4 Ways VNET Uses SmartBiz to Be a Trusted Cybersecurity Partner for Small Businesses

In today’s increasingly connected world, cybersecurity is a top priority—especially for small businesses that lack the resources of larger enterprises but face the same, if not more, digital risks. For broadband service providers (BSPs) like VNET Fiber, this presents an opportunity to become a trusted partner to local businesses. By deploying SmartBiz, VNET enables small businesses to secure their operations, boost productivity, and compete with confidence.
 

Here’s how VNET Fiber uses SmartBiz to be a trusted advisor to their small business subscribers in Erie, Pennsylvania—ensuring those businesses remain not just connected, but protected.
 

1. SmartBiz Creates a Secure Network Foundation for Small Businesses

Many small businesses, like pizza shops and barber shops, rely on digital tools to run their operations—but they often lack proper IT support. SmartBiz is a purpose-built small business managed solution which provides multiple secure, persona-based networks that include enterprise-grade firewalls, secure segmented Wi-Fi, and automated monitoring. This helps VNET clients protect point-of-sale systems, cloud-based apps, and sensitive customer data.
 

2. Segmented Wi-Fi Keeps Public and Private Networks Safe

Customers expect access to Wi-Fi when they visit small businesses—but unsegmented and open Wi-Fi networks can open the door to serious security breaches. SmartBiz solves this by offering four dedicated, persona based Wi-Fi networks out of the box—including a dedicated guest network. Business owners can confidently offer public access while keeping internal systems—like accounting and inventory tools—isolated and secure.
 

3. Simplified Cybersecurity Through a Single Managed Solution

SmartBiz consolidates critical cybersecurity tools into one platform. That means no juggling multiple vendors or troubleshooting incompatible hardware. VNET uses SmartBiz to deliver a simplified, unified cybersecurity approach that small businesses can understand and trust—freeing them from the burden of complex network management.
 

4. Local Support Builds Long-Term Trust

In addition to a purpose-built small business solution, what sets VNET in their market? Local, high-touch service. With employees who live and work in the community, VNET builds trust through personal relationships, consistent service, and quick response times. SmartBiz amplifies this advantage by giving VNET the tools to deliver fast resolutions and proactive support.

The Takeaway: Cybersecurity Is a Growth Opportunity

VNET’s success with SmartBiz shows how BSPs can become cybersecurity allies for their small business customers. By packaging network security, simplified management, and added-value services into a trusted, local solution, VNET helps its business community stay productive and protected.
 

In a digital economy where every minute of uptime counts, SmartBiz is more than a product—it’s a promise. And VNET delivers on that promise every day.
