No CISO? Your SYLink partners take over
A successful cyberattack on a small business isn't an incident — it's a tipping point. Forty percent of small companies hit shut down within six months. Yet at ten or thirty employees, building an internal security team is out of reach. The answer isn't to become a CISO: it's to lean on a partner who already is, and on a product that just plugs in.
You are the perfect target
Automated attackers no longer hit the CAC40 first. They sweep the Internet looking for standard configurations: an ISP router whose credentials were never changed, an exposed file share, a guest Wi-Fi that touches the accounting network. They often land on a medical practice, a small industrial SMB or a retail shop.
The cost isn't the GDPR fine or the ransom. It's the activity stoppage. Three days without a POS for a restaurant. A week of patient files unavailable for a medical practice. A month of accounting blocked for an accountant during tax season. The Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr figures are unequivocal: when the IT system stops, the business bleeds.
Complexity doesn't help. Between an ISP router, an endpoint antivirus, a NAS backup and a remote-work VPN, you manage four vendors, four bills and four consoles nobody reads. None of these tools talk to each other.
An attack doesn't break a small business with its complexity. It breaks it with its timing.
One appliance, one partner, done
SYLink Box replaces the four tools with one. A compact appliance that plugs between your Internet uplink and the rest of your network. Inside: firewall, intrusion detection, real-time supervision, and a permanent connection to our sovereign portal hosted in France.
The box arrives pre-configured for your business. Five minutes of physical plug-in — Internet on the left, your equipment on the right — and everything is in place. No VLANs to create, no firewall rule to write, no users to provision. The guest Wi-Fi segment is isolated from the workstation segment. The file server only talks to authorized endpoints.
The human side stays essential. The box is delivered and operated by one of our 250 local integrator partners: a single trained, certified SYLink contact, who handles installation at your site, monthly follow-up, and intervention when something goes wrong. You call them, not an anonymous call center.
« Before, we had four providers. Now we have one, and the box he installed is more effective than the four combined. »— Administrative director, law firm — 14 employees
SYLink Box & SYLink Mobile, in duo
The SYLink Box covers your network perimeter. SYLink Mobile (iOS and Android) extends it to your pocket. Both feed the same sovereign portal.
The executive receives alerts directly on their phone: abnormal access attempt, malware detection, suspicious link clicked by an employee. They can see their IT system status at any time without opening a technical console.
GDPR, 24/7 supervision, listed provider
SYLink is listed on Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr — the French national assistance scheme — and on the Gigalis public procurement framework. The portal is hosted in a Green IT datacenter in France, GDPR-compliant. No data leaves European territory.
Supervision is operated 24/7 by our teams in Clermont-Ferrand, Marseille and Rennes. For serious incidents, the phone is answered in under one business hour, with target MTTR under 30 minutes.
