Explanation

🧩 What Problem Are We Solving?

Today, many small businesses rely on the internet to run operations—like sending invoices, storing customer data, or managing accounts. But at the same time, they're under threat from cyber attacks like:

  • Fake emails that steal passwords (phishing)

  • Viruses that lock or delete files (ransomware)

  • Hacking into private business data

Sadly, most MSMEs don’t have IT teams or the knowledge to stop these threats. One small mistake can cause huge financial loss or shutdown.

  3. Emergency button – shuts down systems instantly if an attack happens.
