Provide 24/7 Security Monitoring
“A security-focused MSP will provide fully managed incident detection and response that combines automated monitoring with human expert analysis. For instance, Security Information and Event Management(SIEM) systems deliver automated alerts. Trained engineers from the MSP then review and address those alerts using industry best practices.”
Act as Trusted Advisors with Deep Microsoft Expertise
“By partnering with the right MSP, companies gain critical access to trusted experts. For instance, the MSP can help standardize and automate security policies across multiple tenants. They can also assist your IT department with implementing MFA, zero trust, advanced email protection and other critical security tools.”
Ensure Timely Patch Management
“With hundreds of applications and devices, including IoT devices, staying on top of security patches can prove challenging. An MSP protects your on-premises and cloud environments by implementing a comprehensive patch management strategy.”
