MANAGED SECURITY

The workforce has evolved and adapted to a remote or hybrid workforce. This change has not only affected how businesses communicate virtually, but it has also affected the cybersecurity strategies that organizations need to adapt to keep their networks, servers, and date protected. Transitioning from a traditional in-house cybersecurity system to a Managed Security service can be beneficial and cost effective to organizations who are operating remotely.

What is Managed Security?

Managed Security is a cybersecurity service that provides protection for devices, servers, networks, and data remotely. The need to build a costly in-house team and infrastructure is eliminated when working with a third-party provider. Instead of building and investing in your own cybersecurity infrastructure, a third-party service offers assets such as managed firewalls, vulnerability scanning and real-time threat detection.

What are the benefits of outsourcing managed security?

Access to security experts: When outsourcing your security, you will be handing over your organizations defense to a team of experts that are equipped to handle cyber threats of any size.

24/7 Monitoring: Securing a network and monitoring threats is a 24/7 job. By working with an external team, your organization will obtain around-the-clock surveillance to monitor and defend against threats.

Scalability: In the chance that a large threat occurs to your network, the expert team has the ability and resources to quickly call-in extra help for additional expert support.

Cost Effective: In addition to the expenses associated with your internal team, the costs related to monitoring, updating, and responding to attacks, as well as establishing an in-house cybersecurity infrastructure can be quite substantial. In contrast, investing in an external team minimizes costs, provides 24/7 surveillance, and provides a proactive strategy against threats.

Access to new technology: External cybersecurity providers are always looking to provide the most up to date technologies, giving the client the opportunity to experiment with emerging innovations.

Why should you invest in cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is not a new concept, however, with the transition to remote and hybrid workforces, organizations of all sizes are more susceptible to cybersecurity attacks. As the remote and hybrid workforce continues to expand, it gives more opportunity to groups that attempt cyber-attacks. This is because employees are now accessing their company’s network and information from both personal and company devices from various locations, creating more points of entry and opportunity for threats. In today’s landscape, no business is immune to a cyber-attack.

To combat threats and continue to offer a safe and remote/hybrid workforce, companies must be proactive in their cybersecurity strategy. Investing in managed security before the threat happens can save your company from financial loss, a damaged reputation, loss of customer trust, and possible legal consequences while also guaranteeing confidence in your stakeholders.
