Co-Managed MSP services don’t always work out as planned.

Bad matches between clients and their MSPs are a two-way street. One company’s best-in-class MSP is another organization’s worst-in-class IT provider.

On the other hand, a very mediocre MSP can serve a business that is way out of its weight class, but not without substantial risk to the client.

Any term with “IT” in the title can be confusing.

MSPs monitor, manage, support, and secure the infrastructure of small and midsize businesses for a fixed fee. Organizations with up to fifty people usually opt for fully managed IT services because they do not have full-time IT staff managing infrastructure.

Which type of cybersecurity assessment is right for you?

Cybersecurity assessments come in a variety of different flavors and names. Since cybersecurity is foundational to every IT system on the planet, most technology evaluation initiatives are heavily weighted toward identifying and reducing cyber threat risk.

Stronger cybersecurity starts with better administration.

You don’t have to be a CTO, a vCIO, a vCISO, or a network engineer to lower your cybersecurity risk. Are you a proactive, attentive administrator with good follow-through? Congratulations! You’re the perfect person for the job.

Managed service providers and managed security service providers are frequently confused.

A managed service provider (MSP) is not the same as a managed security services provider (MSSP). While the MSP may effectively function as an MSSP for a small and midsize business (SMB), they do so by bundling specific/narrow MSSP services into their general/broad outsourced IT offerings through MSSP channel programs.

Fewer than 1% of MSPs have SOC 2 Type II Certification.

When you partner with a managed IT services provider, you not only depend on them to protect your information, but you also need assurance they’re supported by and connected to reliable third-party cloud and IT service providers.

Life is full of questions, most of which should not be answered on Facebook.

With over 2,850,000,000 monthly users, Facebook is the most popular social network in the world.

Although the secret is out on the rampant proliferation of cybersecurity scams, many of us continue to participate in random surveys, trivia challenges, and games.

A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is a hot commodity.

CISOs have Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) accreditation, making these IT superstars some of the most in-demand security resources in today’s 24/7/365 digital economy.
