This October, recognize Cybersecurity Awareness Month by shining some light on your business’s current cybersecurity and data protection efforts.

MSP vs. MSSP
Ensuring that your IT systems are functional, and your company’s data and systems are safe, secure, and compliant should be one of your business’s top priorities. While many organizations believe the relationships they’ve developed with their managed service provider will keep their systems protected, this is not necessarily the case.
Managed service providers (MSPs) keep the network running, ensure all the computers are in good working order, and make sure all employees can communicate and access information. Managed security service providers (MSSPs), however, lead with a security and risk first approach. While both are important for your business, MSSPs are necessary to help keep your data safe. Only MSSPs can limit access to confidential data based on credentials and help you set up important security measures like two-factor authentication.
