Outsourced Cybersecurity

Outsourced Security: Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Choosing to outsource security means extending your IT capabilities with the support of a managed service provider (MSP). Many CIOs, CISOs, and IT leaders see this security model as a cost-effective way to enable a comprehensive cybersecurity program for their businesses, without increasing total cost of ownership (TCO).


Why Choose Outsourced Security

According to the 2019 Deloitte Survey, 99% of organizations outsource some portion of cybersecurity operations. Vulnerability management and security training are among the top outsourced categories.

Reducing the complexity of IT operations is a key for organizations. It allows them to focus on enabling business growth, while knowing that their information security is taken care of.

Agility and Automation

Unified Security Approach

Centralizing security management provides more precise reporting and visibility. It prevents exploitation of vulnerable systems, phishing, ransomware, intrusions, and advanced malware across users, environments, and devices.

Even large organizations with security teams in the double digits are often tackling other high-priority staffing and transformation projects that put dedicated security monitoring on the back burner.
