As cyberattacks become increasingly common among businesses of all sizes and industries, it’s only good business to put measures in place to protect your business’s bottom line. Cyberattackers have the ability to steal money, take sensitive client information, and even bring a business’s network infrastructure to a screeching halt. Anticipating and defending against threats such as these is difficult. Multi-billion dollar companies with nearly unlimited resources are susceptible to cyberattacks. That’s why it’s essential to take cyber threats seriously and put measures in place to protect your business and clients.
Whether you have an in-house IT department or not, partnering with a Managed Services Provider (MSP) can safeguard your business against emerging cyber threats.
What is an MSP?
A managed service provider is a company that specializes in providing IT infrastructure, data storage, and cybersecurity protection to other companies. They are usually hired by businesses that don’t have the budget to maintain the necessary IT infrastructure in-house, or that could use some help managing and strengthening their own infrastructure. Managed service providers can improve a business’s cybersecurity by providing advanced anti-virus software, firewalls, and more tools to defend the business. A managed service provider can be a great investment for any business looking to improve its cybersecurity and network infrastructure.
MSPs Protect Against Cyberattacks
Small business owners often say, “Who wants to hack us? We’re too small to be targeted.” For small businesses, however, cyberattacks can actually be a serious problem. The risk of cyberattacks is higher for small businesses because they usually have less IT infrastructure and cybersecurity than larger companies. Small businesses also have less personnel to deal with the problem and fewer resources to allocate for cybersecurity infrastructure. According to the Ponemon Institute’s 2019 Global State of Cybersecurity in Small and Medium-Sized Businesses survey, United States companies are at the highest risk of experiencing a cyberattack. Additionally, 76% of respondents in the United States said their companies had been attacked within the past year. Small businesses need to protect themselves against the ever-present threat of cyberattacks. Partnering with a managed service provider is an incredibly effective way to curb cyberattacks and protect your business’s most crucial assets.
Managed service providers can offer your business a full complement of tools to establish a robust IT infrastructure. Identifying and bolstering your business’s weak points will help your business better defend against malicious cyberattacks. Without the costly expenses of establishing your own IT department, managed service providers offer your business fully-trained, expert IT professionals to guide you through the entire process. Additional support comes in the way of 24-hour monitoring, data backup, data encryption, real-time threat prevention, network and firewall protection, security training for employees, and more depending on your managed service provider. You can protect your business effectively and budget-consciously with the help of trained cybersecurity experts.
