With the holiday season quickly approaching, it is time to sit back, relax, and take a well-deserved break. While many of us use the holidays to spend time at home, hackers take advantage of the holiday months. The holiday months have the most cyberattacks, and, unfortunately, SMBs (small-to-medium businesses) are uniquely at risk. SMBs often lack the security infrastructure or resources to comprehensively protect their business from cyberattacks.
According to Ponemon’s State of Cybersecurity report, 66% of SMBs experienced a cyberattack in the last 12 months and 45% of SMBs believe that their security processes are ineffective at mitigating the attacks. Read more here. With the ever-increasing threat of a cyberattack, ensuring your SMBs cybersecurity is of the utmost importance. This holiday season, consider partnering with a Managed Service Security Provider so that you can take the break you deserve.
So, What Is a Managed Service Security Provider?
A Managed Service Security Provider (MSSP) is an IT partner. When partnering with an MSSP, your company outsources its security needs. An MSSP is staffed with IT specialists who evaluate your security vulnerabilities, keep your data safe, ensure it is retrievable, and swiftly identify any data security breaches.
An MSSP provides services such as firewall management, end-to-end data protection, vulnerability identification/scanning, and software updates/management.
MSSPs are uniquely valuable for SMBs because they provide professional IT services without incurring the cost of hiring an in-house IT team. Partnering with an MSSP can free up company resources and time to focus on what matters—growing your business and supporting your clients.
