THREE STEPS. THAT'S IT.

1. We install a small agent on your devices

Takes minutes. Runs silently. Your team won’t notice it’s there.

2. We watch your systems around the clock

Real analysts — not just automated alerts — investigate everything before it reaches you.

3. You get a clear alert if something needs attention

Plain language, specific guidance. We tell you exactly what happened and what needs to happen next.

YOU HAVE ANTIVIRUS. SO DID THEY.

Your antivirus has a blind spot. It blocks known threats it recognises — but modern attackers have learned to work around it.

They don’t arrive with a virus. They arrive with a stolen password. A phishing link that looked legitimate. Software your team uses every day, turned against you.

Once inside, they move slowly and carefully — staying hidden for an average of 150 days before anything goes wrong. By the time your antivirus sees a problem, the damage is already done.

This is the gap. And it closes businesses.

A Michigan medical practice shut its doors permanently after a ransomware attack it couldn’t recover from. A 158-year-old UK company was sunk by a single weak password. Locally, one of Africa’s largest law firms was ordered to pay a client who lost R5.4 million to a business email attack. These aren’t cautionary tales from another era — they’re recent, and they’re not unusual.

The financial logic is straightforward. Even a small team with systems down for a single day loses money in idle wages alone — before counting lost revenue, recovery costs, and the work that has to be redone from scratch. Ransomware doesn’t take your systems down for a day. The average recovery takes weeks. The total cost to a small business — wages, lost revenue, emergency IT, and recovery — routinely runs into the tens to hundreds of thousands of rands. You can work out your own exposure here.

What We Catch That Antivirus Misses.

Preventative security is like fishing with a net — effective, but things still slip through. We specialise in catching what makes it past your defences. When we find something, we tell you and your IT provider. They action it. We keep watching.

Something’s behaving differently on your device

If a device starts acting strangely — accessing files it shouldn’t, running unusual processes — we flag it immediately.

Someone’s in your system who shouldn’t be

We detect the tools and techniques attackers use to establish themselves on your systems — before they move further.

No false alarms. Only real threats.

Every alert is reviewed by a human analyst before it reaches you.

Threats hiding in plain sight

Some attacks look normal until they aren’t. We watch for the patterns that give them away

POWERED BY

The threat detection platform behind our monitoring is Huntress — a modern cybersecurity platform built to detect the kinds of attacker behaviour that traditional antivirus products often miss.

Unlike conventional antivirus software focused mainly on blocking known malware, Huntress was designed from the ground up by former offensive security specialists and ex-NSA cyber operators who understand how real attackers gain persistence, move through networks, and evade standard defences.

Their platform focuses on identifying the signs of an active compromise — not merely scanning files against a database of known threats.

Every alert is backed by a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Centre, meaning experienced analysts are involved before incidents escalate into business disruption.

Free Pilot

Most businesses assume they’d know if something was wrong. They wouldn’t.

Threats that bypass antivirus don’t announce themselves — they wait. A 14-day pilot shows you exactly what’s already in your environment, with no obligation to continue.

Pilot includes:

5 devices monitored free for 14 days
Live threat detection from day one — not a scan, active monitoring
You’re notified immediately if anything is found
No contract. No commitment. Cancel any time.

Pricing:

If you continue after your pilot, pricing starts at R149 per device per month.

What we’re really offering is early warning. The earlier you know, the less it costs.

Why DHD Information Security?
