Did you know that over 70% of attacks happen through email? Not all links require you to “click here” but could, for example, be a malicious payload behind an embedded image originating from an email address that looks legitimate. That is why email security is always a good place to start when looking to secure your environment; this coupled with advanced threat protection through your managed service provider, will ensure that your environment is more secure.

Think about a traditional office environment; the staff connects to the company network, which would have a firewall doing most of the heavy lifting. What happened during the COVID-19 pandemic? Users started working remotely, and the previously secure environment protected behind a firewall is no longer necessarily safe but vulnerable to the potential cyber-attacks. Wouldn’t it be great to know that no matter where your staff connects to from, that your environment and end-points would remain secure?

End-point protection with real-time advanced threat protection can offer greater visibility into your end-points irrespective of where your employees are working from and add a crucial layer of security to your strategy.  

Customers are now looking more and more at various cybersecurity options. When it comes to cybersecurity, everyone is a target. It is often the businesses that have the largest budget that are more secure than an entity with little or no budget for cybersecurity in place. Managed service can support by introducing security layers and helping the business develop a sound strategy to help against cybersecurity attacks.

A managed service provider or MSP can support your business growth as they provide the expertise for your business’s IT and security-related needs. These can be in the form of backup recovery and restore, detection and response services, compliance monitoring, cloud security, firewall management, penetration testing, VPNs, web and email security, to name but a few.   

Security-based managed services, work with and support you as a business owner and your in-house IT by providing an in-depth view of your IT and business environment’s security. While there are many things that you can rely on your internal IT team for, a key component now more critical than ever is security.

An MSP can provide additional visibility and support, including after-hours, when your staff has gone home. These could come in the form of 24/7 or 8/5 response and monitoring while supporting the business in bridging any internal skill gaps. Lastly, a managed service reduces the in-house staff’s burden in the ever-increasing need to update the security application, systems, and services.

Some readers may say that this is all unnecessary as we are all fully cloud-based, and therefore, we are secure. While this may be the case, we would advise that all too often, the shared responsibility between the service provider and the cloud tenant is often overlooked or misunderstood. Just because an entity is in the cloud does not exclude them from threats or potential attacks or responsibility around securing their information. Security as a service can then support your business in the cloud, on-prem, or a hybrid giving you more time to concentrate on your business. Think of the managed service you are purchasing as an investment that gives you a tailored a-la-carte approach to harden your security, by restructuring your current service offering, adding missing service components without necessarily increasing the bottom line.
