Why Does Cyvatar Cost More? Because Security That Actually Works Costs More.

We hear it all the time:

“We’re comparing providers—and your price is higher. Sometimes double.”

We get it. Budgets matter. But here’s the truth most companies won’t tell you:

Cybersecurity isn’t expensive because the tools are expensive. It’s expensive to do it right.


The Illusion of “Cheaper” Cybersecurity

You’ll find plenty of providers who’ll promise “complete cybersecurity” at rock-bottom prices. But ask them these questions:

✅ Who configures the tools?
✅ Who monitors them?
✅ Who responds when something happens?
✅ How many breaches have your customers had?

The honest answer from many low-cost providers is:

  • They install tools with default settings designed for compatibility, not security.

  • They outsource monitoring to a partner you’ll never talk to.

  • They offer “best-effort” responses after the damage is done.

  • And they won’t tell you about customer ransomware incidents.

That’s because their model depends on selling cybersecurity like antivirus in a box.


Tools Alone Don’t Secure You—Expert Configuration Does

It’s easy to brag about using tools like SentinelOne, Sophos, or Microsoft Defender. But those tools don’t protect you out-of-the-box.

Default settings often prioritize making sure everything runs smoothly—not stopping sophisticated attacks.

Cheaper providers often leave default settings in place.

It’s the equivalent of buying a high-end alarm system but never locking your doors.


What You’re Actually Paying For at Cyvatar

When you invest in Cyvatar, you’re not paying for a license key or a checkbox on an audit.

You’re paying for:

Expertise
Our entire team is cybersecurity-focused. We don’t do IT. We don’t do printers. We only do security.

Configuration
We harden, configure, and test your tools to ensure maximum protection.

Proactive Management
We don’t “set it and forget it.” We layer in Threat and Vulnerability Management, continuous monitoring, and real-time response.

Results

  • Zero ransomware breaches since inception

  • Thousands of ransomware-classified threats blocked or contained

  • 96% customer recommendation rate

  • G2 rating of 4.8 out of 5


Why “Getting It Wrong” Costs More

Here’s the cost many companies don’t see on the invoice from a cheaper provider:

💰 Downtime from ransomware
💰 Paying ransoms
💰 Regulatory fines
💰 Loss of customer trust

Even worse, companies hit once often get hit again. Attackers share lists of “soft targets.”

That’s why Cyvatar’s philosophy is simple:

✅ Get it right the first time
✅ Close vulnerabilities completely
✅ Stay ahead of evolving threats


The Value of Peace of Mind

Yes, Cyvatar often costs more upfront.

But we save you far more in:

  • Avoided breaches

  • Avoided ransoms

  • Avoided downtime

  • Avoided reputational damage

  • Avoided security questionnaires you can’t pass

If your security partner is cutting costs, ask yourself: where are they cutting?

Because real security isn’t cheap. And cheap security isn’t real.
