Cybersecurity

All businesses are at risk from cyber attacks but some types of businesses make easier targets than others. You might think that cybercriminals might focus their attacks on businesses that handle a lot of sensitive data, like companies in the financial or healthcare industries. Yet while these businesses do have vast amounts of data, they also tend to have more robust security systems in place. Small and medium-sized businesses that don't have access to dedicated cybersecurity experts, strategies and solutions are easier targets for cyber attacks

There are several advantages of managed IT security services from a specialist provider, including but not limited to:

• Lower costs – According to data from TechRepublic, the average Security Operations Centre (SOC) costs around £800,000 per year to run, requiring hiring an experienced team, purchasing hardware, licensing software solutions and the costs of ongoing training. In most cases, outsourcing cybersecurity is a less expensive alternative.

• Access to expertise – You gain access to a team of dedicated cybersecurity experts with specialist knowledge and deep experience, which in-house teams with multiple responsibilities typically lack.

• Time efficiency – Outsourcing cybersecurity to a specialist firm frees up your internal IT team to focus on higher-value business activities, with peace of mind that you have dedicated experts taking care of security.
