Why Houston small businesses get breached
Attackers don't single out big companies. They go after whoever is easiest. For a 10- to 100-person business that usually means one of four things: an employee clicks a convincing phishing email, a reused password gets stolen, a computer misses its security patches, or a remote connection has no multi-factor authentication. Traditional antivirus stops none of these reliably.
The cost isn't only the ransom. It's days of idle payroll, customers who can't reach you, notification obligations if client data was exposed, and a cyber-insurance claim that gets denied if basic controls weren't in place.
Layered Cybersecurity, Managed for You
Eight layers of protection, each designed to stop a specific attack before it reaches your business.
Endpoint detection and response (EDR)
Every computer and server runs Huntress EDR. It watches behavior, not just known virus signatures, and neutralizes threats before they can encrypt your files.
24/7 threat monitoring
Real-time threat monitoring runs 24/7, so a threat is caught at 2am, not discovered at 8am.
Firewall and network security
Business-grade Check Point firewalls, managed and updated, with secure VPN access for remote staff and guest Wi-Fi kept separate from company data.
Multi-factor authentication and access control
MFA on email, remote access and cloud apps blocks most stolen-password attacks outright.
Email security and phishing training
Inky filters malicious email before it lands, and regular security awareness training teaches staff to spot what gets through.
Patch management
Operating system and application patches are applied automatically, closing the holes attackers scan for.
Risk and vulnerability assessments
We find and rank your weak points before someone else does, then fix them in order of business risk.
Immutable backups
Encrypted, immutable backups (Datto, Veeam or Axcient) mean ransomware becomes a restore, not a negotiation. See backup and disaster recovery.
Phishing attack stopped in under 15 minutes
A 40-person Houston law firm's office manager entered her password on a fake Microsoft login page. Our 24/7 monitoring flagged the sign-in from overseas, we locked the account and reset credentials within 15 minutes, and no client data left the building.
One bad click should never become a bad quarter. With layered detection and a team watching around the clock, it doesn't have to. See our cybersecurity services in Houston for the full playbook.

Debra Riner

"Technology always seems to fail at an inopportune time. The Link Source has always answered the call and got us back up and running in a timely manner. Andrew takes time to understand the problem and call the right play vs providing stock answers or solutions. I would recommend anyone try them out and let them prove themselves."
Ramsey Evans
Operating Partner
"A shame I can't give 100 stars! As a company owner I get to deal with many professional service companies. Andrew was something else! We had a scammer trying to go into our system and create a crazy amount of damage. Luckily I was referred to Andrew who jumped right in from the get go. He removed all the existing BS we had, added the right protection to our networks and cleaned up our system completely! … First guy in the industry who doesn't try to sell himself. His actions worth a million!"
Tai Malka
Business Owner
"The Link Source is a knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive team. We need a partner who responds quickly (even if scheduling a later date) and who follows through on what they say they'll do when they say they'll do it. This sums up my experience with The Link Source well. I'm glad we found them as a resource for our business and would not hesitate to recommend them to any other business in the Houston market."

We once had a project we thought needed a service call and when they evaluated it, they shared some experiential knowledge and made a recommendation that saved us significant money."
