There are many benefits to having a Security Management Provider working for you. Their experience and full-time management of your security will provide you with the following.

Increased Efficiency and Lower Costs

Your Managed Security Provider will bring with them the expertise of working in the industry for an extended period. They will be up to date on all the latest threats to cybersecurity, and they will have at their disposal all the most innovative cybersecurity tools and practices to help keep your company as safe as possible.

  • Detection and repair of vulnerabilities in your critical systems
  • Proactive prediction of cybersecurity threats
  • Automatic detection of offensive methods and strategies in your critical systems
  • Quick and effective response to threats and incidents
  • Reduction in the chances that an attack will be successful

Regulatory Compliance

With a Managed Security Provider, you can rest assured that your organization is complying with all regulations regarding cybersecurity by ensuring that your systems and the sensitive data they contain are only accessible by the people who need access and only when they need it.

Reduced Risk

Not only is your risk of a cyberattack minimized, but you will also enjoy lower risk with all aspects of cybersecurity. Your service level agreement (SLA) with your Managed Service Provider will ensure their 24/7, 365 days-per-year support, as well as their incident response times and guarantees should a cybersecurity incident occur.

A single cybersecurity event can cause your company a significant amount of damage, both to your finances and your reputation. It can also bring with it legal action. By working with a Managed Security Provider, you will minimize the chances of a cybersecurity incident even happening, and if one does, you will be far more prepared to handle it swiftly and effectively.
