Lightweight, cloud-managed protection that doesn't slow your fleet to a crawl
Webroot (now part of OpenText) is one of the lightest, fastest cloud-managed endpoint security platforms on the market — a fraction of the disk and CPU footprint of legacy AV. We deploy and manage Webroot Endpoint Protection, DNS Protection and Security Awareness Training across SMB fleets in SE Queensland — centrally managed from our console, with daily threat alerting, and per-seat billing in Australian dollars.
Products & Offerings
The complete Webroot security stack
Webroot Endpoint Protection (EPP)
Cloud-managed antivirus and anti-ransomware for Windows, Mac and servers. ~5MB agent footprint, scans in seconds (not hours), zero impact on user experience — your staff stop complaining about "the AV slowing my laptop".
Webroot DNS Protection
Block phishing, malware and adult/category content at the DNS layer before a user even loads the page. Works on-network, off-network and on roaming laptops — no on-prem appliance, no proxy config.
Webroot Security Awareness Training
Phishing simulations, micro-learning modules and compliance reporting — turn your staff from the weakest link into the first line of defence. Includes Australian-relevant scenarios (myGov, ATO, Australia Post phishing).
Multi-Tenant Cloud Console
We manage your Webroot fleet from our central console — push policy, respond to alerts, roll out updates, generate compliance reports. You get the protection without needing to babysit a security console.
Journaling & Rollback Recovery
If something does sneak past, Webroot journals every file change and can roll the endpoint back to pre-infection state — a powerful last line of defence against zero-day ransomware.
Per-Seat Australian Billing
Monthly per-seat licensing in AUD, GST-inclusive, on the same invoice as your other managed services. No annual lock-in for SMB plans.
Why Us
Why deploy Webroot through us
Authorised OpenText Partner
Direct partner channel — proper escalation paths to OpenText's security operations team when a real incident lands.
Fastest Agent Going
Webroot's 5MB agent and cloud-lookup model means it doesn't fight Defender, doesn't tank your CPU and doesn't fail every IT survey for "my computer is slow".
Layered With Defender
We typically deploy Webroot alongside Microsoft Defender (not instead of) — two engines, better detection, low overhead. Best-of-both-worlds approach.
Monthly Security Reports
Threats blocked, devices at-risk, phishing simulation results, training completion — all in a digestible one-page monthly report you can share with your board or insurer.
Phishing Sim + Training Done Properly
We design the phishing campaigns, schedule the training, follow up with users who fall for sims — actual behaviour change, not just "we ticked the box."
Local SE QLD Response
Real incident? You call us. We're on the case within the hour, working through Webroot's investigation tools and (if needed) escalating to OpenText.
Use Cases
Where Webroot is the right pick
Cost-Conscious SMBs
Solid endpoint and DNS protection at a fraction of the per-seat cost of CrowdStrike or SentinelOne — the right call for SMBs where the budget won't stretch to full EDR.
Staff-Heavy, Lightweight-Device Fleets
Field workforces, hospitality teams, sales floors with low-spec laptops — Webroot's tiny footprint means everyone gets protected without buying new hardware.
DNS Filtering Without Hardware
Replace ageing Smoothwall / Untangle appliances or ISP-level filtering with a cloud DNS solution that follows the laptop everywhere — home, hotspot, cafe WiFi.
Cyber Insurance Compliance
Webroot EPP + Security Awareness Training + DNS Protection ticks most of the technical and human-layer boxes on cyber-insurance questionnaires.
Compliance-Driven SMBs
Healthcare, NDIS, accounting practices — Webroot's logging, reporting and AU-billing satisfy the audit trail without enterprise complexity.
Mac-Heavy Creative Teams
Mac AV is a tricky space — Webroot's Mac agent is mature, lightweight and doesn't constantly nag designers with notifications.
Our Process
How a Webroot rollout runs
Device Inventory
We discover your endpoint fleet — Windows, Mac, servers — and count what needs licensing.
Policy Design
Scan schedules, exclusion lists, USB device control, phishing categories, training cadence — designed to your business, not just defaults.
Pilot & Rollout
Deploy to a pilot group (usually IT + 5-10 staff), verify zero compatibility issues, then push fleet-wide via GPO, Intune, RMM or Jamf.
DNS Switch-Over
Point your DNS to Webroot's resolvers — at the network for in-office, at the agent for roaming devices. Categories enforced day one.
Training Programme Launch
Baseline phishing simulation, enroll all staff into Security Awareness Training, schedule monthly micro-modules.
Ongoing Monitoring
Daily alert review, monthly security report, quarterly policy tune-up, annual phishing simulation review — managed by us.
