Secure IO was established in 2019 on The Sunshine Coast, with technicians in the industry since 2002. We all came together with an already focused mind on cyber security & decided there was not enough care taken in the IT industry. With this, we decided to start ‘Secure IO’, a security focused IT business offering IT Cyber Security services in Maroochydore.
Australians lost $500 Million to scams in 2018; an increase of $140 Million (28%) from the year before & these are only reported scams. With these scams only increasing every year, every industry, from accounting to construction in suburb must stay ahead of the curve, increasing Cyber Security. If this does not worry you, nearly 3 out of 4 companies infected with ransomware due to scams are down in best case for 2+ days with an average loss of $713,000 per incident. Can you afford these costs? (Source: Absolute IT)
Maroochydore was subdivided from Cotton Tree by Surveyor Thomas O’Connor in 1903. Then, it was acquired by William Pettigrew who had a timber depot at what is now Wharf Street. So, it’s name comes from the Aboriginal Yuggera word ‘Muru-kutchi’, meaning ‘red bill’, referring to the black swan, which is common in the area.
