How to Keep the Bad Guys From Winning

There’s a reason why we tend to focus on security, and that’s because it’s not a matter of if you experience a cyberattack, but when. It’s your responsibility to make sure that you’re ready to act in the right way when faced with these attacks. One of the best ways you can be prepared is by working with a managed service provider like us. Today, we have three ways we, as a managed service provider, can help you take the fight to cybersecurity threats.

Keeping Up With Threats

One of the most concerning parts of today’s ever-changing threat landscape is that the bad guys are constantly trying to outdo the good guys. Network security in this case is essentially an arms race with both sides making strides to overcome the other. A managed service provider can ensure you’re always working with the latest threat definitions to combat known (and even unknown) threats. 

Proactive vs Reactive Action

A managed IT provider aims to halt potential threats before they even become problematic for your business. This is because it’s significantly easier to respond to threats before they latch on and dig their claws into your organization’s network. When you work with White Mountain IT Services, you can expect patches and security updates to resolve vulnerabilities, robust security solutions like firewalls and intrusion detection, and security assessments to keep your responses to security issues tight.

Expanding Your Expertise

How much collective IT experience does your organization have? That’s assuming you have IT experience at all; some SMBs don’t have any dedicated IT resource on their payroll, which is a problem in and of itself. Even if you do, if you have only one IT technician, then chances are their knowledge is limited to a certain skillset. When you work with a managed service provider, though, you get the collective experience and knowledge of the entire organization, which includes many technicians with all kinds of different knowledge and skillsets. It’s just one way to get more bang for your buck.

Start Taking Security Seriously

These days, you can’t take security too seriously. If you’re ready to do your part and protect your business, White Mountain IT Services can help. To learn more, call us at (603) 889-0800 today.
