committed to jujutsu excellence, which is always a bonus in my book—Oss!

Overall Experience: After evaluating a few providers, we decided to start our relationship with Cyber Unit. This was primarily because of their approach towards our business. During our call, Cyber Unit team pointed out a few critical things which we were completely unaware about and they could have been the breaking point for us. So, I'm happy to provide any referral or recommendation!

Overall Experience: Omer and his team from Cyber Unit have protected my company for many years now. Our industry is fraught with identity thieves and hackers because we handle sensitive information; and many agents in the industry have fallen victim to cyber attacks to gain access to their data. Thankfully we have been able to rest easy, using state-of-the-art cyber security protection. The protection plans are affordable, and knowing that my data is protected is priceless. Thank you Cyber Unit!

Overall Experience: When we initially signed onto work with Cyber Unit the onboarding process was straightforward and easy to follow, it felt like the entire team was ready and help us out with any issues we might have with setting things up. The extreme value of the Cyber Unit really came through when our company experienced its first cyber security issue that needed a lot of attention to remedy. Cyber Unit dropped everything to help us out and get our entire office and security system back on track. Omer and the entire team are all wonderful to work with and extremely knowledgeable in their field.

Overall Experience: Cyber Unit is helping me each and every second of my life! How? Because we are on the internet 24/7 with our cellphones and laptops. I am using their device protection plan that keeps me safe from various online and vulnerable hacks and cyber threats. Their service is top-notch as they make sure you are set up in the right way and that you are secured and protected.
