In today’s digital landscape, where cyber threats are not just a possibility but a persistent reality, the security of your business data is paramount. With many things the age-old argument of do we outsource this or bring it in house is present.

In this article we discuss the cybersecurity benefits of partnering with a Managed IT partner.

The cyber security benefits of using a Managed IT provider

  • Access to a team of cyber security experts – One of the primary benefits of engaging a Managed IT partner is access to a team of cybersecurity experts. Unlike in-house IT departments that may lack specialised security knowledge or be stretched thin across various responsibilities, Managed IT providers have dedicated professionals whose sole focus is on protecting your digital assets.
  • 24/7 security – cyber attacks can happen at any time of the day, but your IT team are only available during working hours. Working with IT partners and Managed XDR/SOC services can offer you much more comprehensive security.
  • Accountability – It is easy to lose track of routine maintenance that can open your organisation up to attack. Simple tasks like updating software and downloading the latest patches. Chasing up password changes and cyber security training can all fall by the wayside. With a Managed IT provider, you can secure these as actionable deliverables that they are required to complete.
  • Keeping up to date – Things move so fast in the IT world, especially with the rise of AI. With evolving attack vectors and strategies combined with new solutions to help on a regular basis it can be hard to keep track. Having a partner that is focused on cyber security will mean they are aware of new threats and the changing landscape and use this to benefit your organisation.
  • Beyond technology – Managed IT providers also understand the human element of cybersecurity. Covering services like, security awareness training for your employees, educating them on how to identify phishing attempts, avoid social engineering tactics, and to follow secure practices. A well-informed workforce is a crucial first line of defence against cyber threats.
