According to Infosecurity Magazine, near 1.4 billion records were compromised in the first quarter of 2018. The growing pervasiveness of data breaches, and its consequences has led to the topic of ‘cybersecurity risk management’ being highly discussed among the Board of Directors of various organizations.
Business leaders must keep updated with the evolving threat landscape, and adhere to best practices. They must put in proper processes that protect not only your customers, but your employees and business as a whole.
As cyber-attacks continue to advance, many organizations turn to managed service providers (MSPs) as a means of preventing and mitigating breaches. By partnering with an MSP, you can enhance your cybersecurity strategies. Here’s how.
Centralized Security
MSPs can help set-up role-based permission/ authentication for all your virtual networks, applications and devices. Since managed IT providers take a solution-based approach to security including physical reinforcements, as well as encryptions, you get complete visibility into all the inner workings of your IT. Using 24/7/365 monitoring services, you can take a proactive approach to cybersecurity and eliminate threats before they harm you.
These items are often overlooked by in-house IT departments as they are bogged down with core competencies. But, they remain key to offering you a holistic approach to security.
Access To Latest Technologies At A Flexible Price
Automation tools today can leverage cloud computing and software defined networking (SDN) to perform fully automated security checks and enforce regulations. Automation is a requisite for businesses today but, pricing can be a barrier.
Investing in a top data security specialist for your internal IT team can be expensive. Not only that, investing in all the latest infrastructure to secure your business (especially, if you haven’t upgraded in a while) can burn a hole in your pocket.
MSPs can offer you access to the latest tools and professionals for a flexible fee, so you don’t have to compromise on security.
Dedicated Analytics
Running a proactive approach to security, managed service providers can leverage machine learning (ML) to perform intensive threat analysis. By getting a better grasp of the threat landscape, you remain better prepared to future threats.
Help With Compliance
Depending on the industry they work in, organizations have to remain compliant with legislation. MSPs can help businesses comply with a host of regulations like HIPAA, DFARS, PCI-DSS and HITECH. Governments of many countries today are coming up with stricter compliance measures in a bid to stop leaks and protect its citizens. A breach or failure to meet minimum compliance requirements, can leave your business open to lawsuits and heavy fines.
The cost of a fragile security system can cost your company, millions in damages and service outages. By partnering with an able managed service provider(MSP) like ProV International Inc, you can outsource your IT needs to a global team of experts and with the support technologies.
